Adjust Result Weighting
The overall scores below are calculated using our weighting system. Since the original publication may use a different scoring methodology that wasn't shared, these results may differ from their published rankings. You can adjust the weightings below to explore how different priorities affect the results.

Cells are colour-coded from green (best) to red (worst). The Total Score reflects the weighted sum of all categories. A ★ marks the best tyre in each test.

Not every driver has the same priorities. Adjust the category weightings above to re-rank the tyres based on what matters most to your driving style.
Scores are colour-coded from red (weakest) through yellow to green (strongest) to help you quickly spot each tyre's strengths and weaknesses.
The original test ranking is shown in the # column. Arrows indicate how each tyre moves when your custom weighting is applied.
Do you know when/if they're likely to bring out more sizes of this tyre? Would be great on my mach e (225 55 19) which at the moment looks like I'll be going to the Michelin Primacy 5 Energy.
I'm intresested in the Pilot Sport 5 Energy for my EV... Does anyone have Informations about comfort and noise level for this tire?
If the general tradeoff is that an "eco" tyre will have a lower rolling resistance at the cost of wet grip, while their expected mileage is the same, wouldn't their wet grip performances and rolling resistances just converge over time, and thus the results shown are basically the widest they will ever be.
Additionally if we account for the fact that in this case the PS5 Energy has lower abrasion while achieving the same mileage, the user is essentially buying a tyre with a harder compound, which performs worse grip wise.
I would assume that the need for such tyres comes from car manufacturers primarily to reduce their carbon tax when selling new vehicles and that there are regulative pressures from EU primarily when it comes to abrasion as tires are a decent factor in micro plastics pollution, it just seems that the rolling resistance gains over the life of the tyre are exaggerated over time.
You are correct that, as the tread depth gets worn, they are likely going to get closer overall. Unfortunately, how much closer we don't know without seeing the data, which I'm not sure anyone will ever publish.
