Interestingly, it wasn't one of the premium brands that won this test but the Nokian V. The Nokian secured the win due to its excellent wet braking and good rolling resistance, yet still managing to post an overall 3rd on the dry tests. A true no compromise tire.
Second to eighth position were covered by the usual "big 5" premium brands, with only Goodyear missing from this test. Amongst the traditional big scorers was the now consistently scoring Vredestein Ultrac Cento and the Fulda Sport Control, two tires certainly worth considering if you're on a budget.
The last 3 places were taken by the Toyo T1 Sport, GT Radial Champiro HGY and Kumho KU39, with common criticisms of these 3 tires being high rolling resistance, poor wet performance and a risk of aquaplaning.
