How a comparison is built
A tire test is only fair within itself. The same car, the same track, the same weather and the same driver on the same day is what makes one tire's wet braking distance comparable to another's. So a comparison starts by finding every published independent test that included both tires, and everything else follows from those tests alone.
From each shared test we take the finishing position and the measured numbers behind it: wet and dry braking distances, handling lap times, aquaplaning speeds, rolling resistance, noise, and wear where the test measured it. The head-to-head record on this page counts how often each tire finished ahead. The comparison page itself goes further and shows the margin in every discipline, because a tire that loses narrowly on dry handling and wins heavily in the wet is the better tire for most drivers.
Owner reviews sit alongside the test data, never inside it. They come from drivers who submitted them to this site, each naming the car, the size and the distance covered, and each read by a person before it was published. Test data tells you how a tire performs when new on a closed track; owners tell you what it is like after 20,000 miles.
The TR Score shown against each tire rates it out of 10 on every test and owner review we hold for it, not just the shared ones, weighted by how much evidence backs it. Two tires can therefore have close scores and a lopsided head-to-head record, or the reverse.
Common questions
How do you compare two tires?
Every comparison starts from the independent tests where both tires were driven back to back, on the same day, in the same size. We record where each tire finished in every one of those tests and the numbers behind each discipline - wet braking distances, dry handling lap times, rolling resistance, noise - then set the two side by side. Owner reviews from drivers who have run the tires are shown alongside the test data, never mixed into it. Across this section that means 813 comparisons drawn from 374 independent tests and the 6,441 owner reviews written about the tires in them.
What is a shared test?
A shared test is one independent tire test that included both tires. It is the only way to compare two tires fairly: the same track, the same car, the same weather and the same tester on the same day. Two tires that each won a different test in a different year have not actually been compared at all, so a comparison with no shared tests carries no head-to-head record.
Which tire comparison is the most read?
Continental AllSeasonContact 2 vs Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 is the comparison drivers run most often on this site. Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 finished ahead in 16 of the 27 tests they have shared.
Can I compare more than two tires?
Yes. Pick up to eight tires and the comparison is built on the tests all of them share, with the category weightings adjustable so the ranking reflects what you actually drive in. A group comparison needs at least two tests that included every tire chosen, otherwise there is nothing to compare them on.
Are these comparisons independent?
The test results come from published independent tests - our own and those of magazines and motoring organizations across Europe and North America - and the owner reviews come from drivers who submitted them to this site and were checked by hand before publication. No manufacturer pays for a placing, a score or a verdict.
Run one of these tires?
Review it and the next driver comparing it against something else gets your experience alongside the test data. It takes about five minutes.
Where this data comes from
Test results are read out of published independent tests - our own and those of magazines and motoring organizations across Europe and North America. Owner reviews are submitted through this site and checked by hand before publication.
What the TR Score is
One number out of 10 for a tire's standing across every test and owner review we hold for it, weighted by how much evidence backs it. It is not the head-to-head record, which counts only the tests the two tires shared - so two tires can have close scores and a lopsided record, or the reverse.
How often it updates
Comparisons rebuild as new tests are published and new reviews arrive, so a tire's record here changes through its life rather than being fixed at launch.
