Not every driver has the same priorities. Adjust the category weightings above to re-rank the tires based on what matters most to your driving style.
Each cell shows a bar comparing the tire to the class leader for that test — a longer bar means stronger performance. Bar colour matches the test category.
The original test ranking is shown in the # column. Arrows indicate how each tire moves when your custom weighting is applied.
What exactly are summer tires and winter tires. Surely tire manufacturers don't expect us to change tires twice a year.
I can't find this test on autobild. Do you have the exact link?
Sorry, for some reason we don't have the link archived.
The 2012 version of the test is easy to find on autobild (and here)
Bought the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons recently, due to living down single track country lanes, which are wet & muddy & having a couple of accidents purely down to lack of grip. these tires are FANTASTIC & have made an incredible difference to grip, handling & stopping, totally transforming my drive, even though I already had decent tires before.
Glad to hear you're enjoying them :)
where is other big brands such as michelin, pirelli, nokian, bridgestone?
Michelin and Pirelli don't make a "proper" all season tire, Bridgestone are in 5th with the A001 and we're not sure where Nokian are!
The Hankook and Goodyear tires have usually held the top two position in past tests. Hence surprised to see the Vredestein in 1st place in the 2011 test. What car/ tire size did they use in the 2011 test? as this might be one of the things affecting the rankings. Strange the Hankook has the best rolling resistance yet comfort and noise scores aren't better(?) Personally I would still opt for Hankook or Goodyear over
Vredestein as their rankings have been more consistent over the years.
