Is there an explanation anywhere of how your ratings in each category work? Are the ratings linear? IE, will a tire with a wear of 4 wear out twice as fast as a tire with a wear of 8?

  These scores were directly converted from the original article where sadly there is no indication of a scale. Your assumption is a sound one though.

  Noted at the bottom:
  The "Formula C" tire finished in 8th place with the best marks for wear and a low fuel consumption, but a weakness in the wet. Unfortunately at time of writing we couldn't find enough information to include it in our database.

Nice to see Optigrip doing well. Apart from mine, I haven't seen these on any other cars!

  It is strange Michelin weren't in this test. They were in the 165/70 R14 test with the Michelin Energy Saver (and finished second). That's due to go live tomorrow so we'll link it then!
