In previous years Auto Express have been slow to publish their tire tests online, but not this year - Auto Express have done such a great job on their website, there's nothing left for us to add! Get over to the Auto Express Website to read their 2014 tire test in full!
The Results
- 3PMSF: no
A good all round performance with few compromises make this a winter tire winner
- 3PMSF: no
Top performer on snow and in dry conditions in the cold, but not the cheapest to run
- 3PMSF: no
An excellent debut in our test, with good performance on snow and wet roads
- 3PMSF: no
A promising return for Uniroyal, although the poor fuel economy is something of a surprise
- 3PMSF: no
Its days on sale are number (the Michelin Alpin 5 has replaced it), but this winter tire is still well worth considering
- 3PMSF: no
Secure and safe, although rivals have the edge over this tire in most tests
- 3PMSF: no
Competent, but aquaplaning performance needs looking at, as does fuel efficiency
- 3PMSF: no
A keenly priced tire, but you will pay for that at the pumps over time
- 3PMSF: no
Seven per cent off the best winter tire in the snow, better than the best winter tire in the dry, and again 7% behind the best winter in the cold wet test, but 10% ahead of the summer tire
- 3PMSF: no
An unsurprisingly fail in all snow tests, the summer tire needed an extra 5 metres to stop under wet braking. Slight edge on the winters in the cold dry tests
