What do you think about a nexen n blue on a bmw 320? Now I prefer the Nokian wr d4 (winter) with a lower handling than the uncomfortable Dunlop sport max RF (summer).
The nexen can be a half way, or like the Nokian?

  You can see how the Nexen performs in this test compared to a winter and summer tire above. It wouldn't be my first choice of all season tire due to the drt grip, but it seems to be ok for its price point.

    Thanks, I'm from Italy, here the difference between the nexen and other premium choice is at least 40€ (×4 160 for 225/50 r17), and if I pierce one it would be even more.
    But the nexen have a low noise, but a low comfort? So if I need comfort and low noise the Goodyear is better... but the difference in price is about 55€ for each tire, and for the Michelin even more.

Is it a secret what reference tires are?

  Sadly for this test, yes. It will have been a premium winter tire.

I really regret there is no Nokian Weatherproof in this test. Moreover I'm very curious about Continental AllSeasonsContact - is that really so good or does it have good results because it was German magazine which made tests? I was almost decided to buy GoodYear Vector 4Seasons but 1) it's not XL model which for SUV car can make small difference 2) I've found in Internet few stories about breaking this tire - manufacturing defect? perhaps only for some short time but still it was something making me to afraid to buy it.

  I wouldn't worry about any manufacturing issues with the Goodyear, I've not heard any reports. I also believe the Continental is as good as the magazine has made out, largely because the grip comes at the expense of wear.

Is the ranking updated?
2nd Michellin with 53pts, while:
Kleber Quadraxer 54,
BFGoodrich 55,
and so why is Goodyear no1 with 55pts, same as BFG?

  Auto Bild weight apply category weighting to each of the results, which means for example a score in the wet is worth more than a score in cost.
  This does leave the overall totals a little confusing, which is why we include all the key data in the charts above.

CrossClimate or CrossClimate + tested ?

I ride on the second placed tires which doesn't seem bad.
Respect to Auto Build for the tests and of course the Value tests that complete the whole picture.

Thanks for the valuable review!
Pls. take a look at the total score calculations, especially in case of the Goodyear tire, because dry result was taken 4 times (4x6 points), so actual result is 55 points, if I am right. Thanks!

Great article. You know, I hope the Conti AllSeasonContact turns out to have better subjective feel than the Michelin Crossclimate. Wear may be more important to taxi drivers, but I expect subjective feel will trump everything for enthusiastic drivers. The UK market needs a premium sports all season tire. I really want to put all season tires with snow capability on to my hot hatch when the cold weather starts, but I'm not prepared to sacrifice fun to do it. Could this new Conti tire be the one I've been waiting for???

  Obviously without testing we don't actually know, but usually more sipes means more tread block movement which means worse subjective handling. I'm due to drive them in Feb 2018 which is a long while away, hopefully someone will leave a review before that time! :)

  You may be surprised by the crossclimate!
  I have given them a caning on a big diesel mpv driving it much more aggressively and quicker than it was designed for. As someone who hates sloppy tires and poor subjective feel/handling, they have impressed me greatly. Put it this way, they are better, on the hottest of summer days, than conti eco 3, nokian line, and within an ace of primacy 3...

Well, the wear is still better than the reference winter and summer so I am happy that I choose the Conti's as I value the other criteria more (and the rolling resistance appears excellent which is important on an EV). Fitted to the rims but not on the car for another couple of weeks.

  The summer and winter tires weren't tested for wear, sadly the database system doesn't allow for blank values. I'll update the article to reflect this.

The Nexen for a cheaper tire seem to work very well in every category except for aquaplaning,
But my question is regarding comfort, why do they score so low and what are the criterias for the comfort scoring?

#2892
1. Michal Krzykacz Bruno Oct 18, 2017 archived
  
  Exactly, Nexen is quite quiet (best mark) and yet the tire is marked comfort 2?
  Why?

So still Goodyear is the best for central Europe :)
Conti has amazing traction on all surfaces, but wear is so disappointing... I'm wondering for who is that tire, only for personns making around 5-8k kilometers per year.

  If Auto Bild hadn't tested wear we'd have a very different opinion!

Since when goodyear is so good in dry braking? It used to be its weakest point. Except if there was an update of the tire.
