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.
Scores are colour-coded from red (weakest) through yellow to green (strongest) to help you quickly spot each tire's strengths and weaknesses.
The original test ranking is shown in the # column. Arrows indicate how each tire moves when your custom weighting is applied.
