    External noise on the graph, internal on the comment above. Which is it, as there is not much correlation between the two? Wanting to buy the premium contact 6 (PC6) for low INTERNAL noise, autoexpress testing it on a GTI (similar to my car) was good for internal noise and significantly better than PS4, this result makes me wonder...

    When you tested the PC6 recently, did you run it over rough asphalt/concrete? Was it noisy? Thanks!

    (buying 235/40R18 size)

      Internal, our database can only show external at the moment. I'll get that updated.

      If you watch the video NVH is discussed near the end. The Asym 5 was the best internally. The PC6 maybe a tiny bit better than the Asym 3

        Thanks, better to rely on the noise test done with a similar cars and don't get scared off by these very different results... on a very different car. Noise is very difficult overall, so many variables.
        Now taking a gamble with a much more intesting tire for me, the GYF1SS :)

    The Autobild sports car has already used the Bmw 5 Series vehicle in the UHP winter tires of the same size:

    It is a surprise that the Falken Azenis 510 has not been included in this test. This tire is very popular among Bmw drivers in my homeland.

    A strange mismatch of summary remarks & graph results at times - ???

      I'm a little overloaded with work at the moment so rushing but of the smaller tests out, have you examples? I just scanned the article and couldn't see anything obvious.

        Two examples might suffice:
        1. AS3 & PC6 are described as excellent & good dry handlers respectively. The bar graph scores are identical.
        2. PZ4 & UV are described as excellent & very good dry handlers respectively. The bar graph scores reverse this order.

          Ah you meant the tire notes!

          I'll look into this further, I feel like the translation sometimes gets things a little different from the original intent.
