    Nobody ever tests tires that are available on a 13" RIM.
    All I have to go on are the Euro ratings!

      Tire testing is very expensive and sadly there's low demand for 13" tests :(

    The Continentals PC 6 cost some 13£ more per tire than the Semperits. For a set of 4 it's just 52£ more and they should last longer according to some wear tests compared to 2018 ADAC test on the Semperit. They usually have low rolling resistance too, where the Semperits are average in this matter, so nowadays it's really pointless to buy mid-range tires unless someone needs to sell the car asap.

        The tire market is so diverse in quality aspects that all information is good. 15 years ago I remember being shocked to see a Toyo (don't remember which one) lasting the same 60k on the rear of a gently driven Audi A4 as a Michelin Primacy HP!

        Conversely I've experienced shockingly bad tires on 2nd hand cars I've bought which is a reason I'm pleasantly surprised to see Maxxis doing well. Now I'd like to see the test repeated with tires worn to 2mm (incredibly hard to be fair and accurate though). I guess this is the area user reviews are useful though.

    Falken make the Best midrange tire at the moment the FK510. Unless they have now moved upmarket?

      That seems to be the current wisdom, yes :)

    Wouldnt have classed Dayton as midrange!
    Where are Falken, uniroyal, and Kumho...

      I'm not sure how they came to their final list! Nokian isn't considered a mid range brand in Finland either, though nordman is their sub-range I believe.

        Nokian Nordman's are "cheap" tires that are made with old Nokian tread-patterns. They are considered mid-range tires here in Finland, although I don't appreciate Nokian tires at all - generally noisy, sloppy handling and miserable wear resistance (Incl. Nokian Hakka Black (Sold in other parts of Europe as Nokian Powerproof), Nokian Hakka Blue and Nokian Hakka Green (Sold in other parts of Europe as Nokian iLine and Nokian Line).
