    Thanks for this. I need a set of 185/60/15’s for my Audi A2, a car that transmits tire / road noise into the cabin and can give quite large variations in fuel consumption depending on tire choice.

    All things considered, I’ve gone for your test winner Michelins- I’m hoping that in such a light car the wear I’ll get out of them before performance drops off unacceptably will justify their price.

    How would you rank them by comfort? I'm a little confused... Michelin Primacy 4 was always said to be one of the most confort tires,and maybe Nokian too,but here is nothing told about that neither in Pros or Cons..
    I'm about to buy this size for my Nissan Note 2nd gen. but it's a little too hard on poor serbian roads,but i wouls keep these nice 16" rims,so i would choose by comfort level primarly.

    Another great example that the 'same tire' ain't the same in different sizes. Winner in one size can loose a few points in another one. Still, usually the differences between the leading models in various sizes aren't worrying. More like, interesting to see ;) Nicely done Primacy 4! In other recent tests more like 'comfy, all-round, not excelling in any category' and here - clear winner. Goodyear EGP2 - winner in the most popular size, here close behind. So many conditions play some role in those tests, but still - a good tire is a good tire :) Thanks for sharing another fresh test results!

      It's a really fascinating year for tire testing, there's some super interesting results appearing as more are published!

    Is the tire size of this test the 195/65 R15 or the 195/55 R15 (the one we can see bellow the tires photos)? The website's search engine can't even find the prices for 5 of the them. Jonathan, you probably typed the size incorrectly.

      You may have a point, it was actually 195/55 R16! all updated now, thank you.

        It was the H speed category tested, could be useful to add.

          Some were V, it's listed under each tire picture :)
