Movement is compared with the default calculation, not the published finishing order. Scores use unrounded totals for ranking.
No ranking for this setup. Give at least one category a positive weight and include a discipline in each active category, or reset the weights.
Filtering never changes the benchmark, scores or positions.

StrengthsThe Michelin CrossClimate 3 Sport posted the shortest dry braking distance, the highest cornering speed and shared the lowest measured noise level. It also took the top subjective scores for ride comfort and handling, behaving predictably at the limit with mild understeer. ConsiderationsThe Michelin is the most expensive tire in the test, around 100,000 KRW per tire more than the cheapest option.

StrengthsThe Continental AllSeasonContact 2 produced the shortest wet braking distance of the test and was within a few percent of the leader in dry braking, cornering and subjective handling. Its wet-weather safety margin is the standout. ConsiderationsThe Continental's coasting distance was the shortest of the four tires, and its ride had some additional low-speed vertical motion that may not suit every driver. It is also the second-most expensive option. Score contributionCategory score × of overall score Dry97.44 × 38% = 37.03 Wet100 × 54% = 54 Comfort98.89 × 8% = 7.91 | |||||||||||||

StrengthsThe Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 was the lightest tire in the test by some margin, tied for the lowest measured noise and recorded the longest coasting distance. It sits in the lower half of the price range. ConsiderationsGoodyear's dry and wet braking distances were both well behind the European leaders, with several meters separating it from the Michelin and Continental. Handling was less linear at the limit, with some off-throttle oversteer.

StrengthsThe Hankook Weatherflex GT is the cheapest tire in the test and scored the best subjective noise rating — its sound character was rated as the least intrusive of the four. ConsiderationsThe Weatherflex GT recorded the longest dry and wet braking distances, the lowest cornering speed and the lowest subjective handling score. AutoView's tester reported quick transitions into oversteer with little warning, and a loss of grip below 59 mph on the steady-state cornering test — behavior the article describes as potentially unsafe for typical drivers.

These are calculated scenarios, not new test awards. The published verdict may reflect judgement, close results and factors outside this calculation.
Not ranked: a measurement needed for these weights is missing. Missing results are not treated as zero or redistributed.
Reference tires provide context only. They do not set the benchmark and cannot win the personalised ranking.
Weighting vs real impact
What decides this ranking
The weighting is how much each category counts. The real impact is how much of the difference between the tires it creates: a discipline in which every tire performed about the same barely changes the order, however much it counts.
No weighting is recorded for this test, so the weighting here starts from Tire Reviews’ season defaults, not from the test’s own scoring.
- Dry Weighting 38% Real impact 22%
- Wet Weighting 54% Real impact 76%
- Comfort Weighting 8% Real impact 2%
- Dry Handling counts for 17.1% of the score but creates only 3% of the difference, because most tires performed about the same in it.
Every discipline 7
| Discipline | Weighting | Real impact |
|---|---|---|
| Dry Braking | 17.5% | 16% |
| Dry Handling | 17.1% | 3% |
| Subj. Dry Handling | 3.4% | 3% |
| Wet Braking | 54% | 76% |
| Subj. Comfort | 2.7% | 2% |
| Subj. Noise | 2.6% | <1% |
| Noise | 2.6% | <1% |
How it is worked out: each discipline’s weighting is multiplied by the spread of its results (the gap across the middle half of the tires, as a percentage of the best result), then shared out so that all the disciplines add up to 100%. It estimates what separates the tires; it is not a second set of weights, and it follows the weights you set.
How your ranking is calculated
Each discipline is scored against the best non-reference tire in the full test field: best ÷ result × 100 when lower is better, or result ÷ best × 100 when higher is better. Discipline scores are rounded to two decimal places, then combined using your weights.
Within-category weights divide that category’s share of the overall score. A 50% wet category and 40% wet-braking share give wet braking 20% of the total. A weight is a scoring priority, not a measure of its actual effect on the ranking: the performance gaps matter too. What decides this ranking ↑
Published joint positions are preserved separately. Calculated positions tie only when their underlying scores match; two displayed scores can look equal after rounding.
A zero weight excludes that category or discipline. At least one active discipline is required, and the disciplines in every active category must have a positive total.
