StrengthsThe Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 stopped shortest on dry roads in both the cold and the warm tests, and was second best in warm wet braking. It was among the fastest on the wet handling course, third best for aquaplaning resistance, and among the quietest tires, with very good cornering grip and the sharpest steering response in the test. ConsiderationsThe Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 was only mid-field in cold wet braking, and Moottori lists comfort as one of its weaknesses. Its rolling resistance was among the higher in the test.

StrengthsThe Hankook Ventus Evo was second fastest on the wet handling course, rated second best for wet handling and second best for aquaplaning resistance. It was also third best for cold wet braking and for dry braking in both temperatures, and it was among the quietest tires. ConsiderationsThe Hankook Ventus Evo was rated the least comfortable tire and had the highest rolling resistance in the test. It managed one of the two lowest speeds in the evasive maneuver, and Moottori found its steering flat and its dry grip slightly below the Continental's.

StrengthsThe Continental PremiumContact 7 was the fastest tire on the wet handling course and was rated best for wet handling, with grip in every direction and a forgiving response to too much steering or throttle. It was also rated joint best for dry handling, stopped second shortest on warm dry roads and was among the best in the evasive maneuver. ConsiderationsThe Continental PremiumContact 7 was only mid-field in straight aquaplaning, in cold wet braking and in cold dry braking. It was also one of the louder tires in the interior noise measurement.

StrengthsThe Nokian Hakka Black 3 stopped shortest in cold wet braking and could be driven through the evasive maneuver faster than any other tire. It was rated joint best for dry handling, tolerating aggressive inputs, and it was third best in warm wet braking. ConsiderationsThe Nokian Hakka Black 3 was among the weakest for aquaplaning resistance and only mid-field on the wet handling course. It was also among the slower stoppers on warm dry roads, and its rolling resistance was mid-field.

StrengthsThe Pirelli Cinturato C3 stopped shortest in warm wet braking and second shortest in cold dry braking. It was among the best in the handling tests, rated third best for wet handling and joint third for dry handling, and was among the best in the evasive maneuver. ConsiderationsThe Pirelli Cinturato C3 was the loudest tire in the test and Moottori found it harsh over rough roads. It was seventh in cold wet braking, below average for aquaplaning resistance, and its rolling resistance was among the highest.

StrengthsThe Michelin Primacy 5 was second best in cold wet braking and had the most pleasant steering feel in the test. It was among the more comfortable tires, had the second lowest rolling resistance and was mid-field for aquaplaning resistance. ConsiderationsThe Michelin Primacy 5 needed the longest dry braking distance of the summer tires in both the cold and the warm tests, and it fell to seventh in warm wet braking. It was also one of the slower tires on the wet handling course.

StrengthsThe Bridgestone Turanza 6 was the quietest and most comfortable tire in the test, and had the lowest rolling resistance. It also stopped well on warm dry roads. ConsiderationsThe Bridgestone Turanza 6 was the first tire to aquaplane and the slowest summer tire on the wet handling course, with the lowest wet handling rating of the summer tires. Moottori found it less sporty than the rest, with an understeering balance, and it was among the slower stoppers in cold dry braking.

StrengthsThe Michelin CrossClimate 3 had the best aquaplaning resistance in the test, helped by its directional tread. It was also rated the second most comfortable tire, was among the quietest and had low rolling resistance. ConsiderationsThe Michelin CrossClimate 3 needed the longest braking distance in every braking test, wet and dry, cold and warm, and its colder-weather compound gave it no advantage in the cold tests. It was also the slowest on the wet handling course, was rated lowest for wet and dry handling, and managed one of the two lowest speeds in the evasive maneuver.

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 39% Real impact 35%
- Wet Weighting 56% Real impact 60%
- Comfort Weighting 5% Real impact 4%
- Subj. Wet Handling counts for 4.5% of the score but creates 10% of the difference between the tires, because their results in it were far apart.
Every discipline 11
| Discipline | Weighting | Real impact |
|---|---|---|
| Dry Braking - Cool | 17.8% | 12% |
| Dry Braking | 17.4% | 16% |
| Subj. Dry Handling | 3.5% | 6% |
| Dry Lane Change | 0.4% | 1% |
| Wet Braking | 15.1% | 16% |
| Wet Braking - Cool | 15.1% | 14% |
| Wet Handling | 15.1% | 11% |
| Subj. Wet Handling | 4.5% | 10% |
| Straight Aqua | 6.2% | 10% |
| Subj. Comfort | 2.5% | 4% |
| Noise | 2.5% | 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.
