Not sure where to start?
Our pick of tests in each category.
Before you choose
Start with the right season, tire category and a relevant size. Check the vehicle and test conditions before applying a result to your own car.
A winner is the best fit for that test’s priorities. Compare wet braking, dry grip, comfort and efficiency: the gaps can matter more than the finishing order.
Where full measurements are available, open the charts or adjust the score weighting. Then visit the tire page for other tests and feedback from drivers.
