Not every driver has the same priorities. Adjust the category weightings above to re-rank the tires based on what matters most to your driving style.
Each cell shows a bar comparing the tire to the class leader for that test — a longer bar means stronger performance. Bar colour matches the test category.
The original test ranking is shown in the # column. Arrows indicate how each tire moves when your custom weighting is applied.

    Would love to see more of these HT reviews.
    Especially this little guy.

    Michelin Defender Ltx Platinum
    #10617
    1. TireReviews DRE
      I believe the problem with the Platinum is a very limited size range. It's really for the big stuff. But I'll try to keep doing more of these in the future.

    I have not watched the YouTube video yet, I'm at work. But man, Michelin barely made the recommendation cutoff. Which is wild! I suspect their focus is too much on longevity.

      I agree. I suspect if wear had actually been tested, Michelin would have been very strong there. They also lean into snow quite a lot more than some of the other products, which hurts wet and dry braking in particular which is so important in test score weighting

        A confusing choice by Michelin. No 3 peak rating ( which it would easily qualify for), Guessing to not compete with cross climate. But they are dealing with the tradeoffs of stellar winter performance.
