Not every driver has the same priorities. Adjust the category weightings above to re-rank the tyres based on what matters most to your driving style.
Each cell shows a bar comparing the tyre 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 tyre moves when your custom weighting is applied.
hmm! your interpretation of 'support' was the one I initially had but it doesn't seem consistent with their remarks on dry grip. My other construal, which fitted a bit with the 'low safety' point, was not just low grip but snappiness and difficult recovery of grip loss. As the intended application is as a wet tyre at the rear of a rear-engined renault, that would concern me.
I'm asking because my 185/60-14 size is obsolescent in Australia & the T001 seemed possibly the best of an unpromising shortlist (as a wet tyre). The other available ones are the Cinturato P1 (not the Verde) & the Yoko C-Drive2. Neither get much of a press as wet tyres (the Verde seems to be an improvement but is unavailable here) but the latest two tests you've published have diminished the T001 in my assessment.
can you clarify cum expand upon the t001 comments that "the tyre seems to have a lack of lateral support" and " low driving safety on wet roads"
Hi 4cvg. Without actually being part of this test, it's hard to fully qualify, but it's probably safe to take the translation at face value, which means the T001 didn't offer great lateral support during cornering (high tyre flex) and low grip in the wet, which is a common complaint of the T001.
