StrengthsThe Continental TerrainContact HT was the most capable tyre on the dry track, sharing the shortest dry braking distance and generating the highest cornering grip, and it set the fastest wet lap with wet braking and wet cornering grip close to the best. Tire Rack's drivers praised its precise, well-weighted steering, which felt almost sporty next to the rest of the group. ConsiderationsOn the road it rode more firmly than most, with harsher large impacts and more road noise than the quietest tyres, and its real-world road score sat in the middle of the group. It was mid-pack on the snow handling lap, where the drivers noted a delayed steering response and a rear that was quick to step out.

StrengthsThe Bridgestone Dueler LX shared the shortest wet braking distance, generated the most cornering grip in the wet and set the second fastest wet lap, and it was the quickest tyre around the snow handling course. Tire Rack's drivers found it alert and reactive on the wet track and composed through the emergency lane change, and its noise control on the road was among the best. ConsiderationsIts dry braking was only mid-field, and on the road its steering felt slow, needing more input than most to get the same response. The ride also picked up small, repetitive imperfections, leaving its real-world road score in the middle of the group.

StrengthsThe Michelin Defender LTX MS2 was third quickest around the snow handling course, had some of the highest dry cornering grip in the test and shared the third best real-world road score, with noise well controlled. Tire Rack's drivers found usable traction on the wet track and no single serious weakness across the test. ConsiderationsIt had the longest dry braking distance in the test and wet braking towards the back of the group. Its steering felt sluggish on the wet track and slow to respond in the emergency lane change, which it cleared only about half the time. Score contributionCategory score × of overall score Dry95.78 × 30% = 28.74 Wet94.22 × 41% = 38.63 Snow97.42 × 29% = 28.25 | |||||||||||||

StrengthsThe General Grabber HT shared the shortest dry braking distance, had among the shortest wet braking distances and set the third fastest wet lap with the third highest wet cornering grip. It shared the third best real-world road score, with Tire Rack's drivers singling out its solid, precise steering, and it felt tidy and drama-free on the wet track. ConsiderationsIts dry cornering grip was among the lowest in the test, and once past its limit on the dry track it pushed into understeer that made the emergency lane change hard to complete. It was also in the lower half of the snow handling times. Score contributionCategory score × of overall score Dry98.02 × 30% = 29.41 Wet97.53 × 41% = 39.99 Snow91.35 × 29% = 26.49 | |||||||||||||

StrengthsThe Vredestein Pinza HT shared the best real-world road score, with Tire Rack's drivers praising the best impact cushioning in the group and lively, direct steering. It was also second quickest around the snow handling course, where the drivers found it balanced and easy to control at the limit. ConsiderationsGrip on hard surfaces was the weakness. It had the longest wet braking distance in the test and was among the longest in the dry, and it sat in the bottom third for wet lap time and for cornering grip on both wet and dry surfaces. Score contributionCategory score × of overall score Dry95.17 × 30% = 28.55 Wet91.94 × 41% = 37.69 Snow99.62 × 29% = 28.89 | |||||||||||||

StrengthsThe Goodyear Wrangler Steadfast HT shared the best real-world road score, with Tire Rack's drivers rating it one of the quietest tyres in the test and finding its steering responsive and direct. It also had the third shortest dry braking distance and was fifth on wet braking, not far behind the leaders. ConsiderationsIt struggled when pushed on the dry track, where heavy understeer meant it rarely cleared the emergency lane change, and its dry cornering grip was among the lowest. It was also one of the slowest tyres around the snow handling course, where the drivers found it hard to keep in line.

StrengthsThe Goodyear Wrangler Workhorse HT shared the shortest wet braking distance and had the fourth shortest dry braking distance. On the road it steered responsively, kept noise generally under control and cleared the emergency lane change most of the time. ConsiderationsIts wet handling did not match its braking. It had the lowest wet cornering grip and the second slowest wet lap, with Tire Rack's drivers finding it slow to steer and quick to spin up under power. It was also the slowest tyre around the snow handling course. Score contributionCategory score × of overall score Dry97.54 × 30% = 29.26 Wet94.66 × 41% = 38.81 Snow85.44 × 29% = 24.78 | |||||||||||||

StrengthsThe Firestone Destination LE3 was fourth quickest around the snow handling course and its wet cornering grip was mid-field. Tire Rack's drivers liked how well it cushioned impacts on the road and found its noise control above average. ConsiderationsIt had the second lowest real-world road score, with loose, imprecise steering, and on the wet track it lost grip easily and was slow to recover, with wet braking towards the back of the group. In the dry it had among the lowest cornering grip and cleared the emergency lane change only about half the time. Score contributionCategory score × of overall score Dry96.49 × 30% = 28.95 Wet93.73 × 41% = 38.43 Snow94.96 × 29% = 27.54 | |||||||||||||

StrengthsThe Kumho Crugen HT51 was at its best on the dry track, sharing the second highest cornering grip in the test, with a progressive breakaway at the limit that let it clear the emergency lane change every time. ConsiderationsIt had the lowest real-world road score, with Tire Rack's drivers noting a firm ride and more noise than most, and it set the slowest wet lap with wet braking among the longest in the group. It was also one of the slowest tyres around the snow handling course.

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 tyres 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 tyres it creates: a discipline in which every tyre 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 Tyre Reviews’ season defaults, not from the test’s own scoring.
- Dry Weighting 30% Real impact 18%
- Wet Weighting 41% Real impact 32%
- Snow Weighting 29% Real impact 50%
- Snow Handling counts for 29% of the score but creates 50% of the difference between the tyres, because their results in it were far apart.
- Wet Handling counts for 13.5% of the score but creates only 5% of the difference, because most tyres performed about the same in it.
Every discipline 7
| Discipline | Weighting | Real impact |
|---|---|---|
| Dry Braking | 14.9% | 12% |
| Dry Circle | 14.9% | 6% |
| Subj. Road Score | 0.3% | <1% |
| Wet Braking | 13.9% | 17% |
| Wet Handling | 13.5% | 5% |
| Wet Circle | 13.5% | 10% |
| Snow Handling | 29% | 50% |
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 tyres, as a percentage of the best result), then shared out so that all the disciplines add up to 100%. It estimates what separates the tyres; 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 tyre 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.
