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.

    strange results: Conti SC7 on place 8 out of 9. Kumho was tested bad in wet here, but in other test ("Die Reifentester") it was the best....also Asym6 with bad results here, but usually number 1-3 in other tests

      Agreed, bit of an odd one but that sometimes happens in testing (though rarely to this degree!)
