Our pick of tests in each category.
Before you choose
Start with the right season, tyre 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.
