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.
Any thoughts on why ice traction is ~2x better than dedicated snow tires? This seems an anomalous result, particularly given that ice braking is worse.
Is it due to the limitations of the ice tunnel which you note?
I didn't have a winter tyre in the ice testing, why do you think the AT is twice as good?
Thanks for rapid response; are distances not comparable across tests? https://www.tyrereviews.com...
oops... times, not distances
Sadly not, they might have used different speeds to measure, and the grip of ice can varely massively hour to hour, let alone between different locations at different times.
Ah, got it... thanks.
I have been searching for a winter test of the new pirelli scorpion xtm and can't find one. I can hardly find any real world on/off road tests since it's release. Any chance you will be able to get a set of the xtms to test
Yes I'll be doing a full test of it next year.
