There's a lot of tyres in the 2018 Auto Bild 195/65 R15 test, so we'll keep the intro as short as possible and let the data do the talking. It's worth keeping in mind, the twenty tyres chosen for this test have been thro...
The latest trend of combining two tyre tests into a single result seems to be continuing, with the brilliant German publication Sport Auto combining six ultra high performance tyres and three track day tyres into a singl...

While studded tyres aren't suitable for the UK climate, they are the best way of staying mobile in extreme winter conditions. Each tyre can have hundreds of studs, which bite into ice with far more grip than a studless f...
We're a little bit late with this one, as it's likely the UK has had most of its bad weather for winter 2017/18, however we can't resist covering a winter ultra high performance tyre test, especially when they use a RWD...

Not sure where to start?
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.
