StrengthsThe Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season made the strongest impression on the road, with the quietest and most comfortable ride in the group and the most natural, best-weighted steering of any tyre here. On the dry track it posted the quickest lap and was genuinely enjoyable to drive, with predictable braking, usable lift-off response and enough natural rotation to feel fun without demanding delicate inputs. A composed, confidence-inspiring all-rounder. ConsiderationsThe Eagle F1 All Season is not the outright grip leader. Its dry and wet braking only landed mid-pack, and on the wet track the drivers wanted more stopping power - it was a little too easy to run deep into braking zones and slow to recover. Peak cornering grip also sat behind the sharpest tyre in the test, so while it was easy to drive quickly it never felt like the most planted option at the limit.

StrengthsThe Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus was one of the best tyres in the wet, with the shortest wet braking in the test and a graceful, well-rounded balance that let the driver place the car freely. On the road it behaved like a proper performance product, with well-controlled noise, good damping and steering that was natural, precise and nicely matched to the car. A consistent, dependable performer everywhere. ConsiderationsThe ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus rarely topped any single dry category outright, sitting just behind the sharpest tyres for dry lap time and cornering grip. Its steering response could be a touch quicker, and once the track dried it came across as slightly less polished than it had felt in the wet. These are small criticisms of an otherwise complete tyre. Score contributionCategory score × of overall score Dry98.18 × 38% = 37.31 Wet99.45 × 54% = 53.7 Comfort95.05 × 8% = 7.6 | ||||||||||||||

StrengthsThe Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 was the objective grip leader of the test, recording the shortest dry braking, the highest dry cornering grip and the quickest wet lap. It felt athletic and sharp, with quick turn-in and strong outright pace - when the driver found the right window in the wet it flowed around the track as if on rails. ConsiderationsThe Pilot Sport All Season 4 was the noisiest tyre here and rated lowest of the group for on-road feel, with a higher noise floor than its rivals. At the limit it leaned into heavy understeer rather than a sharp, adjustable breakaway, which could be frustrating on the BMW. The recurring theme was that its performance was ultimately better measured than it felt to drive.

StrengthsThe Bridgestone Potenza Sport AS is a capable all-rounder that handled tidily on track, blending combined inputs well with steering response that felt appropriate to its grip. Its lower limits made the car easy to rotate and glide through corners on a closed circuit, and in isolation none of its numbers were wildly off the leaders. ConsiderationsThe Potenza Sport AS was limited by its available traction, recording the longest dry and wet braking of the four and the slowest laps in both conditions. On the road it felt firm and choppy, letting through more texture and road noise than the leaders, with a stiffness that produced excess motion and rebound over smaller bumps.

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 38% Real impact 21%
- Wet Weighting 54% Real impact 52%
- Comfort Weighting 8% Real impact 26%
- Subj. Noise counts for 4% of the score but creates 18% of the difference between the tyres, because their results in it were far apart.
- Wet Handling counts for 27% of the score but creates only 14% of the difference, because most tyres performed about the same in it.
Every discipline 8
| Discipline | Weighting | Real impact |
|---|---|---|
| Dry Braking | 12.8% | 8% |
| Dry Handling | 12.4% | 5% |
| Dry Circle | 12.4% | 8% |
| Subj. Road Score | 0.4% | 1% |
| Wet Braking | 27% | 38% |
| Wet Handling | 27% | 14% |
| Subj. Comfort | 4% | 8% |
| Subj. Noise | 4% | 18% |
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.
