A fixed curve turns the combined figure into the 0 to 10 score, so roughly the top 10% of a group score 9 or more.

Category by category

How it compares with other all-season tyres in each area, and how much each area counts. 50 is the middle of the group.

DryBraking and handling on dry roads 42% 40% 2

Faded bars rest on one or two tests. This tyre does not carry the 3PMSF snowflake mark, so Snow counts for less and Ice not at all against all-season tyres that do.

Is Expensive Better? 2026 AutoView Korean All-Season Tyre Test P9 of 9

The Nexen Primus AS T1 finished last overall. Its price and weight advantages are real, but the poor wet braking and limited high-speed control outweigh them for a tyre that has to keep a family safe in the rain.

Weak: Subj. Dry Handling, Wet Braking Winner: Kumho Majesty X Solus
