Tire Reviews Tire Tests

Following on from the 53 tire wet and dry braking shootout, Auto Bild have tested the top 18 tires more thoroughly, putting them through the usual mix of wet, dry, wear and NVH tests in 185/60 R15 on a VW Polo.

 With over two hundred different tires available for the chosen 225/50 R17 tire size, Auto Motor Und Sport decided to pick the top nine best European label scoring tires to test on their Mercedes C Class, presuming they would be getting the top nine tires on the market. 

For the 2015 ultra high performance tire test, Auto Bild have chosen the new BMW M4, wearing 275/35 R19 rear and 255/35 R19 fronts. While this limits the amount of tires available to test to just seven, it is a very good test car as the M4 is the benchmark for the current breed of big-wheeled super-saloons!

Test World this year again tested a range of 205/55 R16 tires, including a mix of premium, mid-range and budget brands. 

The 2015 Auto Zeitung summer ultra high performance tire test is here, and once again the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 is back on the top step!

The 2015 European tire test by the German organisations ADAC and Stiftung Warentest is here, and this time it's a little more interesting than usual. Read on for the full details!

Here at TireReviews we always get excited when EVO publish a tire test. Normally tire tests focus on raw numbers, dedicating pages to telling you which tire has 0.1% more grip, but forgetting to mention how the tires actually feel on the car.

Conversely EVO spend plenty of time, and dedicate 60% of the overall result, to subjective handling. With the difference in grip between the best tires on the market ever shrinking, explaining how the tires actually feel to use give people who enjoy driving a good reference point. This years test was carried out at the Bridgestone test track in Italy, on a VW Golf GTI wearing 225/45 R17 tires.

The 2014 Auto Express Summer Tire Test is here, and it is closer than ever! Testing 10 tires in 205/55 R16, Auto Express put the tires through the usual array of nine stringent tests in the dry and wet.

Following on from the 255/40 R19 tire test, the Russian magazine Auto Review have tested 16 tires in the far more common 205/55 R16. The twist this year is the inclusion of what Auto Review call "second line tires", which are mid range brands which are manufactured by the premium brands. 

A 444bhp Mustang Boss 302 might not be the last word in car dynamics, but it's what the Russian magazine Auto Review have chosen to use for their 2014 Max Performance tire test. Wearing massive 255/40 R19 front tires, and 285/35 R19 rears, this was never going to be an "ordinary" tire test, and the inclusion of a drifting test only highlighted the testers were out to have fun driving while getting their data.
