Lower overall grades are better. Equal rounded grades share a position; the source table and conclusion differ in the order of Continental and Vredestein. Unrounded grades are unavailable.

Noise pairs are shown exactly as published under the 60/80 km/h heading. The lower second readings make the speed labels uncertain, so noise is excluded from calculated scores. Full category grades, comfort scores and mileage data are unavailable. Summer and winter reference tyres remain outside the ranking.
