Note:
The overall ranking of a tire may not be the best judge of it's performance capabilities for you.

Look at how each tire performed in the individual performance factors and decide which is the most important for your driving style and needs.
Example:
The number one ranked tire may rate low for tread wear which is your most important consideration when choosing a new tire. But...the number 3 ranked tire may have a better customer rating for tread wear which might make this your better choice.
