Best tyres 2014

Choosing tyres has been made easier by compulsory performance labelling, but if you want the full picture on the top tyres to buy, you need this test.

Since 2012, tyre makers have had to test their products for wet grip, rolling resistance (key to fuel economy) and pass-by noise to set criteria, then publish the results in easy-to-grasp labels similar to those seen on fridges and washing machines. Yet here at Auto Express, we look at nine criteria, not three, including the more relevant cabin noise, and show results to a percentage point rather than the labels’ broad bands. http://toplegendarycars.com/best-tyres-2014/
