Latest sport touring tyre test
Interesting viewing, though I'm naturally skeptical as with all tests it's down to personal opinion

I was happy to see that the T30's I have scored well, though I would have liked to have seen the breakdown of the scoring points for each tyre. I have considered trying a different manufacturer before but I seem to have always stuck with Bridgestone. As some of the comments picked up, there is no scoring based on longevity so I would expect the other tyres to likely outlast the Metzelers.
And then there is the whole "Oh look, Metzeler got 1st and 2nd on a Metzeler sponsored event". Read in to that what you will, I doesn't really bother me as ultimately a leading manufacturer will naturally look to pit themselves up against competition where they believe they will do well, especially with the release of a new product. It doesn't necessarily mean the testing was bad, it just means that the company took an opportune moment to test
