Auto Express did a tyre test here:
http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/accessories-tyres/91856/tyre-reviews-best-car-tyres-2017

Continental was ranked top, whilst Dunlop and Kumho were in the Top 5.

Auto Bild the parent company of Auto Express is based in Germany, no surprise then that all things German appear high up in their tests.........

I did buy some toyo and I am happy with them.... obviously I am not speeding and run my Jazz with a quiet pace but they grip well and I have not concerns in the wet... I read the review of autoexpress and got scared by the Toyo marks... then I search other tyre tests and found different verdicts for the same tyre.... So I am wondering whether the differences between test may depend on personal feelings (in part) and also to the dimension of the tyres that they are testing...

Happy New Year everyone. I've not seen it in this post but a few years ago when I joined there was a lot of criticism regarding Jazz's and road noise, how different tyres are much noisier on the Jazz than others and Michelin ES came out the best compromise for grip, longevity and noise.

I'm thinking about changing to tracks (as in tank tracks) for my Jazz, so I can get across the pot holes without falling in though with the recent rain maybe swapping to a landing craft might be more appropiate

Getting some Vredestein Quatrac 5 all season tyres fitted soon. Hopefully they'll be not too bad in the winter and good in the summer.

For summer the joke about the 4 seasons in Alaska is appropriate. The question is what are the 4 seasons in Alaska? The answer, June, July, August and winter
