Hi is there any test data available which can compare various tyre models and manufacturers. Im in need of 4 new tyres for a mazda atenza sports hatch 2008 z with 225/45/r18.

if there is no literature or test comparisons could you please recommend some tyre options. a tyre store has suggested bridgestone potenza or hankook 415k but they dont really have any test data just marketing material.

are you able to provide any help?

Thanks

Hi there,
Consumer NZ has carried out various tyre tests which you can see if you subscribe. https://consumer.org.nz/products/car-tyres
Popular tyre brands known in NZ should be able to suggest the best tyres for your vehicle type and to suit a budget. From entry level Supercats (Bridgestone/Firestone) to more rotational/ directional performance based tyres.
