Interesting that the difference between 1st to last is around 10% for most of those tests. The one they didn't do was 0-100 dry, and 0-100 wet. Given the small performance difference for a huge difference in price, I reckon you'd have to be happy, on the street, with any of those tyres, even the cheaper ones.
