I thought as it is the time of year to swap tyres for winter use that it would be good to understand the limitations of different tyre types. I took any of the full test results that Tire Rack has for different classes of Michelin tyres and rated the dry, wet and ice braking performance relative to the best in class of the tyres tested.

The braking performance was chosen as the best comparitor due to having less variables relative to test vehicle, driver, etc. Due to the variability of grip between different types of snow due to crystal structure and temperature, it wasn't included, but Tire Rack do the ice braking testing on an indoor ice rink, so the grip should be fairly consistent for the ice braking tests.
