new tyre test results:

following RR test values/numbers are from ADAC tire test: size is 185/60/R14

the lower the number, better the RR:
Value
Michelin energy saver 2,0 VR
Hankook optimo k415 2,0 rwr
Continental premiun contact 2 2,1 VR
Goodyear duragrip 2,1 R
Dunlop sp sport fast response 2,1 R
Fulda carat progresso 2,2 VR

Those are the tires which are good in rr and arent very bad in other tire test sectors.

VR=very recommendable
R=recommedable
RwR= Recommadable with regards

From these tires I would pick goodyeat duragrip or dunlop, because tyrewearwas as small as Michelin energysaver. In other tires the number were twice as much or more!
