Independence
This site is an independent comparison platform. There is no commissioning or ownership relationship with tire manufacturers. No products are sold. Should affiliate links be used in the future, they will be clearly marked as such.
Test reports and sources
Third-party test reports are summarized exclusively in our own words and always linked to the original source. No text passages are copied. Ratings on the 1–10 scale are editorial assessments; lab measurements stay empty until solid per-tire measurement data exists.
Image rights
Product images and brands belong to their respective manufacturers and are used exclusively for product information. Where no manufacturer images are yet available, neutral placeholder images are used.
Privacy policy
1. Controller
The controller for data processing on this website is hantha GmbH, Dick 48/B, 39058 Sarntal, South Tyrol – Italy. Email: info@mtbtireguide.com.
2. Hosting and server log files
When you visit this website, the hosting provider automatically processes technical access data (IP address, date and time, page accessed, browser type). This data is technically necessary to deliver the website and ensure system security (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
3. User accounts
There is currently no public registration; accounts exist exclusively for the platform's editorial team and administration. Should user accounts (e.g. for favorites or community ratings) be offered in the future, your email address and display name will only be stored for that purpose (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and this policy will be updated accordingly.
4. Cookies
We only use technically necessary cookies or storage entries (e.g. for the editorial login session and your language selection). Google Analytics 4 is used for anonymized usage analysis: in consent regions it loads only after your consent in the cookie banner, outside these regions without a banner. If you decline, no analytics cookie processing takes place.
5. AI advice
In the tire finder you can use AI advice. When you submit it, we transmit your inputs (riding style, e-MTB, terrain, priorities, wheel size and an optional note) to an AI service that generates tire suggestions from them. To limit usage (max. 10 requests per hour) we store a hashed IP value (SHA-256) and the time of the request – this cannot be traced back to a person. Identical requests are served from a cache for up to 24 hours, in which the inputs and the response are stored without any IP link. No profiling takes place and nothing is passed on for advertising purposes. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in a functioning, abuse-free service).
6. Your rights
You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection (Art. 15–21 GDPR). You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
7. External links
This website links to manufacturer pages and external test sources. The respective providers are responsible for their content and data processing.
Liability notice
All information – especially weights, lab and measurement values, editorial ratings, prices and pressure recommendations – is provided without warranty. Lab values come from the linked sources and may vary depending on the test setup. The pressure calculator provides non-binding guidance values only; the manufacturer's specifications and the minimum and maximum values on the tire sidewall always take precedence.
