Independent tests
Measured results. Rank = position in the same test on the same surface (1 = shortest braking distance).
| Test | Surface and speed | Result | Rank | Best |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UTAC / Aftonbladet summer and all-season tyre test 2025 | dry asphalt, 100→5 km/h | 35.2 m | 6 / 14 | 34.2 m |
Test: 225/45 R17. The same tyre may perform slightly differently in another size.
Magazine tests
Published braking distances (Auto Bild, auto motor und sport, Auto Zeitung, ADAC, Za Rulem and others). Rank = position in the same test on the same surface (1 = shortest). The tests use different sizes, cars and conditions, so only compare numbers within the same test.
| Test | Size | Conditions | Result | Rank | Best |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vi Bilägare / Motor (NAF Norway) 2026 | 205/55 R16 | dry asphalt 110→5 km/h | 42.1 m | 2 / 10 | 41.8 m |
| Vi Bilägare / Motor (NAF Norway) 2026 | 205/55 R16 | wet asphalt 100→5 km/h | 36.6 m | 3 / 10 | 35.4 m |
| Auto Bild 2025 | 225/40 R18 | dry asphalt 100→0 km/h | 33.0 m | 2 / 52 | 32.6 m |
| Auto Bild 2025 | 225/40 R18 | wet asphalt 80→0 km/h | 29.5 m | 10 / 52 | 27.4 m |
The calculation on this page does not use these results: our check showed that a test in another size does not predict wet braking better than the EU label for your size. They are shown here as measured facts.
