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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Test: 205/55 R16. 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.

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.
