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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Auto Bild 2023 | 225/45 R18 | wet asphalt 80→0 km/h | 39.7 m | 49 / 50 | 24.8 m |
| evo 2021 | 225/40 R18 | dry asphalt 100→0 km/h | 41.2 m | 9 / 9 | 33.9 m |
| evo 2021 | 225/40 R18 | wet asphalt 80→20 km/h | 42.9 m | 9 / 9 | 27.0 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.

Frequently asked questions
What is the wet grip class of the Triangle SporteX?
On the EU tyre label, the Triangle SporteX has wet grip class C in every size in our database. A is the best and E the worst. The difference between class A and class E is about 18 m of braking distance from 90 km/h on a wet road.
How long is the braking distance of the Triangle SporteX on a wet road?
According to the Pidurdusmaa.ee calculation, the Triangle SporteX 215/55 R17 stops from 90 km/h on a wet road in about 46 metres (Volkswagen T-Roc II (2025+), without reaction time). The calculation is based on wet grip class C on the EU tyre label.
Has the Triangle SporteX been independently tested?
Yes. Source: Auto Bild 2023. The Triangle SporteX stopped on wet asphalt from 80 km/h in 39.7 m, ranking 49 of 50 tyres.
What sizes is the Triangle SporteX available in?
In the EU tyre register, our database has the Triangle SporteX in 94 sizes, for example 205/40 R17, 205/45 R16, 205/45 R17, 205/50 R16, 205/50 R17 and 215/40 R17. As a main factory size it fits cars such as the Audi A6 C9 (2025+), BMW iX3 NA5 (2025+) and Chery Tiggo 7 (2025+).
