I'm surprised by the winner, and most people will probably ignore it claiming braking distances aren't everything, but it's a good indication all the same.

interesting. A 30 metre difference between stopping due to tyres in amazing!

I think I'll be trying out Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 next.

There's actually a WORSE tyre than a linglong!!

Five of them in fact!!

I didn't know Wanli was a real tyre brand, I thought it was a joke tyre that Fox had invented!

It's a great collation of information and should be doing jon-'s advertising revenue a world of good But there's still a large amount of rubber that's still not been tested. The list is heavily skewed towards people who drive from A to B and what the best tyre is for that. I'd like to see some proper tests aimed at driving enthusiasts and bin off the dross and look at what overseas markets get that we don't, but where's the market in that?

Prob come out of the same factory.

I live in hope that a Chinese product researcher comes across 'Ditchfinder' all over the place and then notices it's not Trademarked

I thought exactly the same about Linglong.

Michelin must be a bit upset that there us a Barum and a Nexen above their Primacy That pesky Hankook has popped up right next to the top as well.

A single tyre performance parameter doesn't tell you much about the overall ability; something great at stopping might be woeful under aquaplaning for instance, or it might wear out in no time or be horrifically noisy.

Not surprised about the Nokian, I have heard great reports about that tyre on the continent.

Certainly better than the ZV5's I have on my car right now

Lol Falken. Cheap tyres after all.

 

[BeatMaster]

Glad I purchased a set of Goodyear Eagle F1 AS2

+1 - especially as I know that they can go round corners as well

 

[MikeHiow]

I don't think I could settle for anything less than AD08s on a performance car ever again to be honest.

 

[[TW]Fox]

Would be interested to see comparative performance numbers between AD08 and other tyres.

 

[hurfdurf]

I just got some Toyo Proxy TR-1's fitted, they meant to be any good?

 

[Dave85]

Good to see the rainsport 2 up near the top

Was just thinking this too, track focus tyres in particular like the 595rsr and r888 for example. Would love to know real world tests between those and performance road tyres.

I've never had a problem with them. Certainly a lot better than the Dunlops I did have.

 

[[TW]Fox]

Thats because 99% of the time you press the brake and the car stops. You've never crashed into anything when stopping therefore you've not had a problem. Doesn't stop them being comparatively turd with only the glow of low price to make you feel fuzzy

Got these on the Golf at the moment, I wasn't expecting much from them but they're quite good actually.
