Sidewall
255 (front), 275 (rear)/35
R19
Strengths
Best in Wet Braking and Handling by a long way; also fastest in Dry tests, including the shortest Wet Braking
Weaknesses
Low resistance to Aquaplaning; relatively high Rolling Resistance
Remarks
Tyre Reviews said the tyre “sets a new benchmark in the wet,” while not compromising in dry performance. It is a fair way off the best tyres in aquaplaning and rolling resistance tests, but these may not be of the greatest concern in this market segment.
