Dry

The leading all season tire in the dry shouldn't be a surprise, it was the Michelin CrossClimate 2! Maxxis also out performed the pack, with the Premitra All Season beating the third placed Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2 by nearly 2 meters.

The difference between the best and the worst tire was nearly 10 meters from just 100 km/h or 62 mph.

Wet

The 22c test temperature helped the summer tire to lead in wet conditions, with the Vredestein Quatrac Pro and Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 the best of the rest. The difference between best and worst was 13.7 meters, again from just 100 km/h.
