Performance profile

Their shared test recorded too few of the same measurements to chart, so the chart starts from each tire's Tire Reviews Score categories: its whole record, not the shared test.

Point at or tap any spoke for both tires' figures.

Category scores are percentiles among tires of the same season and class: 90 means this tire out-performs 90% of them, measured across every test we hold, not only the ones it appeared in.

Every measurement, side by side

Both tires' figures from the one test that ran them together, on the same car, in the same size, on the same day. The bar grows towards the tire that did better.

Measurement Medallion All Season ACP1 Gap Grip Master 4S
Dry Grip Master 4S ahead
Dry Braking ft 145 6.6% 135
Wet Grip Master 4S ahead
Wet Braking ft 178 2.6% 174

Braking distances and lap times are better when lower; speeds, wear and grip figures when higher. A test's figures are its own: sizes, cars, surfaces and temperatures differ from one to the next, which is why the averages here are only ever of tests the two tires shared.

Head to head in 1 test in 2023

Each row is one published test in which both tires ran on the same car, in the same size, on the same day. The line is the whole field, winner on the left.

Where this data comes from

Finishing positions and measurements are transcribed from each published test. A test only counts here when both tires ran in it, so every figure was recorded on the same car, size and day as the one it is compared to.

About the TR Score

The Tire Reviews Score rates each tire out of 10 from every independent test result and vetted owner review we hold, so two tires can be compared even before a test has run them together.

Who does the testing

Every test published as a Tire Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tires independently since 2007.
