    Could someone clarify the speed at which the braking tests are done? 80km/h? roughly 50mph?

    Thanks

    Hi, I live in southern Europe where it almost never snows. I have to choose between Nexen 4S, Goodyear AS Gen 2 and Vredestein Quatrac 5.
    I found them basically at the same price, so what do you suggest for our dry and wet climate? (The treadwear is important to me as well).

    P.S. Keep up with the great work :)

      The Vreds seem to have the highest bias towards dry and wet

    Once again Vredestein is close with the top makers... ;)
    Impressed by the Maxxis, we'll see in a few weeks but it looks like an interesting one!

      Quatrac Pro finished 2nd in full test behind CC+. Maxxis finished 7th between Nexen and Kumho and looks good mainly in dry . A005 was 9th infront of Cooper.

        Wow, the full test is already out? Maxxis 7th still looks impressive to me, but owning quatrac5 and having suggested to friends vredestein who are all very pleased with them, at the moment I can only be a fan of them.

          Yes, it was released on Friday.
          Here are overall results.

          There aren´t charts with exact numbers. They are in print version only and later they will be downloadable on autobild website.
          If you don´t speak German language, you can use google translate ;-)

    I´m looking forward how Cooper and Maxxis will manage full test. I still not believe A005. They have to much opposite test results. I prefer Contis so far, due to their wet/slush abilities.

      In Czech auto club test made in 2018 with Skoda Octavia mk3 (it´s not too much cheaper Golf) were A005 last.
      Contis were as reference tires (meaning 100%). First column translation is:

      Overal rating

      Wet
      - ABS braking on tarmac
      - Aquaplaning longitudinal
      - Aquaplaning lateral
      - Wet circle
      - Wet handling

      Dry
      - ABS braking on tarmac
      - Dry handling
      - Dry handling subjective
      - Noise 31 mph
      - Noise 50 mph
      - Rolling resistance

      Snow
      - ABS braking on snow
      - Traction on snow 10-60%
      - Acceleration on snow with ASR on
      - Uphill handling on snow

      Cost for one tire (in Czech Crowns, 1 £ is approx. 29 CZK)
      (there is a print error: A001 is A005)
