Although it’s a summer test, there is no dry breaking and cornering data.
Yeah, adac don't publish it for some reason. They definitely do it though, you can see on their site they have a dry score.
Dry braking and other data is available by clicking on the tire within the ranking.
Biggest surprise for me is the Bridgestone. Many other tests devaluate the Potenza Sport because of its high wear and overheating when driven hard, but they don't even mention it (but they do mention it on other tires). Is it possible that Bridgestone improved the tire compound? I can hardly imagine that so many (including TireReviews) did notice this, but ADAC did not. Very strange.
Btw., here is the direct link to the test: https://www.adac.de/rund-ums-fahrzeug/ausstattung-technik-zubehoer/reifen/reifentest/sommerreifen/225-40-r18/
Yes sorry they do have dry braking, I'll check why it's not displayed on this article, but no dry handling times sadly.
Also yes I agree the Bridgestone is very unusual, perhaps it is a new compound. The https://www.tyrereviews.com/Tyre-Tests/2025-AZ-Summer-Tyre-Test.htm test in 225/45 R18 had the Bridgestone where we would expect it based on historic results.
