The difference between best and worst was 19.3% (22 ft ≈ 1.5 Car Lengths). From 80 mph, the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen 3 would still be travelling at 32 mph when the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 had stopped.

Residual speed is calculated from the measured braking distances, assuming constant deceleration; it is not a separate measurement.

Set my vehicle consumption

Estimates based on typical driving conditions. Rolling resistance accounts for approximately 20% of IC vehicle fuel consumption and 25% of EV energy consumption. Actual savings vary based on driving style, vehicle weight, road conditions, and tire age. For comparative purposes only. Lifetime savings based on a 40,000km / 25,000 mile tread life.
