Read the measurements, not just the rank

Lower is better for braking distances and lap times; higher is better for subjective scores and aquaplaning speed. Bars start at zero. Read the gap alongside the position: adjacent tires can be separated by very different margins.

Positions and gaps always refer to the full test field within each group. Selecting tires does not recalculate rankings or change the best-in-test benchmark.

Dry

Dry Braking
Position / Tire	Result	Gap to best	Residual speed
1Bridgestone Potenza RE 71RS	101 ft	Best	0 mph
2Yokohama Advan A052	105 ft	+4 ft	15 mph
3Nexen N Fera SUR4G	107 ft	+6 ft	19 mph

The difference between best and worst was 6.2% (6 ft ≈ 0.4 Car Lengths). From 80 mph, the Nexen N Fera SUR4G would still be travelling at 19 mph when the Bridgestone Potenza RE 71RS had stopped.

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

Dry Handling
Position / Tire	Result	Gap to best
1Bridgestone Potenza RE 71RS	85.15 s	Best
2Yokohama Advan A052	85.16 s	+0.01 s
3Nexen N Fera SUR4G	86.41 s	+1.26 s

All the tires in the Dry Handling test finished less than 3% apart.

Wet

Wet Braking
Position / Tire	Result	Gap to best	Residual speed
1Bridgestone Potenza RE 71RS	91 ft	Best	0 mph
2Nexen N Fera SUR4G	95 ft	+4 ft	17 mph
3Yokohama Advan A052	101 ft	+10 ft	25 mph

The difference between best and worst was 11.2% (10 ft ≈ 0.7 Car Lengths). From 80 mph, the Yokohama Advan A052 would still be travelling at 25 mph when the Bridgestone Potenza RE 71RS had stopped.
