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
1Michelin CrossClimate 3 Sport	121 ft	Best	0 mph
2Continental AllSeasonContact 2	126 ft	+5 ft	16 mph
3Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen 3	135 ft	+14 ft	26 mph
4Hankook Weatherflex GT	138 ft	+17 ft	28 mph

The difference between best and worst was 14% (17 ft ≈ 1.1 Car Lengths). From 80 mph, the Hankook Weatherflex GT would still be travelling at 28 mph when the Michelin CrossClimate 3 Sport had stopped.

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