StrengthsThe Pirelli P Zero Trofeo RS (N0) excels in dry conditions in every curve, tracking perfectly as if on rails. It offers two laps of peak performance in hot laps and significantly more manageable wet handling than the others. It is also the least expensive tire in the group.

StrengthsThe Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 (N0) demonstrates convincingly sporty handling behavior and neutral balance. It offers very high endurance during long runs and good wet performance. ConsiderationsIt exhibits critical behavior during wet braking and has too much braking distance and ABS intervention on dry surfaces.

StrengthsThe Pirelli P Zero Corsa (N0) is the absolute number one in wet handling, performing as well as normal summer tires. It provides good feedback on dry surfaces.

StrengthsThe Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R (N0) is extremely fast with extremely precise turn-in and good feedback on dry surfaces. It provides peak performance, but only for one lap, and has short braking distances. It is also the lightest tire. ConsiderationsIt is very susceptible to pick-up and only offers one lap of full peak performance. It is also the most expensive tire in the test.

StrengthsThe Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport R (N0) has the best wet braking performance of all six tires. It has slightly less responsive steering and is not quite as precise as the other two. ConsiderationsDespite its good wet braking, it fails in wet handling, which can be really dangerous.

StrengthsThe Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport RS (N0) has a wide limit range and good feedback on the first hot lap. It is as fast as the others. ConsiderationsDue to its soft rubber compound, it picked up the most debris during the long run, then exhibited oversteer and understeer.

Leading with these priorities
Pirelli P Zero Trofeo RS
These are calculated scenarios, not new test awards. The published verdict may reflect judgement, close results and factors outside this calculation.
Not ranked: a measurement needed for these weights is missing. Missing results are not treated as zero or redistributed.
Reference tires provide context only. They do not set the benchmark and cannot win the personalised ranking.
Weighting vs real impact
What decides this ranking
The weighting is how much each category counts. The real impact is how much of the difference between the tires it creates: a discipline in which every tire performed about the same barely changes the order, however much it counts.
No weighting is recorded for this test, so the weighting here starts from Tire Reviews’ season defaults, not from the test’s own scoring.
- Dry Weighting 41% Real impact 53%
- Wet Weighting 59% Real impact 47%
- Dry Braking counts for 13.9% of the score but creates 44% of the difference between the tires, because their results in it were far apart.
- Wet Handling counts for 29.5% of the score but creates only 16% of the difference, because most tires performed about the same in it.
Every discipline 5
| Discipline | Weighting | Real impact |
|---|---|---|
| Dry Braking | 13.9% | 44% |
| Dry Handling | 13.5% | 8% |
| Dry Handling Long Run | 13.5% | 1% |
| Wet Braking | 29.5% | 32% |
| Wet Handling | 29.5% | 16% |
How it is worked out: each discipline’s weighting is multiplied by the spread of its results (the gap across the middle half of the tires, as a percentage of the best result), then shared out so that all the disciplines add up to 100%. It estimates what separates the tires; it is not a second set of weights, and it follows the weights you set.
How your ranking is calculated
Each discipline is scored against the best non-reference tire in the full test field: best ÷ result × 100 when lower is better, or result ÷ best × 100 when higher is better. Discipline scores are rounded to two decimal places, then combined using your weights.
Within-category weights divide that category’s share of the overall score. A 50% wet category and 40% wet-braking share give wet braking 20% of the total. A weight is a scoring priority, not a measure of its actual effect on the ranking: the performance gaps matter too. What decides this ranking ↑
Published joint positions are preserved separately. Calculated positions tie only when their underlying scores match; two displayed scores can look equal after rounding.
A zero weight excludes that category or discipline. At least one active discipline is required, and the disciplines in every active category must have a positive total.
