Performance Analysis
Drawn from 1 tests. Updated October 28, 2026.
The Aptany RA301 finished 13th of 13 in the 2016 Test World Performance Tire Test, in 225/40 R18. The testers criticised long braking distances and poor handling on both dry and wet roads, so its overall result reflects limitations in the main driving assessments.
Low noise and low rolling resistance were the two positive observations. This is a single test without individual discipline measurements or placings, so it cannot establish the size of those advantages or the braking and handling gaps, and there is no second result to judge consistency.
