Performance Analysis

Across three Auto Bild all-season market overview braking screens (2019-2022), the GT Radial 4Seasons shows consistently weak overall competitiveness, with very low overall placings (average overall position 25.7) and a repeated pattern of bottom-end dry braking performance. This suggests a tire that struggles to match the benchmark stopping performance expected from leading all-season options, particularly in dry emergency stops.

Wet braking is comparatively less poor than dry braking but remains inconsistent: it ranges from mid-pack (2022) to near-bottom results (2019 and 2021). Overall, the data indicates the tire's most defensible area is wet braking relative to its own dry performance, but it does not deliver consistent wet-stopping results across sizes/years.

Performance Strengths

Wet Braking (relative strength vs. own results) Minor Details
• 12th/37 in wet braking in 2022 (51.3 m, +18.5% from best), mid-pack compared with very poor dry braking in same test
• Wet braking deficit sometimes closer to class best than dry: 2021 wet braking +16.6% from best (27th/34) vs dry braking +21.4% (33rd/34)

Performance Weaknesses

Dry Braking Strong Details
• 35th/37 in dry braking in 2022 (49.3 m, +35.1% from best)
• 33rd/34 in dry braking in 2021 (45.3 m, +21.4% from best)
• 30th/31 in dry braking in 2019 (46.5 m, +17.7% from best)
Overall Competitiveness / Test Ranking Strong Details
• Overall position 30th/31 in 2019 all-season performance overview
• Overall position 29th/34 in 2021 all-season market overview
• Overall position only 18th/37 in 2022 market overview despite extremely poor dry braking (35th/37)
Wet Braking Consistency Moderate Details
• 30th/31 in wet braking in 2019 (60.3 m, +30.2% from best)
• 27th/34 in wet braking in 2021 (58.2 m, +16.6% from best), followed by 12th/37 in 2022 (+18.5% from best), indicating unstable ranking across tests/sizes
