Performance Analysis

Across six summer tests, the GT Radial FE2 delivers mid-pack overall performance with consistent value and decent comfort, but is limited by below-average wet and dry braking. Handling pace is typically mid-to-lower midfield, though subjective dynamics are praised for predictability. Aquaplaning resistance is mixed-to-below average, and rolling resistance is unimpressive. Wear and pricing/value are recurrent bright spots, helping its cost-per-km appeal despite braking deficits.
