Performance Analysis

Gripmax SuperGrip Pro Sport - Official Image

Across three summer tests the Gripmax SuperGrip Pro Sport shows a consistent pattern of weak safety-critical wet braking and generally low overall competitiveness, frequently placing in the lower half of large-field tests and last in a small UUHP group. Its wet braking deficit is repeatedly large versus the best tire, which would materially affect real-world emergency stopping distances and overall wet safety confidence.

The tire's main positives are efficiency-focused results (very low rolling resistance) and decent comfort metrics (low noise), plus comparatively competitive straight-line aquaplaning resistance in the UUHP test. Dry performance is mixed: dry braking ranges from mid-pack in a large test to last in the UUHP test, suggesting limited headroom when pushed in higher-performance fitments and test conditions.

Performance Strengths
  • Efficiency (Rolling Resistance) Strong
    • 1st place rolling resistance (8 kg/t) in 2025 Autobild Sports Cars UUHP test (1/7)
    • Despite poor overall (7/7) in 2025 UUHP test, it still led the field on rolling resistance (1/7), indicating a clear tuning priority toward low energy loss
  • Noise / Comfort Moderate
    • 2nd place noise (72.6 dB) in 2025 Autobild Sports Cars UUHP test (2/7, +0.8% from best)
  • Straight-line Aquaplaning Resistance Minor
    • 4th place straight aquaplaning in 2025 Autobild Sports Cars UUHP test (4/7, +1.4% from best)
Performance Weaknesses
  • Wet Braking / Wet Safety Strong
    • 39th of 50 in wet braking in 2026 Summer Braking Super Tire Test (33.2 m, +31.7% from best)
    • 7th of 7 in wet braking in 2025 Autobild Sports Cars UUHP test (54.9 m, +25.6% from best)
    • 31st of 48 in wet braking in 2023 Summer Tire Market Overview (30.0 m, +21% from best)
  • Overall Competitive Performance (Handling & Balance) Strong
    • Last overall in 2025 Autobild Sports Cars UUHP test (7/7) with last-place wet handling (7/7, +4.4% from best) and last-place dry handling (7/7, +4.1% from best)
    • Lower-half overall in large-field tests: 33/50 in 2026 and 28/48 in 2023, indicating repeated difficulty competing beyond budget-tier efficiency metrics
  • Dry Braking Consistency Moderate
    • Last in dry braking in 2025 Autobild Sports Cars UUHP test (7/7, 36.5 m, +17% from best)
    • Only mid-pack dry braking in 2026 (28/50, 36.8 m, +12.2% from best) and 2023 (16/48, 35.4 m, +6.6% from best), showing uneven dry stopping competitiveness across tests
  • Curved Aquaplaning / Lateral Water Performance Moderate
    • 6th of 7 in curved aquaplaning in 2025 Autobild Sports Cars UUHP test (1.98 m/sec², +6.6% from best)
    • Wet circle grip also low in 2025 (7/7, 11.69 s, +7.9% from best), supporting limited lateral wet capability
