Performance Analysis

Across three independent summer tire tests, the Lassa DriveWays consistently finishes near the bottom of large group comparisons (average overall position 46.3), driven primarily by very weak braking performance-especially in the wet-where it repeatedly ranks in the bottom tier with large percentage deficits to the class leader. Dry braking is also consistently below average, keeping it from progressing in market-overview style elimination tests focused on braking.

The main standout positive is efficiency: in the 2023 ADAC test it delivered an excellent fuel consumption result (3rd/50, only +1.8% from best). However, this advantage is not enough to offset the repeated safety-critical shortfalls (wet/dry braking) and poor economic metrics in the same ADAC dataset (price/value and wear-related measures).

Performance Strengths

Fuel Efficiency / Rolling Resistance Strong Details
• 3rd place fuel consumption in 2023 ADAC Summer Tire Test (5.6 l/100km), just +1.8% from best
• Efficiency result contrasts strongly with overall ranking (46th/50 in 2023 ADAC), indicating a clear single-area strength
Aquaplaning Resistance (Straight-line) Minor Details
• 25th place straight aquaplaning in 2023 ADAC (80.7 km/h), only +6.9% from best (mid-pack)
• Better relative showing than wet braking in the same test (45th/50, +34.9% from best)

Performance Weaknesses

Wet Braking / Wet Safety Strong Details
• 46th/55 wet braking in 2024 Auto Bild (+34.5% from best)
• 45th/50 wet braking in 2023 ADAC (46.4 m, +34.9% from best) and 42nd/50 on wet braking concrete (+25.3% from best)
• 41st/44 wet braking in 2022 Auto Bild (+26.9% from best)
Dry Braking Strong Details
• 43rd/55 dry braking in 2024 Auto Bild (39.5 m, +11.6% from best)
• 41st/50 dry braking in 2023 ADAC (40.2 m, +12% from best)
• 33rd/44 dry braking in 2022 Auto Bild (39.0 m, +9.2% from best)
Value / Price Competitiveness Moderate Details
• 45th/50 value metric in 2023 ADAC (2.91 price/1000), +182.5% from best
• 41st/50 price in 2023 ADAC (98), +117.8% from best
Wear / Environmental Abrasion Metrics Moderate Details
• 36th/50 wear in 2023 ADAC (33,700 km), +52.9% from best
• 26th/50 abrasion in 2023 ADAC (76.1 mg/km/t), +118.7% from best
Noise / Refinement Minor Details
• 44th/50 noise in 2023 ADAC (72.3 dB), +4.6% from best
• Overall placements remain bottom-tier across tests (48th/55 in 2024 Auto Bild; 45th/44 in 2022 Auto Bild), suggesting limited refinement competitiveness
