2025 Sports Cars Tire Test P7 of 8

This budget tire performed surprisingly well in aquaplaning tests, matching or exceeding some premium brands. It also delivered decent wet handling at the level of premium tires and featured good rolling resistance. Its major weakness was in wet braking, where it needed about 33 feet more stopping distance than the best tire in the test. Manufactured in China.

Performance Analysis

Drawn from 2 tests. Updated June 8, 2026.

The Triangle EffeXSport shows a clear pattern of weak overall competitiveness in both 2025 summer UHP tests, finishing 7th of 8 and 9th of 10 for an average overall position of 8. Its main dynamic performance metrics are consistently near the bottom, particularly braking and handling in both dry and wet conditions, with article commentary highlighting significantly reduced dry performance and concerning deficiencies.

Its standout positive area is aquaplaning resistance, where it achieved two 1st places in the Sports Cars test and remained relatively close to the best in straight aquaplaning in the AZ test. However, this does not offset major deficits in wet grip, dry grip, wear, abrasion, and rolling resistance, making the tire a poor all-round performer despite some comfort, noise, and value positives.

2025 AZ Summer Tire Test

Auto Zeitung 225/45 R18

On dry roads, the Triangle exhibits low grip levels with vague steering feel and significantly longer braking distances. Wet performance is concerning, with poor braking, uncertain handling, and nervous response to load changes. Despite offering acceptable aquaplaning resistance, overall wet safety is compromised. The Chinese budget tire suffers from rapid wear and short life expectancy, negating much of its price advantage over time. The Triangle demonstrates why focusing solely on purchase price can be misleading – its safety compromises and poor longevity make it difficult to recommend even at its lower price point.
