Interesting tyre-test

[orangecurry]

This one caught my eye...

It's just a way of narrowing down from 50 tyres to 15 tyres for a proper test, but this was braking in a straight line from 60mph.

the best tyre (Nokian Z G2) stopped in just 44 meters in the wet from 100kph, while the worst tyre on test, the Rockstone F105, required nearly 28 metres further to stop at 71.7 metres!

Unsurprisingly the table was rounded out exclusively by tyres from the far east, again showing at the budget end of the market you really do get what you pay for.

I must get me a set of them-there Hankooks - I never thought I'd say that but they score well in every test!
