A dry-road specialist with track-day ambitions. The Supersport delivers incredible dry grip and handling precision, but it pays for that with weak wet performance, high noise, and the worst rolling resistance in test. A tyre for sunny weekends, not rainy commutes.

Pros & Cons
Strengths
Outstanding dry performance with precise, sporty handling, excellent grip, and short braking distances, providing high safety reserves.
Direct and responsive steering with a wide, confidence-inspiring limit and neutral to mildly understeering balance, making for predictable and controllable handling.
Good overall comfort despite sporty characteristics.
Weaknesses
Poor wet performance with low grip, significantly longer braking distances, and low aquaplaning resistance.
High rolling resistance, which may negatively impact fuel efficiency.
Noisier than competitors, with lower comfort levels on rough surfaces.
Reduced braking performance and lane stability at everyday temperatures, especially under hard braking.
