good
Ranked #4 of 20
Securing a commendable 4th position among 20 competitors, the GT Radial Sport Active 2 emerged with a "Good" final rating. This tyre impressed with its secure handling on both wet and dry surfaces and was particularly noted for its excellent aquaplaning resistance. Moreover, its competitive pricing contributed to a favorable cost-performance ratio. However, it did show some weaknesses, including moderate lateral grip on wet roads, which is something potential buyers might want to consider. Despite this drawback, the GT Radial Sport Active 2 stands out as a solid choice for drivers seeking reliable performance across various conditions without breaking the bank.

not recommended
Ranked #10 of 11
The GT radial Sport Active 2 finished 10th out of 11 competitors, receiving a final rating of 'Not recommended.' This evaluation was due to its commendable aquaplaning qualities, showcasing superior performance in both cross and longitudinal aquaplaning disciplines. However, its performance was hindered by a low grip level on wet surfaces, moderate lateral support, and understeering during wet handling. Furthermore, it exhibited significantly prolonged wet braking distances alongside a delayed steering response and moderate rolling comfort, all of which contributed to its lower ranking in the competition. Despite its strengths in managing aquaplaning, these drawbacks were pivotal in shaping the overall assessment.
