Pirelli Cinturato C3 leads dry braking with the maximum score (100), marginally ahead of Continental PremiumContact 7 (99.2). Davanti Protoura Sport is the worst by a significant margin (84.1, #12), with a clear gap below the rest of the field. Actual lap-based dry handling tells a different story: Maxxis Premitra HP6 posts the fastest dry handling time in the entire test at 72.83 seconds, outpacing every premium brand.
Hankook Ventus Evo records the best wet braking distance in the test at 27.66 m, with Pirelli Cinturato C3 (99.9 score) and Continental PremiumContact 7 (99.7) close behind. The safety-critical finding: Davanti Protoura Sport stops in 34.27 m — a gap of 6.61 m from the best tyre, which at 130 km/h represents approximately 1.47 car lengths of additional stopping distance. Debica Presto UHP2 also underperforms in wet braking (#11, 91.5 score) despite leading curved aquaplaning.
Maxxis Premitra HP6 records the fastest dry handling lap time in the entire test (72.83 seconds, #1 objective score) — outperforming every premium brand including Continental, Pirelli, and Hankook on dry track — yet finishes only 8th overall due to weaker wet confidence and below-average noise. A dry-specialist budget tyre beating premium rivals at their own game.
