Ranked #4 of 6
4th of 6 competitors, it produced a mixed but broadly competent performance: strongest in wintry, low-grip runs — finishing third across those exercises and only 0.3s off the best lap, showing confident low-speed grip but a tendency to slide in faster sections. Braking from 50mph was two metres longer than the top performer, yet it posted its best handling score on the water-handling circuit, with very effective low-speed cornering but loose behaviour in high-speed sweeps; aquaplaning tests returned third and fourth places. On dry-style assessments it was mid‑pack for stopping and last in handling, feeling scrubby and less agile and needing more input to find the best lines. Rolling resistance was average and measured cabin noise toward the higher end. There were no disciplines listed where it was outright best, and no additional properties flagged as finishing last in the provided data.

4 out of 15 competitors — the tyre proved a clear wet specialist, topping assessments for wet handling, longitudinal and cross aquaplaning and wet braking while also standing out for exterior noise; testers praised its large safety reserves and confident behavior in all weather, but noted above‑average wear. It did not finish last in any measured property.
