2015 AZ 225/40 R18 Summer Tyre Test

+High traction, good lateral support and braking on wet surfaces, short braking distances and high level of safety in the dry, low rolling resistance

+Very short braking distances, excellent handling and predictable behavior at the limit of grip on wet surfaces, Good handling and safe execution of the emergency maneuver in the dry

+Good handling when cornering on wet surface, High resistance to aquaplaning, Low rolling resistance, Good results in the dry

−Longer braking on wet surfaces, high noise levels

+Short braking distances on wet surfaces, short braking distance on dry roads, low rolling resistance

−Slow response to steering and a tendency to understeer in the dry

+Good braking on dry and wet surfaces, low rolling resistance

−Lack of agility and lateral stability in the wet, tendency to oversteer in the dry

+Predictable behavior with a tendency to understeer in the wet, effective braking on wet surface, good handling on dry roads, best time slalom in the dry

+Good traction on wet roads, high speed, good security and straight steering response on dry road, low rolling resistance

−Relatively long braking distances on wet surfaces

+Balanced behavior, good lateral stability of the front wheels and acceptable braking properties on wet surface, good lap time and high grip on dry surfaces

−High rolling resistance

+Good resistance to aquaplaning, good lateral stability and late transition to understeer in the wet, stable handling on dry roads

−Relatively long braking distances on wet surfaces, high rolling resistance

+Good dry braking, low rolling resistance

−Poor handling and a relatively long braking distances on wet surfaces, tendency to oversteer in the dry

+Good lateral grip on the front axle on a dry surface, short braking distance on dry roads

−Nervous behavior and long braking distances on wet roads, tendency to oversteer in the dry

+Low rolling resistance

−Long braking distances on wet surfaces - a clear tendency to understeer and long braking distances on dry roads

−Long stopping distances, remarkable tendency to oversteer and low speed cornering on wet surfaces, low traction and braking in the dry

+Low rolling resistance

−Nervous handling on the rear axle, and the longest braking distances on wet surfaces, poor resistance to aquaplaning, long braking distances and very early transition to understeer in the dry
