Tyres tested: 3
Disciplines: 3
Test vehicle: BMW M3 (G80)

Read the measurements, not just the rank

Lower is better for braking distances and lap times; higher is better for subjective scores and aquaplaning speed. Bars start at zero. Read the gap alongside the position: adjacent tyres can be separated by very different margins.

Positions and gaps always refer to the full test field within each group. Selecting tyres does not recalculate rankings or change the best-in-test benchmark.

Dry

Dry Braking
Position / Tyre	Result	Gap to best	Residual speed
1Bridgestone Potenza RE 71RS	30.8 m	Best	0 km/h
2Yokohama Advan A052	32 m	+1.20 m	25 km/h
3Nexen N Fera SUR4G	32.7 m	+1.90 m	31 km/h

The difference between best and worst was 6.2% (1.9 m ≈ 0.4 Car Lengths). From 130 km/h, the Nexen N Fera SUR4G would still be travelling at 31 km/h when the Bridgestone Potenza RE 71RS had stopped.

Residual speed is calculated from the measured braking distances, assuming constant deceleration; it is not a separate measurement.

Dry Handling
Position / Tyre	Result	Gap to best
1Bridgestone Potenza RE 71RS	85.15 s	Best
2Yokohama Advan A052	85.16 s	+0.01 s
3Nexen N Fera SUR4G	86.41 s	+1.26 s

All the tyres in the Dry Handling test finished less than 3% apart.

Wet

Wet Braking
Position / Tyre	Result	Gap to best	Residual speed
1Bridgestone Potenza RE 71RS	27.6 m	Best	0 km/h
2Nexen N Fera SUR4G	28.9 m	+1.30 m	28 km/h
3Yokohama Advan A052	30.7 m	+3.10 m	41 km/h

The difference between best and worst was 11.2% (3.1 m ≈ 0.7 Car Lengths). From 130 km/h, the Yokohama Advan A052 would still be travelling at 41 km/h when the Bridgestone Potenza RE 71RS had stopped.
