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
1Michelin CrossClimate 3 Sport	36.83 m	Best	0 km/h
2Continental AllSeasonContact 2	38.36 m	+1.53 m	26 km/h
3Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen 3	41.24 m	+4.41 m	43 km/h
4Hankook Weatherflex GT	41.98 m	+5.15 m	46 km/h

The difference between best and worst was 14% (5.15 m ≈ 1.1 Car Lengths). From 130 km/h, the Hankook Weatherflex GT would still be travelling at 46 km/h when the Michelin CrossClimate 3 Sport had stopped.

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