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
1Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport RS	26.8 m	Best	0 km/h
2Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R	27.2 m	+0.40 m	16 km/h
2Pirelli P Zero Trofeo RS	27.2 m	+0.40 m	16 km/h
4Pirelli P Zero Corsa	29.5 m	+2.70 m	39 km/h
5Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport R	30.5 m	+3.70 m	45 km/h
6Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2	30.9 m	+4.10 m	47 km/h

The difference between best and worst was 15.3% (4.1 m ≈ 0.9 Car Lengths). From 130 km/h, the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 would still be travelling at 47 km/h when the Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport RS had stopped.

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