2025 Motor Low Rolling Resistance (AA) Tyre Test P7 of 7

The Prinx XLAB Comfort EV significantly underperforms across most test categories, raising serious safety concerns particularly in wet conditions. Its wet braking distance (68.7 meters) is nearly 37% longer than the test-winning Continental, representing a potentially dangerous performance deficit. The Chinese tyre also records the slowest wet handling time (94 seconds) and poorest wet circle grip. Despite its "Comfort EV" naming suggesting energy efficiency, it ironically delivers the worst rolling resistance result (6.81 kg/t). The Prinx also falls short in dry performance with the longest dry braking distance and slowest handling time. Its only decent result comes in noise testing, where it places mid-pack. Given its price point (€321) exceeding both the Falken and Nexen while delivering substantially worse performance, the Prinx XLAB Comfort EV cannot be recommended despite its "B" EU wet grip rating.
