Performance Analysis

Across three summer tyre tests, the Triangle SporteX TH201 shows a consistent pattern of very weak braking performance-especially in the wet-paired with generally low overall rankings. It finishes last in a UHP group test (9/9 in EVO 2021), near the bottom in a large market overview (49/48 in AutoBild 2023), and only mid-pack within a budget-only comparison (6/9 in 2023 budget test), indicating it struggles as competition quality and test breadth increase.

The tyre's relative strengths are limited to secondary attributes such as comfort and (to a lesser extent) rolling resistance, where it can be mid-pack or better. However, the repeated bottom-tier results in both wet and dry braking across different sizes and test organizations dominate the overall assessment and represent a clear safety-critical weakness.

Are Budget Tyres Finally Good Enough? 8 Cheap Tyres VS 1 Premium Tyre

2023
Winner: Continental PremiumContact 7

The Triangle SporteX TH201 was the second most expensive budget tyre, but the performance was near the back of the pack in every test meaning this is not a good choice at the cheap end of the market.
