2026 AutoBild Track Day Tyre Test P2 of 5

The Vitour Tempesta P1 is the surprise of the test. The Chinese-made tyre was only one second off the Pirelli on the hot lap and showed strong stability at both axles. It offers good feedback and ran at a similar pace to the Pirelli through most of the long run, though it developed slightly more movement front and rear in the final two laps. In the wet it is quick and secure - close to the Nankang and well ahead of the Pirelli and both Michelins in handling. Wet braking is average for the group. Dry braking performance is strong. The main downsides are its weight, the heaviest set in the test at 56.2 kg, and the slight drop in composure towards the end of longer stints. For the price, it offers a lot of track performance.

The P1 is a really nice steering tire, and if you get it in the right window, it's fast. But on my vehicle, it overheats very quickly. A good autocross tire, but not a good track day tire.
