Performance Analysis
Drawn from 1 tests. Updated October 29, 2026.
The Z Max Zealion finished 46th of 52 in the 2025 Auto Bild summer tyre shootout in 225/40 R18. Both braking results were below mid-field, with wet braking the clearer weakness: 48th of 52 at 38 metres, 38.7% longer than the best stopping distance.
Dry braking was less far behind but still placed 37th of 52 at 37.5 metres, 15% behind the best. This single braking test establishes no handling, aquaplaning, comfort or wear strengths, and there are no further tests to show whether the braking pattern repeats.
