Traction and handling on wet asphalt Traction and handling on dry asphalt
Insufficient ride smoothness
Points: 9.15
Puncture on the curb occurs when driving onto an obstacle at a speed of 65 km/h. The shortest braking distance. On "big water" tires float earlier than Hankook and Nokian. Increased stiffness when driving over asphalt joints.
A direct blow to the curb occurs when driving over an obstacle at a speed of 75 km/h. The selected tires, chosen as a kind of standard, were supposed to demonstrate the differences between UHP class tires and HP class tires. However, in not all disciplines, the "standard" turned out to be more preferable. The tires notice all the small irregularities.

A curb penetration occurs when driving over an obstacle at a speed of 65 km/h. Well-balanced tires in terms of safety and comfort, they have low rolling resistance. The seams of asphalt and pebbles rolled into the coating, these tires seem to not notice.
A puncture occurs when driving over an obstacle at a speed of 60 km/h. The tires performed confidently on both wet and dry asphalt, and especially successfully on "deep water". From test to test, the tires are rising higher and higher in the ratings. The Korean manufacturer is working increasingly closely with car manufacturers - in particular, these tires are supplied as original equipment on the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

A penetrating crash against the curb occurs when driving over an obstacle at a speed of 65 km/h. The coupling properties in both the longitudinal and transverse directions do not cause concerns. However, on dry pavement, the braking distance is somewhat large, and during high-speed maneuvering, the reactions become sluggish.

A puncture occurs when driving over an obstacle at a speed of 55 km/h. The tires have a minimal rolling resistance, did not cause concern and the braking distance on wet asphalt. In puddles, the problems are already more noticeable: the car floats at a speed of 74.4 km/h. Decent tires for good roads - without deep puddles and potholes.

A puncture occurs when hitting an obstacle at a speed of 70 km/h. Small irregularities are absorbed well, but on short waves of asphalt, the "ball effect" is already felt. The tires are quite suitable for the Russian outback - the roads are worse there, and the salaries are lower.
A puncture occurs when driving over an obstacle at a speed of 65 km/h. The reputation of the tires was saved by the Dunlop tires. They look more or less decent only in the aquaplaning test, but on wet asphalt they slip more than their competitors. At least they maintain a decent balance between understeer and oversteer. The tires are hard and noisy.

A sidewall puncture occurs when driving over an obstacle at a speed of 70 km/h. On wet asphalt, the tires become simply dangerous: the braking distance from 100 km/h increases by 18 meters! When cornering, any careless pressing of the gas pedal results in wheel spin and lengthy skidding. The possible area of application is extremely dry regions where precipitation occurs a couple of times a year. Driving in the rain is a no-no!
