not recommended
Ranked #10 of 11
The GT radial Sport Active 2 finished 10th out of 11 competitors, receiving a final rating of 'Not recommended.' This evaluation was due to its commendable aquaplaning qualities, showcasing superior performance in both cross and longitudinal aquaplaning disciplines. However, its performance was hindered by a low grip level on wet surfaces, moderate lateral support, and understeering during wet handling. Furthermore, it exhibited significantly prolonged wet braking distances alongside a delayed steering response and moderate rolling comfort, all of which contributed to its lower ranking in the competition. Despite its strengths in managing aquaplaning, these drawbacks were pivotal in shaping the overall assessment.
