In the ACE test, it achieved a 7th position out of 10, with its best performance in terms of Aquaplaning - longitudinal. Meanwhile, in the Autobild test, it stood 12th out of 50 tyres. This tyre especially impressed with its balanced high performance, good handling qualities and short wet and dry braking distances, all available at a fair price.
