Noise Level
Interior cabin noise generated by the tire's tread pattern and construction at sustained highway speeds.
Highway Handling
Stability, steering response, and cornering confidence on dry paved roads at highway speeds.
Wet Handling
Grip and vehicle control on wet pavement. Measures cornering stability and directional control on wet pavement.
Wet Braking
Distance required to stop from 60 mph on wet pavement. Shorter distance indicates better performance.
Dry Braking
