Video: Tyre testing

Our tyres tests are carried out jointly with the Australian consumer organisation Choice, on a closed racetrack in Australia.

The video below shows the Choice test car in action.
 

Cornering tests were to drive into a tight right-hand corner (with traction control turned off) and track how far the car deviated off line. Each set of tyres was tested 3 times at speeds of 75km/h and then 80km/h in the same conditions.

For braking, each set of tyres was tested 5 times for braking distances at speeds of 50km/h and 80km/h.
