Tests & Results

The new OptiGrip has been extensively tested at the company's own testing facilities, on public roads as well as by an independent third party; TÜV SÜD Automotive. These tests measure numerous different driving parameters such as braking, aquaplaning, handling, rolling resistance and noise emission at various stages of the tyre life. As the Performance evolution is tracked through a tread wear test, this gives a true picture of the OptiGrip’s long lasting performance capability.
