The testing was conducted at Tire Rack’s test track in South Bend, Ind., using 2006 BMW325i E90 sedans with new 225/40ZR18 tires mounted on 18×8-inch wheels.
The evaluations, said Pirelli, included cornering, lane change, acceleration, traction, responsiveness, handling and drivability “normally only encountered in abrupt emergency avoidance maneuvers or competition events.” (Tire Review/Akron)
