▪ Procedure and Evaluation

- In most tests, the reference/control tire is tested repeatedly in the progress of the test to

detect and consider changes of the ambient test parameters and correct its performance by linear interpolation.

- Generally, all tires in a test are primarily evaluated in relation to the reference/control tire.

- The performance is expressed as a percentage value, calculated on the basis of the measured and corrected test data.

- In this present evaluation, the performance of each tire is assessed relative to Continental WinterContact TS 870 (≙ 100%).

- In all evaluations, a percentage >100% means better and <100% means worse.
