Conclusion
Wide makes fast? Yes of course. With a few exceptions in the test disciplines, the wider rear-wheel tires in mixed tires actually increase traction and driving stability. And that's exactly what matters on the road. But more than larger tire widths decide the tuning and quality of the tire over optimal performance in all road conditions. When it comes to overall performance, Conti leaves nothing to be desired and drives the Hankook (235/255) and Goodyear tires at the same level overall. Hankook (235/235), Dunlop and the dry strong Nexen follow, Nokian pats wet. A no-go, because: Rain means the snow in the winter of Central Europe.
