Autobild, (3.2014)

This test is a special test with 50 participating products. The evaluation consists of 2 parts:

Part 1: Arithmetic average of dry and wet braking test for the short listing of 15 best products called "Finalists".

Part 2: Complete test of the finalists only, including mileage and pricing evaluation.

Note: A comparison of final test results between "Finalists" and "Non-finalists" is not possible due to the very different scope of test procedure for "Finalists" and "Non-finalists". The test was conducted by Auto Bild in cooperation with BMW, Bridgestone, Goodyear, Hankook, Michelin and Pirelli at the WABCO, Germany, and Idiada, Spain. The wear test was conducted by DEKRA.
