During one of our recent performance rating tests on hard braking in an emergency situation, a lower âSâ rated tire driving 100 kilometres per hour was still going almost 25 km/hr when the higher âVâ rated tire stopped. The âSâ rated tire took 39 metres to stop. The âVâ rated tire stopped in 35 metres.
