The Vredestein in second place had impressive grip, but felt a bit like a blunt instrument as it didn't give you a whole lot of information about what it was up to, and the original king of the dry, the Michelin CrossClimate, retained it's crown with the new version, but only narrowly in terms of time. Pirelli and Conti were next, both having good levels of grip, with the pirelli handling ok, but the conti surprisingly sporty and dynamic feeling, I really enjoyed it. The Goodyear felt very similar, not the greatest feedback or steering precision, and was another that didn't like the heat, but it looked great after the laps in comparison. I'm not sure how I feel about this as you would never track day it, but it was the tyre that came off the track looking the most worn, by quite a margin. The Bridgestone was lacking feedback and steering precision, but was actually felt grippy for the first half lap, but then the heat build up got to it and the grip fell away. The Avon felt nicely summer like with a good response to the inputs you made, but it didn't quite have the grip to back up the sporty feel, and the Nokian was another tyre that was really well balanced, enjoyable to drive quickly and progressive, it just couldn't quite match the best of this very competitive group. It didn't feel horrible to drive, and didn't give you any nasty surprises, it just lacked grip everywhere and when you pushed a little bit too hard, it seemed to slide forever. The worst tyre on test, and get used to this, was the "star performer", which definitely didn't live up to its name. The lap at Wachauring is short, and has only one really hard braking zone, so is a good overview of the lateral grip of the tyres, and we conducted the dry and wet testing around 2-4c air temperature.
