Tire Test Results

Our team always gets excited for the Extreme Performance Summer tire tests as they're a big part of Tire Rack's DNA, and close to our hearts as performance enthusiasts. In this test, we turn our attention to two new Extreme Performance Summer tires that were developed to deliver different ends of the performance spectrum: the Nankang Sportnex CR-S and the Bridegstone Potenza Race. We run the newcomers on our track at HQ and also on our local road course to see how they adapt to faster speeds and sweeping corners of a bigger track environment. The benchmark tires in this test are familiar faces to the Extreme Performance Sumer category: The Continental ExtremeContact Force and the Yokohama ADVAN A052.
