We measured distances at <strong>the</strong> time of<br />
sudden brake at <strong>the</strong> stop line. Our golf<br />
equipped with Continental, hankook and<br />
bridgestone stopped asafely. for<br />
moderately-priced apollo it had to take a<br />
risk of a little longer slipping distance. fourseason<br />
tire of goodyear also slipped<br />
unignorable distance.<br />

When equipped with bridgestone<br />
Turanza er 300, test golf traveled <strong>the</strong><br />
circuit at <strong>the</strong> fastest speed and also<br />
won <strong>the</strong> greatest sympathy in <strong>the</strong><br />
subjective assessment. On <strong>the</strong><br />
indian-made apollo tire, curve<br />
dynamics of golf fell behind and<br />
corner steering was not good.<br />

16 inch tires of Pirelli, Nokian, dunlop<br />
and bridgestone made a strong<br />
impression on <strong>the</strong> slippery water.<br />

Michelin energy saver was proved to be a<br />
master of fuel saving as expected. at a<br />
guess, about 1% of fuel consumption<br />
decreases for each 5% of rolling resistance<br />
reduction. The fuel-saving rate of dunlop<br />
is about 5%.<br />

goodyear‘s new product,<br />

tires in <strong>the</strong> measurement of<br />
rolling resistance. but, on <strong>the</strong> wet<br />

disappointing. grip was insufficient.<br />
