Wet Grip Rating
The wet grip rating measures a tyre's braking performance on wet road surfaces, graded from A (shortest stopping distance) to E (longest) on the EU tyre label. The difference between an A-rated and E-rated tyre can be up to 18 metres in stopping distance at 80km/h. This rating is a critical safety factor when recommending tyres to customers.
