quote "Wet Grip (Braking Performance)

Wet grip is a critical safety feature and relates to the tyres ability to stop a vehicle quickly on wet roads and can be expressed in terms of stopping distance. The grades are A to G, with D and G not being used."

So why not use 1 to 5, or A to E??? or am I missing something???

Perhaps the test drivers doing the tests on the tyres rated D and G (in the wet) are still in A&E???

I reckon Continental has misinterpreted the EU proposals because their piece is utter nonsense. :dunno:

I'd like to know on what surface they test tyre noise. Rough concrete or smooth tarmac. I have my music at 120 dB so don't really give a toss :-P
