--------- Yoko, -- Bridge -- Super sports -- Bridgestone-Ecopia
Slalom Dry, 5.33, -- 4.99, -- 5.04, ------- 5.43
Slalom Wet, 5.50 -- 5.23, -- 5.10, ------- 5.81
Dry Lap, 31.75,-- 30.22, -- 30.54, ------- 32.58
Wet Lap, 33.76,-- 33.29, -- 31.37, ------- 36.36
Stop Dry, 93.70,-- 86.30 -- 80.3, ------- 98.00

Corner D, .84, ---- .89 ----- 1.07, ------- .79
Corner W, .72, ---- .74 ----- 9.7, ------- .61
Clearly there are between mine and yours. (Mine are Super sports)
I'm not sure they used the same driver for the lap times.
-My stopping distance in the wet is better then most tires in the Dry.
-These tires were tested on 328i's so most other cars would have worse figures including stopping distances. It worries me whenever someone tailgates me but at least they will be paying for a new bumper. Also I have 255 in the back instead of the 225 in this test.
-sorry I couldn't make the chart better

Thanks for adding more tire data. Even the super sports are such a change in performance that safety is still not an issue. I'd like to know the treadwear rating and how many actual miles you'll get out of a set of super sports. I drive my E90 over 38,000 miles a year; I need to balance performance with tread life. My point was my Yoko's are close to what BMW used as OEM.
