  MAGAZINE	ISSUE	TESTED PATTERN	SIZE	TEST VEHICLE	FINAL RESULT
  	02/09	Cinturato P6	195/60R15 H	Opel Corsa	Very Recommendable
  In all criteria’s the Pirelli has one of the leading positions. His performance is unobtrusive. But maybe this is exactly the skill of the tyre-manufacturer for achieving good results.
  	03/09	P Zero	F 235/35ZR19(Y) R 295/30ZR19(Y)	Porsche Cayman S	Very Recommendable
  High and balanced performance with sporty and dynamic driving characteristics; comfortable steering-precision. He is convincing through shortest braking distances on dry and wet ground.
  	03/09	P Zero	225/45R17 W/Y	Golf GTI Audi A3	TEST WINNER Very Good
  The Italians, which are usually blessed with success, are showing again that they can do it. No other tyre offers such precised and balanced handling-characteristics, no other is braking perfect on wet an dry like the P Zero is doing. The aquaplaning security is good, just on comfort and noise it is just mark 3. Conclusion: Very good and for sure the Gute Fahrt recommendation.
  	03/09	P Zero	F 225/40R18 Y R 255/35R18 Y	BMW 135i Coupè	TEST WINNER Very Recommendable
  With only one point the Pirelli missed the maximum score on dry ground. Precise, neutral and reliable the P ZERO is managing the handling track. Only in the criteria’s aquaplaning and wet-braking the real sportsman is losing points.
  	03/09	P7	205/55R16 V	VW Golf	Recommendable
  Very good and sporty driving behaviour on wet ground, good aquaplaning characteristics, short braking-distance in wet and dry.
  	03/09	P7	205/55R16 V/W	VW Golf	Good

  	03/09	Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico	235/55R17 H/V/W/Y	VW Tiguan	Good
  Best performance on wet braking, low rolling resistance, quite good grip on offroad track.
  	03/09	Chrono Camper	225/75R16 Q/R C/CP	Fiat Ducato Maxi	TEST WINNER Very Good
  Top on wet and dry surfaces: high safety level, perfect steering precision and a well balanced car balance.
