Some folks I know have had bad experiences with these.

1. Where can I find test data on stopping distance? back to top

At the speeds that stopping distance is generally measured from (60 to 70mph), the test is primarily testing the tire's grip on the pavement. As delivered from the manufacturer, nearly all vehicles are able to engage the ABS or lock the wheels at these speeds. Therefore, an increase in braking power will do nothing to stop the vehicle in a shorter distance. For this reason, we do not record stopping distances.

Wow.

Yeah, I just looked at that site, and those guys seem like they're just begging to get sued.
