Royal Black Royal AS II
Lowcost

The Royal Black Royal AS II is a cheap tire that fails where it matters most. While it offers low rolling resistance and usable snow braking and comfort, its wet performance is disastrous. It finished dead last in every wet discipline in the tests, showing dangerously long braking distances. Definitely a tire to avoid.
