Scouter Analysis

The Sportnex CR-S is well-suited for drivers prioritizing wet and dry grip in a summer tire, with scores that exceed category averages. However, the absence of a treadwear warranty and average comfort and noise levels could be drawbacks for some buyers.

Spec-based analysis — see our methodology.

Pros

Wet grip score of 9 far exceeds the ultra high performance summer category average of 3.6, making it a strong choice for rainy conditions.

Dry grip and handling both score 8, which is above average for the category, providing a balanced performance on dry roads.

Treadlife score of 6.5 is above the category average, suggesting a longer lifespan than many competitors in this segment.

Cons

Lack of a treadwear warranty may deter buyers looking for guaranteed longevity in their tire investment.

No treadwear mileage warranty is offered, which is a downside compared to some competitors that provide limited warranties.

Comfort and noise scores are average at best, which may be noticeable during longer drives compared to more refined options.

The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 offers a more refined ride with better noise suppression.
