    How the Royal-Black Royal AS II performs. It does not lead any single category outright in this matchup. It has limited comparative test data, so treat its results as indicative.

    What this means for you. Category wins matter more than the overall score when your driving is weighted toward one condition — a wet-climate commuter should follow the wet braking column, while a high-mileage driver should follow wear and rolling resistance. Also check that both tires are actually offered in your size and load rating: performance can shift between sizes, and availability differs between the European and North American markets.
