GT Radial Touring VP Plus
The Bottom Line
The Touring VP Plus is well-suited for drivers who value comfort and dry road performance, with a reasonable 50,000-mile treadwear warranty. However, its wet grip is a notable weakness, making it less ideal for consistently rainy climates.
Important Note
Wet grip performance is lacking, which could be a concern for drivers in regions with frequent rain.
