Haha I am extending it, its better if conditions are perfect on a warm day, not better if its like you said below. A cold (even start up cold) summer tire does not perform well in braking.

That being said comparing the AS to Summer stopping, the new AS perform way better than they did, most of them are within a half a car length difference to their summer counterparts.

Definitely not as good, but not like a car length plus difference either.
