The evidence behind the verdict

Following on from the fifty tyre braking shootout, Autobild have put the best twenty summer tyres through a full tyre test and included a budget reference tyre, which performed terribly!

The biggest advantage of an Autobild tyre test? They include a wear test, this year done on a machine, so scroll down the page to see each tyres estimated mileage and take note of how that affects the overall result!

Dry Braking

Wet Braking
100 → 0 km/h

There are some very interesting points to note from this test:

  • The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 not only won overall, but had the lowest wear of all twenty tyres, performing even better than the new Michelin Pilot Sport 5! This proves the Asymmetric 6 is an incredibly balanced tyre.
  • The Linglong Sport Master surprising appearance in the top twenty can now be understood, it had the highest wear on test, predicted to be worn out in just 27,600km compared to the Goodyears 63,200km.
  • GT Radial will be both surprised and impressed with the SportActive 2 finishing in fourth place overall! The sister Giti GitiSportS2, which should be very similar, could only finish seventeenth.
  • We had high hopes for the new Yokohama Advan Sport V107, but it disappointed in fifteenth overall. It performed well in the grip tests but was deranked due to high wear / cost.
  • Like the Yokohama, the Hankook and Pirelli both performed really well in the grip tests, but were degraded due to very high wear.
  • Conversely the new Bridgestone Turanza 6 finish fifth overall, with a pretty average performance all the grip tests.

Perhaps the thing to watch for the most, is if you want grip, or wear, or rolling resistance, or everything. Tyres like the Pirelli, Hankook and Yokohama were at the front for almost all the grip tests, but were massively deranked due to a bad score in one category. 

Wet

Hankook and Pirelli led wet braking, with the new PremiumContact 7 in third. The new Yokohama Advan Sport V107 performed well in fourth overall.

The unnamed cheap tyre was a total disaster, stopping in almost twice the distance of the best!

The difference between best and worst was 61% (23.6 m ≈ 5.2 Car Lengths). From 130 km/h, the Fulda SportControl 2 would still be travelling at 50 km/h when the Hankook Ventus S1 evo 3 had stopped.

Residual speed is calculated from the measured braking distances, assuming constant deceleration; it is not a separate measurement.

Wet handling had similar leaders, with the Pirelli, Goodyear and Continental proving to be the fastest around the lap.

 19.51 Price/1000 +10.81 Price/1000 €26.09

The difference between best and worst was 124.3% (10.81 Price/1000). Over 40,000 km the cheapest tyre to own (Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6) works out €627 cheaper than the most expensive (Yokohama Advan Sport V107).

How this is calculated

Assumes a typical car using 8 l/100km (with rolling resistance causing 20% of fuel use), fuel at €1.65 per litre and €70 fitting per set of four. Purchase prices are from the time of the 2023 test; financing costs are excluded.

The tyre purchases prices can be found below for reference.

The new Bridgestone Turanza 6 had by far the lowest rolling resistance.

The difference between best and worst was 40.1% (2.86 kg / t). Over 19,000 km a year at £1.45/L, the Yokohama Advan Sport V107 uses about 122 L (£177) more fuel than the Bridgestone Turanza 6.

Adjust the assumptions

Calculated estimates, not additional measurements. Use the controls to explore the assumptions.

19,000 km
£1.45/L
Estimates based on typical driving conditions. Rolling resistance accounts for approximately 20% of IC vehicle fuel consumption and 25% of EV energy consumption. Actual savings vary based on driving style, vehicle weight, road conditions, and tyre age. For comparative purposes only. Lifetime savings based on a 40,000km / 25,000 mile tread life.

The Kleber Dynaxer UHP was the quietest tyre on test in the passby noise test.

    Hey guys, I wanna buy tyres for my crossover (255/45/R20) and have three options:

    Nexen nfera Supreme (N5000 Platinum) : $175 each,
    Nankang SP-9 Cross-Sport : $115,
    Giti Sport S2 SUV :$125

    which will provide more comfort on bumpy roads?

    Are any of those tyres available in 195/50 r15?

      Very unlikely but there is a search on the site.

    I kinda don’t understand the reviews that I read here that are putting goodyear wear among its downsides: is it possible that those are referred to the old Eagle F1 AS5?
    Is it possible that the thread depth has been increased?
    I’m tempted to buy these tyres and I want to understand if wear will be an issue..

      The Asym 6 starts with a lower starting tread depth than the Asym 5. I agree the different in user reviews about occasional poor wear vs this test is confusing. I will find out myself later in the year.

    An excellent score weighting table option. My top 3 are same although Conti and Mich swap places. However Pirelli, Hankook, Yoko all move up into the next places replacing GT, Dunlop and Bridgestone. Tyres in the lower places remain similar.

    The projected mileage test puts Goodyear, Michelin, and Continental in a league of their own. I wonder how they would fare in the real world when compared to Bridgestone, Pirelli, and Hankook.

      Yep, it show's how far ahead some tyres are as a total package.

      The drum machine used for the wear testing is owned by Bridgestone and other testers have said there's good correlation between the drum and real world testing, it's the same machine ADAC used for split wear testing this year.

    I wonder how the Honda Civic TypeR landet in the statistics. ;)
