2023 Tyre Reviews Best Summer Tyres

In this test, we'll be finding out what the best premium touring summer tyres on the market are!

I'm going to try and keep this as condensed as I possibly can as we have 13 sets of tyres in this test including the newest and best from Continental, Michelin, Hankook, Pirelli, Bridgestone, Vredestein, Kumho, Toyo, Nankang and more! This should also be the world's first test of the Continental PremiumContact 7!

So what are we testing? Premium touring tyres are also called comfort bias tyres, or normal tyres, or high performance tyres, but whatever you call them, they're the tyres most people use day to day on their normal, non sports car, vehicles. They focus on high levels of safety in the dry and wet, good levels of comfort, low noise, and low energy use to save you money at the pumps, or extend your battery range. In fact, while none of these tyres are EV specific, some of them are marked "EV ready" meaning they've been designed with both internal combustion and electric vehicles in mind.

Wet

Wet handling is both very important, and should be where premium tyres really make the difference, and once again this has been the case.

The cheapest tyre on test, the Doublecoin, was a disaster in terms of grip and steering and feedback. The Nankang was also pretty bad, it felt ok at first, and certainly had more grip than the Doublecoin, but there was a lot more oversteer with this tyre than any other tyre. It always amazes me how much a tyre can change the balance of a vehicle, we have tyres in this group which give huge amounts of understeer, all the way to oversteer at every turn, all on a 1.5 litre basic FWD Golf!

Now those two are out of the way, everything else ranges from good to excellent for both grip and subjective handling.

The GT Radial might not have been the quickest of the group, but subjectively it was up there with lovely steering and a nice predictable balance.

In the battle of the old school midrange brands, which i think of as Falken, Kumho, Toyo, Vredestein, Vredestein was the best as it was just a tenth of the very best round the lap and had a huge grip advantage when driving, even if the handling was a little numb. It wasn't the most fun to drive though, of the three in the wet, the most fun was the Toyo.

Hankook and Bridgestone finished close on time, but felt quite different to drive. The Hankook was enjoyable and predictable, but it just picked up a bit too much mid corner understeer, but the Bridgestone wasn't really an enjoyable tyre to drive, good grip but just a lot of poorly communicated understeer mid corner. But understeer is safe, and is the balance the Michelin subscribes to too. 

Of the remaining three tyres we've not talked about, the Goodyear felt it had quite a lot of sidewall deflection on initial turn but the grip built up nicely and there was lots of grip from the front axle which made for a quick tyre. The Pirelli and the new Continental were some of the most dynamic, fun, and the fastest. 

This is particularly good news for the new Continental as the previous tyre, the PremiumContact 6 was always one of the best in the dry, but in my tests I never got on with it in the wet, so good job Continental on the new product, but also you have to be impressed by the Pirelli and Goodyear, which aren't the youngest tyres anymore but still performing very well, and of course the outstanding grip of the Vredestein.

Continental had a small lead over the Michelin and Pirelli during the wet braking tests.

The impressive Vredestein Ultrac was the best tyre in straight aquaplaning, closely followed by the Falken and Michelin. The curved aquaplaning results can be found at the bottom of the page.

Dry

Naturally dry handling isn't a key factor for these tyres, and given it's quite a short course and the Golf doesn't have a huge amount of power, the times are very close. Subjectively, there are more differences.

Each set of tyres was tested below the limit for steering response and linearity, and put through multiple aggressive lane change maneuvers to test the stability of the tyres in emergency situations, and of course around the handling lap. The good news is that apart from the Doublecoin and possibly the Nankang, all the tyres passed the lane change test with flying colors. The Doublecoin was a total mess all round, and the Nankang just had a little too much oversteer.

If we cross reference dry braking and dry handling, overall the Continental had a small grip lead in the dry, followed by Bridgestone, Kumho, Pirelli and Hankook.

As for the balance and driveability of the tyres, well that's a bit more of a tricky as a lot of them are very similar, but there are still some standouts. 

If you want a cheap 16" track day tyre the Nankang offers good grip, and while it had too much oversteer for perhaps the ideal balance on the road, it was a fun challenge on track. 

Like in the wet the GT Radial was very good dynamically, even if it couldn't match the fastest in terms of grip, and the Kumho and Pirelli were really really good all round. But, by the smallest of margins, I'm happy to report that the Continental PremiumContact 7 was once again my favorite in the dry as it had the crispest steering, the steering built up forces beautifully and it was of the tyres you really enjoyed driving.

Environment

The rolling resistance, which is how much the tyre impacts your energy or fuel use, was a huge win for the Bridgestone Turanza T005 - it was over 10% better than the next best tyre. Given how well it performed in all other categories, this is a very impressive combination of abilities. Goodyear placed second with the EfficientGrip Performance 2 living up to its name, and Toyo was third.

Noise and comfort was, as usual, very close. The budget tyre was actually the quietest on test with the lowest passby noise, but in the car it was less refined and the least comfortable of the group. While all the other tyres were incredibly close, if noise and comfort is really your thing, the Michelin Primacy 4+ or Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 have the smallest of edges over the field in my opinion.

The Doublecoin was the cheapest tyre on test and the new Continental the most expensive.

Once again Continental have dropped a new tyre to the market, and seriously moved the game on, most noticeably in the wet. Last year it was the SportContact 7, this year it's the PremiumContact 7.

This tyre had a huge lead in wet braking, was joint fastest around wet handling, and had the fastest wet circle lap. Thankfully, it also kept most of the dry handling character I loved of the PremiumContact 6 and was excellent on the brakes. It wasn't a flawless run, it was pretty average in aquaplaning resistance, external noise and rolling resistance, but the lead it had in the grip categories led it to a dominating win. Yes, it is the newest tyre, and yes, based on this test, its also the best.

Continental bir kez daha piyasaya yeni bir lastik sürdü ve oyunu ciddi şekilde ilerletti, özellikle ıslak zeminde. Geçen yıl SportContact 7 idi, bu yıl ise PremiumContact 7.

Bu lastik ıslak zemin frenlemesinde büyük bir fark yarattı, ıslak zeminde en hızlı yol tutuşu sergiledi ve en hızlı ıslak zemin turuna sahip oldu. Neyse ki PremiumContact 6'da sevdiğim kuru zeminde yol tutuşu karakterinin çoğunu korudu ve frenlerde mükemmeldi. Kusursuz bir sürüş değildi, suda kızaklama direnci, dış gürültü ve yuvarlanma direncinde oldukça ortalamaydı, ancak tutuş kategorilerinde sahip olduğu fark onu baskın bir zafere taşıdı. Evet, en yeni lastik ve evet, bu teste dayanarak, aynı zamanda en iyisi.

Continental hat wieder einmal einen neuen Reifen auf den Markt gebracht und damit deutliche Fortschritte gemacht, vor allem bei Nässe. Letztes Jahr war es der SportContact 7, dieses Jahr ist es der PremiumContact 7.

Dieser Reifen hatte einen großen Vorsprung beim Nassbremsen, war beim Nasshandling mit am schnellsten und hatte die schnellste Rundenzeit auf nasser Strecke. Glücklicherweise behielt er auch die Trockenhandlingeigenschaften, die ich am PremiumContact 6 so mochte, weitgehend bei und war hervorragend beim Bremsen. Es war kein fehlerfreier Lauf, er war ziemlich durchschnittlich beim Aquaplaning-Schutz, bei Außengeräuschen und beim Rollwiderstand, aber der Vorsprung in den Grip-Kategorien verhalf ihm zu einem dominierenden Sieg. Ja, es ist der neueste Reifen, und ja, basierend auf diesem Test ist er auch der beste.

Continental a une fois de plus lancé un nouveau pneu sur le marché et a fait évoluer la situation, notamment sur sol mouillé. L'année dernière, c'était le SportContact 7, cette année, c'est le PremiumContact 7.

Ce pneu avait une énorme avance au freinage sur sol mouillé, était le plus rapide en maniabilité sur sol mouillé et avait le tour le plus rapide sur sol mouillé. Heureusement, il a également conservé la plupart des caractéristiques de maniabilité sur sol sec que j'aimais du PremiumContact 6 et était excellent au freinage. Ce n'était pas un parcours sans faute, il était assez moyen en résistance à l'aquaplaning, en bruit externe et en résistance au roulement, mais l'avance qu'il avait dans les catégories d'adhérence lui a permis de remporter une victoire écrasante. Oui, c'est le pneu le plus récent, et oui, sur la base de ce test, c'est aussi le meilleur.

The Pirelli Cinturato P7 has clearly had a significant update since I last tested it, and boy it seems to have worked. While the tyre didn't win any of the twelve categories we score on, its only real weakness was curved aquaplaning. In every other test it was within a few percent of the best, and subjectively a well balanced tyre to drive too. It's a big step forward for the Italian brand, and one I'm happy to highly recommend.

Pirelli Cinturato P7, son test ettiğimden beri açıkça önemli bir güncelleme geçirdi ve işe yaramış gibi görünüyor. Lastik, puanladığımız on iki kategoriden hiçbirini kazanamamış olsa da, tek gerçek zayıflığı kavisli suda kızaklamaydı. Diğer tüm testlerde en iyinin birkaç yüzde içindeydi ve öznel olarak sürüş için de iyi dengelenmiş bir lastikti. İtalyan markası için büyük bir adım ve şiddetle tavsiye etmekten mutluluk duyduğum bir şey.

Der Pirelli Cinturato P7 wurde seit meinem letzten Test deutlich verbessert und es scheint wirklich funktioniert zu haben. Obwohl der Reifen in keiner der zwölf Kategorien, in denen wir ihn bewerten, die Nase vorn hat, war Aquaplaning in Kurven seine einzige echte Schwäche. In allen anderen Tests lag er nur wenige Prozentpunkte hinter den Besten und war subjektiv auch ein gut ausbalancierter Reifen. Er ist ein großer Schritt nach vorne für die italienische Marke und ich kann ihn sehr empfehlen.

Le Pirelli Cinturato P7 a clairement bénéficié d'une mise à jour importante depuis mon dernier test, et cela semble avoir fonctionné. Bien que le pneu n'ait remporté aucune des douze catégories dans lesquelles nous avons obtenu des notes, sa seule véritable faiblesse était l'aquaplaning en courbe. Dans tous les autres tests, il était à quelques pour cent des meilleurs, et subjectivement, c'était un pneu bien équilibré à conduire aussi. C'est un grand pas en avant pour la marque italienne, et je suis heureux de le recommander vivement.

The Bridgestone lost a few points for wet braking, where it was pretty average, and dry handling where it felt sluggish and down on grip of the best, but this tyre absolutely crushed the rolling resistance test, a full 15% better than the second best tyre, which was the Goodyear. IF you drive an EV or plug in hybrid, this might be the best of the group. Highly recommended.

Bridgestone, ıslak zemin frenlemesinde oldukça ortalama olduğu ve kuru zeminde tutuşta en iyi lastiklerden daha yavaş ve düşük olduğu için birkaç puan kaybetti, ancak bu lastik yuvarlanma direnci testinde kesinlikle ezici bir üstünlük sağladı ve ikinci en iyi lastik olan Goodyear'dan tam %15 daha iyiydi. EV veya plug-in hibrit kullanıyorsanız, bu grubun en iyisi olabilir. Şiddetle tavsiye edilir.

Der Bridgestone verlor ein paar Punkte beim Nassbremsen, wo er ziemlich durchschnittlich war, und beim Trockenhandling, wo er sich träge anfühlte und weniger Grip hatte als die Besten, aber den Rollwiderstandstest meisterte dieser Reifen absolut mit Bravour, volle 15 % besser als der zweitbeste Reifen, der Goodyear. Wenn Sie ein Elektrofahrzeug oder einen Plug-in-Hybriden fahren, könnte dies der beste Reifen der Gruppe sein. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Le Bridgestone a perdu quelques points au freinage sur sol mouillé, où il était assez moyen, et à la tenue de route sur sol sec où il semblait lent et en dessous des meilleurs en termes d'adhérence, mais ce pneu a absolument écrasé le test de résistance au roulement, 15 % de mieux que le deuxième meilleur pneu, qui était le Goodyear. SI vous conduisez un véhicule électrique ou hybride rechargeable, ce pneu pourrait être le meilleur du groupe. Hautement recommandé.

The Goodyear was fantastic in both handling tests, proving to be the joint fastest tyre around wet handling. It was also quiet and comfortable, with a very low rolling resistance. highly recommended, another really well balanced tyre from Goodyear.

Goodyear her iki kullanım testinde de harikaydı ve ıslak kullanımda en hızlı lastik olduğunu kanıtladı. Ayrıca sessiz ve konforluydu, yuvarlanma direnci çok düşüktü. Şiddetle tavsiye edilir, Goodyear'dan gerçekten iyi dengelenmiş bir lastik daha.

Der Goodyear schnitt in beiden Handlingtests fantastisch ab und erwies sich als der schnellste Reifen im Nasshandling. Er war außerdem leise und komfortabel und hatte einen sehr geringen Rollwiderstand. Sehr empfehlenswert, ein weiterer wirklich gut ausbalancierter Reifen von Goodyear.

Le Goodyear a été fantastique dans les deux tests de tenue de route, se révélant être le pneu le plus rapide sur sol mouillé. Il était également silencieux et confortable, avec une très faible résistance au roulement. Je le recommande vivement, un autre pneu vraiment bien équilibré de Goodyear.

The Kumho Ecsta HS52 was the fastest tyre of the group around dry handling, though the margins were so small in the dry it didn't really affect the overall result. It was also very good in dry braking, and had great aquaplaning resistance. A very impressive tyre, and it would have finished higher if it wasn't for a high rolling resistance and average wet performance.

Kumho Ecsta HS52, kuru zeminde grubun en hızlı lastiğiydi, ancak kuru zemindeki farklar çok küçüktü ve genel sonucu pek etkilemedi. Ayrıca kuru zeminde frenlemede de çok iyiydi ve harika bir suda kızaklama direncine sahipti. Çok etkileyici bir lastikti ve yüksek yuvarlanma direnci ve ortalama ıslak performansı olmasaydı daha üst sıralarda yer alabilirdi.

Der Kumho Ecsta HS52 war der schnellste Reifen der Gruppe im Trockenhandling, obwohl die Differenzen im Trockenen so gering waren, dass sie das Gesamtergebnis nicht wirklich beeinflussten. Er war auch beim Trockenbremsen sehr gut und hatte eine hervorragende Aquaplaning-Resistenz. Ein sehr beeindruckender Reifen, und er hätte besser abgeschnitten, wenn er nicht einen hohen Rollwiderstand und eine durchschnittliche Nassleistung gehabt hätte.

Le Kumho Ecsta HS52 a été le pneu le plus rapide du groupe en termes de comportement sur sol sec, même si les marges étaient si faibles sur sol sec qu'elles n'ont pas vraiment affecté le résultat global. Il s'est également montré très bon en freinage sur sol sec et a eu une grande résistance à l'aquaplaning. Un pneu très impressionnant, et il aurait terminé plus haut s'il n'y avait pas eu une résistance au roulement élevée et des performances moyennes sur sol mouillé.

One again the Vredestein Ultrac proves to be a wet specialist, having one of the fastest wet handling laps and amongst the best aquaplaning resistance. Unfortunately all that wet performance leaves the Vredestein a little behind the group both in dry and rolling resistance tests.

Vredestein Ultrac bir kez daha ıslak zeminde uzman olduğunu kanıtlıyor, en hızlı ıslak zeminde yol tutuş turlarından birine ve en iyi suda kızaklama direncine sahip. Ne yazık ki tüm bu ıslak zemin performansı Vredestein'ı hem kuru zeminde hem de yuvarlanma direnci testlerinde grubun biraz gerisinde bırakıyor.

Der Vredestein Ultrac erweist sich erneut als Nassspezialist, er hat eine der schnellsten Nasshandlingrunden und gehört zu den Reifen mit der besten Aquaplaning-Resistenz. Leider bleibt der Vredestein trotz seiner Nassleistung sowohl bei Trocken- als auch bei Rollwiderstandstests etwas hinter der Gruppe zurück.

Une fois de plus, le Vredestein Ultrac s'avère être un spécialiste sur sol mouillé, avec l'un des tours de piste les plus rapides sur sol mouillé et l'une des meilleures résistances à l'aquaplaning. Malheureusement, toutes ces performances sur sol mouillé laissent le Vredestein un peu en retrait par rapport au groupe, tant dans les tests de résistance au roulement que sur sol sec.

The Gt Radial FE2 in eleventh was another step on from the Nankang. Once again GT have made a tyre that's enjoyable to drive, has good rolling resistance and good levels of comfort, and while it was only a few percent off in dry and wet handling, it did lose out a little in wet braking. But it was still 8 meters better than the budget.
On birinci sıradaki Gt Radial FE2, Nankang'dan bir adım daha öndeydi. GT bir kez daha sürüşü keyifli, iyi yuvarlanma direncine ve iyi konfor seviyelerine sahip bir lastik üretti ve kuru ve ıslak yol tutuşunda sadece birkaç yüzde geride olsa da, ıslak frenlemede biraz kaybetti. Ancak yine de bütçeden 8 metre daha iyiydi.
Der Gt Radial FE2 auf Platz elf war ein weiterer Schritt nach vorne gegenüber dem Nankang. Wieder einmal hat GT einen Reifen hergestellt, der angenehm zu fahren ist, einen guten Rollwiderstand und ein gutes Maß an Komfort bietet. Obwohl er beim Trocken- und Nasshandling nur ein paar Prozent schlechter war, büßte er beim Nassbremsen etwas ein. Aber er war immer noch 8 Meter besser als das Budgetmodell.
Le GT Radial FE2, onzième, a fait un pas de plus par rapport au Nankang. Une fois de plus, GT a conçu un pneu agréable à conduire, doté d'une bonne résistance au roulement et d'un bon niveau de confort. Même s'il n'était que de quelques pour cent inférieur en tenue de route sur sol sec et mouillé, il a perdu un peu en freinage sur sol mouillé. Mais il était toujours 8 mètres plus performant que le budget.

Islak zeminde genel olarak düşük yol tutuşu, uzun ıslak ve kuru fren mesafesi, yol için ideal olmayan kuru ve ıslak zeminde aşırı dönüş dengesi, düşük suda kızaklama direnci, yüksek yuvarlanma direnci.
Insgesamt geringe Nasshaftung, langer Nass- und Trockenbremsweg, für die Straße nicht optimales Übersteuergleichgewicht bei Trockenheit und Nässe, schlechte Aquaplaning-Sicherheit, hoher Rollwiderstand.
Faible adhérence générale sur sol mouillé, longue distance de freinage sur sol mouillé et sec, équilibre de survirage sur sol sec et mouillé qui n'est pas idéal pour la route, faible résistance à l'aquaplaning, résistance au roulement élevée.
The Nankang Econex NA1 was next up, considerably better than the Doublecoin but perhaps not a tyre that could be classified as great as it had long braking distances in the dry and wet, poor aquaplaning resistance, high noise and a high rolling resistance. It would however make a fun 16" dry weather track tyre if you don't want to fit a semi slick.
Nankang Econex NA1 bir sonraki sıradaydı, Doublecoin'den önemli ölçüde daha iyiydi ancak kuru ve ıslak zeminde uzun fren mesafeleri, zayıf suda kızaklama direnci, yüksek gürültü ve yüksek yuvarlanma direnci nedeniyle muhtemelen harika olarak sınıflandırılabilecek bir lastik değildi. Ancak yarı kaygan bir lastik takmak istemiyorsanız, eğlenceli bir 16 inç kuru hava pist lastiği olurdu.
Als nächstes kam der Nankang Econex NA1, der deutlich besser war als der Doublecoin, aber vielleicht kein so toller Reifen, da er lange Bremswege bei Trockenheit und Nässe, eine schlechte Aquaplaning-Resistenz, hohe Geräuschentwicklung und einen hohen Rollwiderstand hatte. Er wäre jedoch ein toller 16-Zoll-Reifen für trockenes Wetter, wenn Sie keinen Semi-Slick montieren möchten.
Le Nankang Econex NA1 était le suivant, considérablement meilleur que le Doublecoin, mais peut-être pas un pneu qui pourrait être classé comme excellent car il avait de longues distances de freinage sur sol sec et humide, une faible résistance à l'aquaplaning, un bruit élevé et une résistance au roulement élevée. Il ferait cependant un pneu de piste 16" amusant pour temps sec si vous ne voulez pas monter un semi-slick.

In last place by a landslide was the Doublecoin DC99. If you want a tyre that is extremely quiet for the people you drive past, this is the tyre for you. For anything else, this is not the tyre as it lost every other category we tested it in, most noticeably taking 14 meters longer to stop the car from just 80kph in the wet. That means when you were stopped on the Continental, you were still doing 45kmh on the Doublecoin. Go run into a tree at 45kmh and tell me that's worth saving a bit of money on your tyres.
Son sırada açık ara Doublecoin DC99 vardı. Eğer yanınızdan geçen insanlar için son derece sessiz bir lastik istiyorsanız, bu sizin için doğru lastik. Diğer her şey için, bu lastik doğru lastik değil çünkü test ettiğimiz diğer tüm kategorileri kaybetti, en belirgin olanı ıslak zeminde 80 km/s hızdan aracı durdurmak için 14 metre daha uzun sürmesiydi. Bu, Continental'de durduğunuzda Doublecoin'de hala 45 km/s hızla gittiğiniz anlamına geliyor. 45 km/s hızla bir ağaca çarpın ve bana bunun lastiklerinizden biraz tasarruf etmeye değer olduğunu söyleyin.
Den letzten Platz belegte mit großem Abstand der Doublecoin DC99. Wenn Sie einen Reifen suchen, der für die Leute, an denen Sie vorbeifahren, extrem leise ist, ist dies der richtige Reifen für Sie. Für alles andere ist dies nicht der richtige Reifen, da er in allen anderen Kategorien, in denen wir ihn getestet haben, verloren hat. Am deutlichsten war, dass er 14 Meter länger brauchte, um das Auto bei Nässe von nur 80 km/h anzuhalten. Das bedeutet, dass Sie, als Sie auf dem Continental angehalten haben, auf dem Doublecoin immer noch 45 km/h fuhren. Fahren Sie mit 45 km/h gegen einen Baum und sagen Sie mir, dass das die Ersparnis bei Ihren Reifen wert ist.
Le Doublecoin DC99 a été largement classé en dernière position. Si vous voulez un pneu extrêmement silencieux pour les personnes que vous croisez, c'est le pneu qu'il vous faut. Pour tout le reste, ce n'est pas le pneu qu'il vous faut, car il a perdu toutes les autres catégories dans lesquelles nous l'avons testé, notamment en mettant 14 mètres de plus pour arrêter la voiture à seulement 80 km/h sur sol mouillé. Cela signifie que lorsque vous vous êtes arrêté sur le Continental, vous rouliez toujours à 45 km/h sur le Doublecoin. Allez percuter un arbre à 45 km/h et dites-moi que cela vaut la peine d'économiser un peu d'argent sur vos pneus.
