Of the twelve tyres tested in this popular crossover SUV size, Michelin once again take the top spot with the Primacy 4, thanks to an excellent all round balanced performance.
Second and third place were awarded to the Bridgestone Turanza T005 and Pirelli Cinturato P7, which is vastly different from the 18" version of the test where the brands could only tie for ninth place overall. Like the Michelin, both tyres were very well balanced, and had no obvious drawbacks other than high wear for the Pirelli.
Maxxis again scored very well, tying with the Pirelli for third, and like the Pirelli performing in all areas apart from wear, where as fifth place Semperit was one of the best wearing tyres on test, but struggled a little in the wet compared to the leaders.
Other notable results include the new Continental EcoContact 6 having the lowest rolling resistance AND the best wear on test, which means it was predicted to have 13,500 more Km, or nearly one third extra distance available.
