2026 Autobild Summer Tyre Test

Compare each discipline in the tested size. See the measured result, position and gap to the best tyre, then read the verdict for the trade-offs behind the finishing order.

Read the measurements, not just the rank

Lower is better for braking distances and lap times; higher is better for subjective scores and aquaplaning speed. Bars start at zero. Read the gap alongside the position: adjacent tyres can be separated by very different margins.

Positions and gaps always refer to the full test field within each group. Selecting tyres does not recalculate rankings or change the best-in-test benchmark.

The difference between best and worst was 7.6% (2.5 m ≈ 0.6 Car Lengths). From 130 km/h, the Dunlop SportMaxx RT 2 would still be travelling at 35 km/h when the Hankook Ventus Evo had stopped.

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

The difference between best and worst was 57.9% (6.38 Price/1000). Over 40,000 km the cheapest tyre to own (Kleber Dynaxer HP5) works out €608 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 2026 test; financing costs are excluded.

The difference between best and worst was 51.4% (3.43 kg / t). Over 19,000 km a year at £1.45/L, the Yokohama Advan Sport V107 uses about 156 L (£227) more fuel than the Kleber Dynaxer HP5.

Adjust the assumptions

Calculated estimates, not additional measurements. Use the controls to explore the assumptions. These calculators use the full test field, independently of your tyre selection above.

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.
