What is a Touring tyre?

Touring tyres are everyday tyres that put value, comfort and wear first. They give up some of the wet and dry performance of the premium options in exchange for a lower price.

Summer tyres use compounds that work best in warm conditions, giving the strongest wet and dry grip of any season category when temperatures are mild or hot. Their performance falls away in the cold, which is where winter and all season tyres take over.

The SUV and 4x4 Summer Touring Tyres owners rate highest

What drivers say about SUV and 4x4 Summer Touring Tyres

The most recent owner reviews from this category, in their own words.

71%
General Grabber GT Plus 255-55-19 Land Rover Discovery 4 6,000 miles November 9, 2026

Good dry grip and feedback, quiet on motorway and adequate manners on most surfaces - not so sure footed over standing water, prone to aquaplaning at motorway speeds but otherwise would buy again. Not as good as Pirelli Scorpion, but good enough for the money.

89%
Accelera Iota ST68 275-40-22 Land Rover Range Rover TD6 23,000 miles October 30, 2026

Very quiet with good wet and dry grip. Incredible value for money, they performed as well as Premium brands if not better. Have fitted a set of four to my next car.

96%
Maxxis HP M3 235-55-18 30,000 miles October 26, 2026

I have had no issues. They have performed very well.
I am not an aggressive driver and the tyres have exceeded my expectations.

36%
Accelera Iota 235-60-18 15,000 miles October 20, 2026

Bad ply seperations, bad traction in wet and snow, and had 2 blow out completely on road. They had half tread life left, and the correct pressure in tires pre blow out. Absolute garbage! My advice spend 30% more and get a good U.S.A. made tire.

10%
Maxtrek Sierra S6 225-60-17 Mazda Tribute 2004 100 miles October 19, 2026

They were taken off in the first one hundred km as when you turn the steering wheel at 110kmhr and the car goes straight ahead there is a problem. I got a full refund and replaced them. I was driving a Mazda Tribute.

27%
Joyroad Grand Tourer Ht 225-60-18 Toyota RAV4 12,000 miles October 17, 2026

Baught Joy Road HT summer tire 5 month ago size 225 60 R18 ...Do not go for price, it's cheap but this tire has poor quality get u trouble on road so do not go for price go for quality pay little extra more but do not take risk for any JOY ROAD tire.

33%
Accelera Iota ST68 265-55-19 4,000 miles October 15, 2026

Terrible tyres that vibrated had them rebalanced 4 times. Conclusion by tyre fitters was they were out of round. Garage that supplied them brand new with the car didn’t want to know and Accelera wanted proof of purchase from the garage who wouldn’t provide it. Ended up swapping them for Michelins which were like heaven transformed the car. Would never touch Accelerra with a barge pole -poor tyre and poor customer service.

86%
Yokohama Geolandar G900 225-55-17 Subaru 2010 Forester Diesel 30,000 miles October 14, 2026

Very good allround tyre, with good attributes in dry, wet, offroad, mud, snow and good feedback. A little noisy, but good longevity also.

52%
Maxxis HP M3 225-55-17 MG ZS 21,000 miles October 3, 2026

Spin too easily in the wet, or occasionally in the damp or dry. Disappointed with wear as I usually get at least 30,000 out of tyres on UK roads (50,000 once on Michelins)

SUV and 4x4 Summer Touring Tyres EU label data

76 of the 157 tyres in this category carry EU label data. These are the category's label headliners, using each tyre's best available size figures.

A Best wet grip

8 tyres reach EU wet grip class A. The highest scoring:

A Lowest rolling resistance

The most fuel efficient choice: 4 tyres reach rolling resistance class A. The highest scoring:

67dB Quietest tyres

The quietest tyres in this category are labelled from 67 dB external noise:

Label values come from the EU EPREL database and vary by size - the figures here are each tyre's best declared size. Wet grip and rolling resistance run from class A (best) to E; noise is the measured drive-by figure. A good label is a floor, not a verdict: the tests and rankings above tell you far more.

New SUV and 4x4 Summer Touring Tyres

The newest arrival in the category is the Jinyu S1 Suv Sport. 3 tyres have joined in the last two years:

New tyres take time to earn a TR Score - tests have to be run and owner reviews have to arrive. A missing score is a data gap, not a verdict.

Where this data comes from

Rankings combine independent test results with owner reviews submitted through this site, each naming the car, the tyre, the size and the distance covered. Reviews are checked by hand before publication, and the page rebuilds automatically as new evidence arrives.

About the TR Score

The Tyre Reviews Score rates each tyre out of 10 using independent test results and the full body of owner reviews, weighted by how much evidence backs them.

Who does the testing

Every test published as a Tyre Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tyres independently since 2007.
