The BEST Summer Tyres for 2026 Tested and Rated P12 of 12

The Davanti Protoura Sport finished 12th overall. It recorded the lowest measured noise, but the performance results put it at the back where it matters: last in wet handling, last on the wet circle, and 12th in wet braking, plus weak straight aquaplaning. Dry results were also towards the bottom, including low positions in dry braking and subjective dry handling. My wet notes describe weak turn-in, low braking confidence and abrupt breakaway, and the large gaps in wet lap time and braking distance show it wasn't close to the main group in this test.

Performance Analysis

Drawn from 1 tests. Updated October 28, 2026.

The Davanti Protoura Sport finished last of twelve overall in the 2026 Tyre Reviews summer test in 225/45 R17. Wet performance was the main weakness: braking was last of twelve at 34.27m, 23.9% longer than best, while wet handling was last of thirteen at 79.87s, 18% slower than best. The wet circle was also last, and the tester described weak turn-in, limited braking confidence and abrupt breakaway.

Dry results were weak too, with last place for braking at 42.49m, 18.9% longer than best, and a subjective handling score of 6.6 points near the back. Straight aquaplaning was last of twelve at 70.03km/h, with curved aquaplaning eleventh. The clear exception was measured noise, lowest at 70.6dB, but that did not translate into good ride comfort: its 5.6-point subjective comfort score was last in the measured field. This is one test rather than a pattern across comparisons, but it found large wet-road deficits alongside poor dry braking and aquaplaning results. The low noise reading is a narrow strength, not evidence of an otherwise refined or competitive balance.
