The BEST Summer Tyres for 2026 Tested and Rated P11 of 12

The Goodride Solmax 1 finished 11th overall. It had a couple of positives in the data, including one of the better measured noise results and a mid-pack wet braking distance. However, the core performance results were mostly towards the back: it was slowest in dry handling, last in subjective dry handling, and rolling resistance was also near the bottom. In the wet, both objective and subjective handling results were in the lower half, and my notes repeatedly mention abrupt transitions and poor communication at and beyond the limit.

Bought these tyre used, almost brand new. In the first glance was sceptical because it's a china manufacturer, but i liked the tyre pattern, because it reminded me of a michelin-continental tyre pattern (bigger grooves for water). Risked it and bought them. And got to say, i was impressd in a good way. For my car power and driving style they are really good. I mostly drive in the city and countryroads. Expected it to be cheap china tyres with bad performance, but after driving 10k+ km in summer, they are comfy, good looking, good aquaplanning, accelerating in wet is good, acceleration in dry is nice. I mostly drive easy, but like to drive fast in the freeways. Tyres capible of doing 150-200kmh without any issue and stays on the road firmly. Overall - pretty good tyres for normal driving in summer, reliable and cheap. For a good price I would definately buy them again.
