2025 ADAC Summer Tyre Test P17 of 18

The Syron tyres Premium Performance achieves an "adequate" overall rating, primarily due to its weak performance in driving safety, especially on dry roads. It nearly achieved a "good" rating for environmental performance, but its overall performance is limited to "adequate." On dry roads, it exhibits significant weaknesses, losing performance with increasing temperature, providing poor feedback, and responding slowly to steering inputs, leading to unstable handling and oversteer. Its braking distance is good. On wet roads, it achieves a "satisfactory" overall rating, narrowly missing a "good" rating for braking. Its aquaplaning resistance is only satisfactory. Its handling performance is "adequate," struggling to combine longitudinal and lateral forces effectively, leading to understeer and oversteer. It nearly achieved a "good" rating for environmental performance, but also for projected mileage. Its abrasion is rated "good." It achieves a "very good" rating for fuel consumption and performs well in weight.

Performance Analysis

Drawn from 3 tests. Updated March 17, 2026.

Across three summer tyre tests, the Syron Premium Performance consistently ranks near the bottom overall, indicating a clear performance deficit versus the test leaders. The dominant pattern is weak safety-critical wet performance (braking, handling and aquaplaning), paired with only mid-to-lower-tier dry braking, which together explain the poor overall standings (17/18 in ADAC 2025 and 14/15 in Auto Bild 2021).

Its redeeming qualities are cost/efficiency related: it repeatedly scores very well on rolling resistance/fuel consumption and tends to be competitively priced/value-oriented. This makes it attractive on running costs, but the recurring wet grip shortcomings (including last-place wet metrics in 2021) are significant and consistent enough to outweigh those benefits in performance-led testing.
