Choice summer tires For a car, it can be a rather complicated event, especially for people who are far from the road and most often use their car on the principle "reached and forgot".

From this article you will learn:

To help people choose the best summer tires for their car, the first on tires website made an overview of the popular summer tire models according to brands, as well as from different classes and price categories.

Which manufacturer's tires to choose

For simplicity of understanding, it must be said that summer tires are in the lineup of absolutely all manufacturers of tires in the world, so the choice of tire maker can be reduced to a simple and understandable formula. All companies that produce tires are divided into several categories:

• very popular
• not very popular
• little-known
• no one unknown

Accordingly, the more brand fame - the higher the cost of the tires.

As a rule, popular and very popular companies will value with their own name and as their products do not have to doubt, so buying tires of popular brands you can not be afraid to get a marriage or not a condision. Although, of course, the cost of such products can be quite high.

As for non-very popular companies, thanks to globalization, they most often cooperate with very well-known tire brands or even belong to them. Therefore, it is also not necessary to doubt as their products as their products, but the cost of their tires may already be noticeably lower, which pleases buyers.

But the products of little-known and no one-known tire brands already require a detailed study, because among the models of these producers it is possible to find both excellent tires, and very mediocre tires.

For people who have no time, no desire to understand what summer tires are better, and what are worse, the easiest way to choose a popular model from one of the famous brands. With a high probability, such tires will arrange them in everything. Below are very popular models of summer tires from different classes that have taken high places in various ratings.

The best tires of class "Premium"

Premium class tires are most often the top of engineering thought and carry all the most advanced developments of the manufacturer's company, so they can boast the best characteristics of stability, braking, behavior on the wet road, as well as softness and comfort.

Among these tires, several models can be distinguished, which received the first places in popularity from buyers to Yandex Market, as well as those who have taken the first places in various ratings conducted by road publications.

1. Michelin Primacy 3 is one of the most popular premium-tires using the well-deserved respect for customers. The key point in the development of the tire was improved traffic safety, both on a wet road and dry. Safety during the passage of turns was also given increased attention. A specially designed and patented composition of the rubber mixture lowers the rolling resistance and increases the resistance to wear of the tire.
2. - Another of the popular premium tires, often installed on the Luxury Cars of the German "Big Troika" Mercedes, BMW and Audi. The tire was developed by Italian engineers for a very long time and absorbed a lot of advanced technologies that allowed the tire a number of outstanding properties, such as a very high level of comfort with low rolling resistance and excellent indicators of behavior stability with a sharp change of temperature.
3. - One of the best-selling tires of a famous overseas brand, which has increasing the mass of advanced technical solutions, the main ones were the stability and predictability of behavior on a wet road at outstanding comfort and long service life.

The best models of summer tires class "Standard" / "Comfort" / "Sport"

In addition to summer premium tire models, it is possible to find quite a few excellent tires with outstanding driving characteristics that are positioned below the "Premium" class, and therefore are noticeably cheaper. Among these tires, such models can be distinguished as:

19860

Terms of choice and types of summer rubber

The next type of rubber is all-season - it is distinguished by universality, as it can be used during the year. However, their own key features Such products will maintain at ambient temperature to -7 degrees. With a colder weather, the tire is worthless and deprived of its elasticity, as a result of which the handling deteriorates. For most regions of our country, it is not suitable for use in the winter months.

How to choose summer tires for summer 2019

Sports rubber is suitable for drivers who like high speed, and also prefer an aggressive driving style. It is made from a special mixture of rubber, at high speed makes it easily maneuver, almost no noise. However, due to the fact that it is made of sufficiently rigid materials, any, even a minor bump or fossa, will be well felt. Contact with expensive as much as possible, due to not too relief tread.

It is on the protector that you should pay attention to the selection of summer rubber - today one of the most popular is symmetrical directional, it is ideal for most car enthusiasts, but does not tolerate aggressive ride and too high speeds. The asymmetrical unired tread pattern allows you to quickly remove moisture from the contact spot, well shown itself during sharp maneuvers or on steep turns. There are two more types of tread - symmetrical directional and asymmetrical directional. They are less common.

In compiling our review, we considered not only all the above moments, but also took into account such moments as the value for money, user feedback and professional drivers, many other characteristics. We very much hope that our information collected will allow you to choose the most suitable summer tires for your car. All summer rubber brands presented in the ranking can be found in this tire catalog.

Despite the fact that I was completely confident in an excellent condition of my own health, I became scary. And here Natasha came to the rescue. At stall with the inscription the best food. The pair of meters from us, and indeed the peaceful firing pellets with meat two thinner sergeant. I started the engine and rushed at the address specified with a pier. It was restless in the soul. I turned my head and saw 2 militiamen. Standing a bit gone from. Who is so alisa, remains a mystery, but I was not going to decide.

Urged a staircase from steel rods. Nothing thinking, I climbed up, deciding that the panel is revealed just like that through which we hit the tunnel. He rested himself to the wall, pulled it off her, got out to what. That room and said Vane. There was no fees, later in the complete darkness sounded voice Ivan. I was confused, but I answered optimistically. At the same second, Camorka lit up with light, I climbed. I stood among the toilet. Two toilet bowls without stools and drain tanks have fun rumors. Macefully showed water. Highly smelled chlorine, the door clearance was closed with a grid, and for. Stood squirrel, Misha and two gloomy men with guns. I stared at the guys with an instrument and blurted out.

I reached out again. It was behind the mirror, but here passerby pinched my finger towards my typewriter and continued. I overlooked offended Zhiguli, picked up sneakers scorn out of the box and scorn. The man sneaked, Popper a couple of minutes and stated. Here I am going to the store, clinging in the fist issued by Rasa penny on a bottle of beer. Zhigulevsky for years in Moscow was. To get, a little-in stores came in stores, as the Horde of the men stormed the counter, shouting. Skiding, I posted her the essence of the case, told about Raisa, beer, coins, a grid of sewage ... The woman by force shoved in my cam setting. The door in the apartment was opened and underpened by a stool, and on the stairs, on the windowsill, sat in shorts and a t-shirt, smeared paint. The girl jumped off the windowsill, left his hands in the sides and snapped. I noted that her voice was changed, and repeated. Nick bit the bottom lip, later decisively shook her hair and again rushed into battle. I quietly listened to the already famous story about deception with things. I nodded. I know this institution.

I had to obey. Almira lived in a new home, in a multi-room apartment forced expensive furniture. I opened. It was mouth, but here a sharp phone call forced me to flush. Almira grabbed the phone. Then she looked at. Suddenly I was offended. But Almira is an extremely nasty man. I silently went to the door. I quickly ran to the door. And, before that, than Almir managed to rise from the sofa, rushed after the handle, jumped into the elevator and later, a day later, it turned out to be in the sixth.

My phone rang in my pocket, I hurriedly left the crusade to deal with the obscured Jeanne. I looked at the screen tube and quickly said. Male voice rang out of the mobile. Persistence hired by Max. The actor delighted. It would have long been profound that I played my role badly, he was diverse. It's time to finish curly. And no, duraly continues to talk about a chest and chicken. Well, at the moment he will get me ... silence has been silent in the tube. The lady's lady was cut into English. I turned around, I saw an attractive lady in a blue dress and asked. A few moments a woman taratorized with machine-gun speed, then quit, silent and looked at.

Fifteen tires for small cars are the most massive. Most of the class B and even with the "sixteenth" and larger wheels on our market are mainly in the budget "fifteenth" size. And it's not only at lower prices of such shoes. On our roads, tires with a higher profile are more comfortable and more durable. Moreover, they protect the suspension consumables (ball supports, silent blocks, shock absorbers) from high shock loads, extending their lives.

Alas, new products in budget dimensions. New developments in this segment are economically unprofitable, therefore it is very rare. Shinniki, as a rule, longer hold inexpensive small-sized models on the conveyor, rather than larger. Some companies slightly reproduce the tires composition of the mixture and other materials, and often not so much for the sake of improving the characteristics, how much to reduce production costs.

List of tested tires:

The highest price bar is kept top, but not new models of Continental ContipremiUmcontAct 5 (3600 rubles aged) of Czech production and Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance (3400 rubles), made in Germany. Slightly cheaper you can buy Pirelli Cinturato P1 Verde tires (3150 rubles) manufactured in Turkey, and a completely fresh model of Nokian Hakka Green 2 (3200 rubles) of domestic production. The latter, by the way, can boast not only Russian citizenship, but also an increased load index: 95.

The average price segment opens more democratic tires (2,800 rubles) - the real Japanese Toyo Proxes CF2 and the renovated Tire Tire Hankook Kinergy Eco Korean Development, but produced in Hungary. A little cheaper will cost a fresh model of Nordman SX 2 (2700 rubles) of Russian production and Kumho Ecowing ES01 (2600 rubles), made in China.

The price of not a new domestic tire Cordiant Sport 3 (2500 rubles) lies on the border between budget and medium-value proposals. Cheaper (2300 rubles) Sell a fairly fresh model of Matador Elite 3 (it is MP 44) produced in Russia.

CHAMPIRO FE1 from the GT Radial brand, which you can buy for 2,200 rubles, also took part in the test. And closes the test dozen Belarusian Belshina Artmotion, it is BEL-261. Her average price In online stores is 2100 rubles per piece.

Test car appointed "Czech" by name Skoda Octavia.. Tests were performed at the AvtoVAZ test site, near Togliatti. The time is hot August and September 2016. Air during tests warmed up to 22-37 degrees.

For passenger tires The dimension of 195/65 R15 producers are considered standard load index 91 (615 kg per wheel). Some produce bush lifting tires - with an index 95 (690 kg); To attract attention to their marking, add XL letters, which means "Increased loading capacity" (Extra Load).

With speed indexes, everything is also not easy. If five or ten years ago, the tires of such a dimension had the index N (up to 210 km / h), now they become more rapid, as evidenced by the frequent appearance of the V (up to 240 / km / h).

Recall that the constructive distinction of tires with unequal high-speed indices lies in different tensile strength under the action of the maximum for each speed limit of centrifugal forces. And the tires with different load indexes differ in the ability to carry different loads.

In our company, eleven participants from the twelve have a "standard" load index - 91. Only Nokian Hakka Green 2 is enhanced by Nokian Hakka Green 2 - if any vehicle is required with the load index 95, Hakki rivals will remain with the nose. High-speed indicators were distributed as follows: seven tires have an "old" for this size of the high-speed limit H (210 km / h), and five are more modern V (240 km / h). For our high-speed restrictions and for the technical capabilities of many inexpensive cars, even the index N grabs with a margin.

Funshit on the polygon

Our approach to testing has not changed since last year. Recall briefly the test method.

The initial exercise is an assessment of fuel economy. Previously, it is necessary to warm up the tires, as well as the aggregates and knots of the car. On each set of tires we drive ten kilometers across the speed ring. In parallel, we estimate the course stability of the machine at high speed (up to 130 km / h), the smoothness of the stroke and inner noise.

The highest estimates on the Octavia coursework received on Nokian and Pirelli tires, conquering experts with clear reactions and a dense, informative steering wheel.

Pale all in this test looked Belshina, Cordiant, GT Radial and Matador. Remarks are different: from a wide "zero" (the car walks out of side to the side with the constant position of the ram) and the lack of informativeness of the steering to delays in the reactions of the machine, the need to rotate the steering wheel to large angles when the course is adjusted and even dangerous rear axle is adjusted. . For coursework stability, this four earned only six points.

Measurement measurements are carried out in glacial weather on a horizontal two-kilometer road section, several times repeating races in both directions to neutralize the possible effect of even a light breeze.

GT Radial and Matador tires gave odds to everyone else, including those that were the most economical in our previous tests. The separation from the nearest competitors is 0.2 l / 100 km at a speed of 60 and 90 km / h. The most immodest consumption of Octavia has shown on Cordiant tires: the leaders' backlog was 0.3 l / 100 km at 60 km / h and 0.5 l / 100 km at 90 km / h.

After measurements, we make a four-kilometer loop on the service roads of the landfill, continuing to evaluate the comfort on various irregularities - from seams and cracks on the asphalt to serious chosen. Each set of tires rolling strictly one by the same route and at the same speed.

Now about noise. The maximum eight points experts did not give anyone, eight participants earned seven. Belshina, Kumho and Toyo rustled louder, therefore they deserve no more six, and GT Radial tires for the aircraft root on the rough asphalt raised to five points.

In the smoothness of the stroke, there was no equal Hankook tires - the desirable OCTAVIA in them is softerly passes road irregularities. Almost all the other tires earned seven and six, and the GT Radial tires and here were the most uncomfortable - they are transferred to the controls and seats of vibration from cracks and road seams, causing a trembling on rough asphalt, and also skip hard shoes from any irregularities.

Then we turn with the asphalt to the primer with a slope of 12%, where we appreciate the confidence of the troggy and movement in the rise. We repeat the passages with different degrees of bucks to evaluate the clutch drop at the time of breaking the wheels in the slip. This exercise is optional, its results are not included in the overall test. We hold it at the request of our readers - to understand how the tires behave on the primer.

Better than the rest on the ground rise "row" Cordiant and Matador. And more than others are dropped, losing cravings, GT Radial, Hankook, Kumho, Pirelli and Toyo. Such roads are clearly not their bitch.

Stop, car!

There is a turn to lose the wheels about the asphalt. Since on each set of tires will have to perform several exercises, begin with the test, during which the protector is erased to the minimum degree - from braking on wet asphalt. The trajectory before measurements thoroughly purify from dust and small pebbles with twenty-grade braking at non-verbal tires.

Our mobile watering system consists of a motor-pump, a set of rotary sprinklers, long hoses and a five-toll water barrel in a trailer, which testes technical equipment Chevrolet Niva.. The first spray is so that the car shakes the wheel at a distance of two or three housings to the initial point of braking. It is suitable for the machine at a speed of 83-85 km / h. The VBOX measuring complex fixes the magnitude of the brake path when the speed is reduced from 80 to 5 km / h, and not until a complete stop, as at low speeds (from 5 km / h to zero) ABS often triggered, wheels can be blocked and the braking path will increase . The driver strikes the brake pedal (after tapping a clutch) at the time of crossing the line designated cones, and waits for the car to stop completely. Such a test tester repeats six to eight times. And I do not forget to cool the brakes on the way to the start of the start - moving at a speed of 40-50 km / h and slowing down only by the engine.

On the wet road, the best of all was shown tires nokian.: The brake path of Octavia amounted to 26.2 meters. No more than half the meter on it rigged into the tires Continental, Goodyear and Pirelli. The longest brake path gave Belshina: 31 meters. The difference with the leader is more car housing!

The next day is braked on dry asphalt. Once again, clean the coating before measurements. On each set of tires, it is braked five to six times from a speed of 103-105 km / h, and measure the braking route with a drop of speed from 100 to 5 km / h (according to such a scheme, the brake properties of cars and tires are the entire car world). And one more important difference between the "dry" braking from "wet": cool the brakes longer - you need to lengthen the cooling loop by several hundred meters.

Here, Pirelli is broken here with a result of 37.5 meters. Nokian is inferior to almost meter, Continental and Goodyear - 0.4 and 0.3 meters, respectively. Belshina again in Outsiders: With a result of 42.9 meters, it loses the leader almost five and a half meters.

Playing checkers

The final exercises are the rearrangement on the wet coverage and dry - the most difficult for test drivers. In the final phase of tests, they are performed because the rubber here is erased as emery.

Rearruding, or change of traffic, is an exercise that imitating extreme maneuvering. The most common cause is a sharp change of strip - an obstacle that occurs on the road, which you have to travel at speeds. Usually come across this in completely unexpected places when only one way out remains - dramatically rebuilt. In this exercise, a complex of transverse coupling properties and insistence of tire characteristics, clarity of the car reactions on tires data are estimated.

The dimensions of the test corridor dictated life: on our roads the standard lane width is three and a half meters. But in the weekend we find the corridor cones so that with every attempt the car went through the same trajectory. It is necessary to rebuilt on the next strip on a path of only 12 meters long (in the past it is a standard exercise that Soviet GOST) was determined.

Tesser's task - pick up the maximum possible speed Exercise exercises. The car should not bring down a single cone, which are limited by the lanes. The speed in the input corridor in the same point measures the impartial VBOX. And the test driver during extreme maneuvering evaluates handling.

Usually, on each set of tires, the test takes 15-20 approaches, reaching the maximum speed and trying to repeat the limit result, in order to make sure that it is not accidental.

On the wet rearrangement Octavia was the fastest on goodyear tires (69 km / h). "Support Group" - Pirelli and Continental, on which the speed of execution of the maneuver fell only by 0.5 km / h. The most leopard - Belshina (61 km / h), and it was a tire of GT Radial (61.5 km / h).

Eight points for handling on a wet road during rearrangement experts gave Nokian, Nordman, Pirelli and Toyo tires: Skoda on these tires showed clear reactions and understandable behavior. Worse than others tolerate extreme maneuvering GT Radial. On them, Octavia somehow unexpectedly sailed into a deep skid, slid long and restored the trajectory reluctantly. If the machine is shod in these tires, we do not advise you to turn the steering wheel sharply - you can lose it.

Nokian tires won on dry asphalt - 69.7 km / h. The smallest is behind Continental - 69.1 km / h. And at the opposite end - again Belshina with a result of 65.9 km / h.

After checking the "extreme" manageability on a dry road, the alignment has changed a bit. The eights were awarded the same tires as on a wet road, - Nokian, Nordman, Pirelli and Toyo. And the Hankook joined them. It is noteworthy that the behavior of the Tires GT Radial on the dry road experts were assessed significantly higher (seven points) than on wet. Loom-speakers in such conditions were Belshina and Matador, which earned only six points: delays in reactions, large steering angles, excess turning (tendency to drift) in the second corridor.

Rules Ball

This season, we slightly upgraded the system of counting the final points.

Previously, the minimum brake path "weighed" 180 and 160 points for wet and dry coatings, respectively, and maximum speed at the rearrangement was 160 and 140 points. Now the "wave" is as follows: the maximum for estimating the brake properties is 260 and 240 points (for wet and dry coatings), and for limit speed At the rearrangement - 80 and 60 points. As a result, the ratio of brake properties and manageability turned out to be more balanced and logical in terms of safety. The total "weight" of the brake path on the wet asphalt and dry now is 500 points, and the "weight" of the car behavior during maneuvering - 330 points: this is the sum of the "scales" of the speed at the rearrangement (80 + 60 \u003d 140 points), control rate estimates (80 + 60 \u003d 140 points) and evaluating course stability (50 points).

Due to such changes in the system of final counting, we decided to reduce the border for the title of "good tires" - now it is 840 points.

The first and second places were divided by the tires of Nokian Hakka Green 2 and Pirelli Cinturato P1 Verde, who scored 932 points. These tires are practically devoid of flaws.

Podium This time we have forced to expanded to four places - the third and fourth steps on it were taken by CONTINENTAL CONTIPREMIUMCONTACT 5 and GOODYEAR EfficientGrip Performance, earned 912 points. They are also nothing to reproach, if you do not pay attention to small quirks of experts.

Two more tires have made their way to the category of excellent students (900 points and more) - Hankook Kinergy ECO (910 points) and Nordman SX 2 (904 points). The first one deserves the epithet "The Soft Test Bus", and the second will argue with leaders in handling during extreme maneuvers. The modest price with an excellent outcome result - advantageous purchases!

In the seventh and eighth places there are very good Toyo Proxes CF2 and Kumho Ecowing ES01 tires, scored 892 and 882 points, respectively. Their main drawback is a low level of comfort. If this indicator is not fundamentally important, then ... why not?

The ninth and tenth places are divided by Cordiant Sport 3 and Matador Elite 3, the gooders of our test. They have a lot in common: both tires - the third generation, Russian production and both scored 859 points. And the disadvantages are similar: modest coupling properties and complex handling with extreme maneuvers. But if without fanaticism, you can quite ride. Moreover, Matador is more seductive, since it is cheaper and contributes to saving fuel.

Another good one who scored 848 final points is the GT Radial Champiro FE1 tire. Noisy and tough, does not like extreme maneuvers on a wet road, but saves fuel in any modes no worse than Matador. Yes, and sold inexpensively.

Our rank tabel completes - both in the price and technical sense - frankly budgetable Belshina Artmotion (811 points). However, at the same time it turned out to be better in terms of price and quality ratio. In other words, not so much this tire is worse than competitors as cheaper.
