But with the reservation, that the model has very different places in tests (1st place in the test "Autores", 6th place in the test "Over the wheel" and 9th place in the AUTOBILD test). Its characteristics are best studied separately.

Another model, with reservations suitable for second place - this Nokian.Hakka.BlueAs having a relatively low cost. But at the same time, not the best rating for reviews for Yandexmarket and a large scatter at busy places in tests (2nd place in the test "Over the wheel" and 6th place in the test "Autores", the autobild model did not test at all). The characteristics of the model is also better to explore separately.

Third place You can give the model Michelin.Primacy 3.As having a good rating for reviews to Yandexmarket, but more than those considered above the cost models. As for tests, the model showed the 4th place in the tests "behind the wheel" and "autores", but only 10th place in the AUTOBILD test.

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.

3. TRIANGLE GROUP TR928

One of the most soft products that can only be found in the Russian market. Even on the toughest shock absorbers with ease swallows serious bumps and pits. Moves rather smoothly, the controllability is great. On the asphalt coating, it is simply perfect. The weariness is weak - this is noticeable along the wheel control path: even after 4-5 thousand kilometers, it remains at the same level and is not at all open. The diameters are different, so the tire data will fall on any discs, the same can be said relative to the profile width. Tires are not intended for high speeds - when moving about 140-150 km / h, the deterioration of manageability begins to be felt.

In addition, this product is not suitable for quite heavy cars - this rubber is capable of withstanding a mass of the machine to 900 kg per tire. While the ride is absolutely not noise, it makes a lightweight hum, but it is absolutely not audible on the smooth cover. Well showed itself during braking, including emergency, the brake path is incorrect.

Benefits:

• Low price;
• Almost no noise;
• Weakly wear out;
• Soft;
• Maintains controllability at average speeds;
• The protector is not erased quite a long time.

Disadvantages:

• Not suitable for aggressive driving and off-road.

1. NOKIAN NORDMAN SX2

This product relates to universal models, that is, it is perfectly suitable not only for traditional passenger cars, but also for crossovers. This factor manufacturers managed to achieve due to an increase in the high-speed index and increase the maximum permissible load. Rubber is quite maneuverable, but it is still dangerous to use it at high speeds, but with side loads with sharp turns or, if necessary, the sharp maneuver should be performed perfectly. If the load is excessively high, the side blocks of the autonomous type are connected, as they are separated by transverse slots. This allows you to protect the tires from the side breakdowns.

For ground roads or off-road fascinated, especially after the rain - it can easily get stuck on it. Figure of the protector asymmetric, due to which it was possible to largely increase product characteristics during braking and at a dynamic movement. The level of noise is medium, but it cannot be said that these wheels are too talked. Tires are manufactured based on Silent Groove Design technology, thanks to which the pumile performance becomes significantly lower than the average. Tires based on natural rubber are manufactured, which largely increases tire elasticity.

Benefits:

• Good softness;
• High level of strength;
• Wear resistance;
• Acceptable price;
• Perfectly holds the road.

Disadvantages:

• It happens that the products will be varied by mass, which is why manageability indicators are reduced.

The drainage channels are made quite wide, so moisture practically does not fall to the stain of the contact. This allows you to keep a clutch with an expensive even during heavy rain.

The lamellas of the tread have an unequal depth, so rubber during overclocking and when braking retains its original form and is not transformed. Such an approach extends the service life of products, and also strongly reduces the braking path. As part of rubber, there is a high percentage of silicone, so it has low rolling resistance - this significantly saves fuel.

Benefits:

• Enough quiet;
• Good tread pattern for asphalt coating and dirt road;
• High handling;
• Perfectly copes with peak loads.

Disadvantages:

• With average wear indicators begins to make noise.

2. Kumho Ecsta SPT KU31

The profile has an elevated level of stiffness, so the bus will practically be deformed even during peak loads. It practically does not lose energy during movement, the protector is evenly extensively, so even the worn tires will not affect manageability vehicle. The grooves are made in the form of a zigzag, moisture well from the spots of the contact, reduce the noise and provide tight contact with the coating.

Benefits:

• Almost no noise;
• Good level of security;
• Weakly wear out.

Disadvantages:

• If in a row, it may be unpredictable.

Premium class

3. Toyo Proxes St. III

It is one of the best summer tires 2 years, characterized by a directed protector and intended for sufficiently high speeds. They can be used including sports cars. Such rubber is perfectly engaged with an expensive, steadily holds a coating at high speeds, it is weakly weak even with aggressive driving. Slows down very effectively in any conditions. The tread drawing provides a good balance with any weather. During the movement, the rubber is completely silent due to the use of the technology "acoustic surface".

In the shoulder blocks there are so-called multi-constructive slits, due to which the rubber is perfectly withstanding the side loads, including contact with the border. They are responsible for uniform wear.

Benefits:

• Ideally copes with any road conditions at any speeds;
• Not afraid of hitting a rut;
• Soft, well swallows pits and bumps.

Disadvantages:

• So far I did not warm up slightly noise.

2. Hankook Ventus V12 EVO K110

All positive characteristics of such tires are best noticeable at high speeds - such quality can boast of not every rubber. It is distinguished very attractive external species and a wide profile that provides tight contact with the road surface and a large area of \u200b\u200bstains. This rubber received a lot of positive feedback from professional riders. It was developed with the help of the most modern technologies, the creators paid special attention to the safety, degree of productivity and environmental friendliness of their products. No qualities such as handling and stability were not deprived of attention. Tires are instantly reacting even on minor steering movements, therefore no problems arise with handling.

Products copes well with longitudinal, and with transverse aquaplaning. The water removal system showed itself very efficient. In the protective, you can see the four drainage channels at once. large sizes, Many cuts and notes. The lamellas have minor sizes, so during the ride the noise is not too strong. The protector here is a directional type, in the central part of the continuous, there are no notches on it on it. The side zones have an additional rubber sealing ring, it is possible to prevent the design from the occurrence of side cuts of breakdowns due to impact.

Benefits:

• Rigid sidewall;
• Good wear resistance;
• Attractive appearance.

Disadvantages:

• High price.

1. Michelin Primacy 3

These are the best summer tires The year among all presented today in the Russian market, despite the fact that they were developed back in 2011. In the production process used the most modern technologiesThanks to which it is possible to save greatly on a merry. As part of rubber there is an elastomer, providing good plasticity of products, a special agent that increases the strength level, as well as a synthetic plasticizer. This product is distinguished by the original pattern of the tread, which is a little cut on the edges - it makes wear uniform and increases the contact stain. It has a significant amount of autonomous blocks, which, when inherent on irregularities, will be tightly pressing towards each other.

Figure of the protector asymmetric, it does not allow the effect of the effect of the aquaplamination on the wet or frost-frozen road. Longitudinal grooves easily cope with excess fluid, do not allow driving. The thickness of the lamellas is only 0.2 mm, but at elevated loads, they provide a more dense contact with the road surface. The contact stain is made as large, therefore, even during the execution of emergency maneuvers, the car will not drive aside.

Benefits:

• Low rolling resistance, which ensures fuel savings;
• Almost no noise on the road;
• It behaves on the asphalt coating is quite predictable.

Disadvantages:

• When starting, the clutch with the road.

In conclusion an interesting video

So the end of our overview of the best summer tires of the year is completed. We hope that it turned out to be very useful for you and helped find the most suitable products. If some questions remained unexplained or there are certain difficulties in terms of the selection of rubber, then welcome to the comments to our article.

Summer tires with a diameter of fifteen inches for compact cars are the most massive on the market, because it is the "shoes" of this size most often in Russia is installed on inexpensive cars (both both the B-class and the higher segment "C"). Well, the main reason for the choice of "fifteen-picked tires" is not so much in their "budget", as in comfort and durability during operation russian roads (which in most cases still do not differ in quality). Besides, " high profile"Positively affects the resistance" supplies»Chassis (shock absorbers, silent blocks, ball supports), protecting them from increased shock loads.

Unfortunately, tirens do not often indulge the car enthusiasts in "budget dimensions" - it is understandable, because the "individual" developments and the use of "new technologies" for such tires are not justified from an economic point of view ... Therefore, there are exactly available small-sized models longer than Large (although periodically some manufacturers update their "budget products" in terms of the composition of the mixture and other materials - but this is, first of all, it is done to reduce production costs, and usually, somewhat improves the characteristics of the tires themselves).

Anyway, try to find out - which of the "fifteen-auch tires" is better to choose by the summer of 2017? To answer this question, we conducted a test of a dozen summer tires with a size of 195/65 R15 - from "top" to "frankly budget" options.

The upper "price bar" is asked already "elderly" tires Continental ContipRemiumContact 5 Czech "Origin" and Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance "Rod" from Germany - which are estimated at 3,600 and 3,300 rubles, respectively. Few cheaper cost Pirelli Cinturato P1 Verde (3150 rubles), which are produced in Turkey, as well as enough "Fresh" model Nokian Hakka Green 2 (3200 rubles) with the Russian "Propean" (having an enlarged load index - 95).

At the top of the average price segment, the true Japanese Toyo Proxes CF2 tires were settled and developed in Y.Kore, but those produced in Hungary Hankook Kinergy Eco - both are offered for 2800 rubles. Slightly less (2700 rubles) asking for "fresh" tires Nordman SX 2 domestic production And made in the Middle Kumho Ecowing (2600 rubles).
Not a new domestic rubber Cordiant Sport 3 is located clearly on the border of the budget and medium-government offer - 2500 rubles. Matador elite 3 (2300 rubles), also known as MP 44, will be cheaper than MP 44.

Well, the most accessible participants in the tests were Chinese "shoes" GT Radial Champiro Fe1 and Belarusian Tires Belshina Artmotion (also known as BEL-261): the first are available at a price of 2200 rubles, and the second - 2100 rubles.

For testing of twelve tire sets, a popular golf class car was chosen, and they were held on one of the South Russian polygons at the time when the outdoor air temperature ranged from 22 to 37 degrees Celsius.

Testing of the tires proceeded along the already exhaust scheme, and the initial exercise was the assessment of fuel economy. But for greater correctness of the results, it was preceded by heating tires and knots and aggregates of the car itself - for this purpose, on each of the presented sets, the distance of about ten kilometers on the high-speed ring was covered. Well, so that these races are not invested, the rate stability at a speed of up to 130 km / h, the cabin noise and the smoothness of the stroke were evaluated during them.

Best in Plan currency stability Nokian and Pirelli tire steel - "dressed" in them the car distinguished not only with clear reactions, but also clear, informative steering wheel. Worse than others showed themselves to Cordiant, Belshina, Matador and GT Radial - this four "distinguished" with a wide "zero", low control information, delays in the machine reactions, as well as solid angles of rotation of the "helpers" when adjusting the course.

Measures fuel economy It was carried out on a smooth two-kilometer part of the road into mad weather. But even under such conditions, the races were repeated several times, in order to exclude the influence on the final results of completely all factors. The least "voracious" here were GT Radial and Matador - nearest pursuers, they were ahead at once 0.2 liters per 100 km at 60 and 90 km / h. In turn, Cordiant tires were given the worst indicators: in the "urban" speeds, they lost to the leaders of 0.3 liters, and on the "country" - 0.5 liters.

After these exercises for estimates of comfort A four-kilometer loop was overcome according to the service sections of the polygon, characterized by various irregularities - ranging from cracks and seams on the asphalt and ending with serious Colds. Moreover, each of the tire sets was tested on a strictly defined route at the same speed.
Louder than others noise Belshina, Toyo and Kumho, but they also showed a good result. In addition, GT Radial tires were honored with the comments for the "aircraft hum" when driving on rough asphalt.
In the smoothness of the stroke "On the blades of everyone put" Hankook - on them the car distinguished itself to the safest overcoming of road irregularities. The remaining tires showed themselves a little worse, with the exception of GT Radial - they were the outsiders in this discipline, passing vibrations on the controls and seats from the asphalt, and even passing completely all the shocks from any irregularities.

In addition to the main exercises, all tire kits have been subjected to an additional test, which is not included in the overall offset is the start and movement in the rise with a slope of 12% on the soil coating. The most confident on such a road "row" Cordiant and Matador, while GT Radial, Pirelli, Hankook, Toyo and Kumho are constantly touched by losing cravings.

The next test cycle is a purely asphalt, where the tires had to "rub on a solid coating". And the first exercise - brake on wet asphaltSince the protector is extended to the minimum extent. At the same time, the area on which measurements were made, before each race, was thoroughly cleaned from small pebbles and dust. In addition, one nuance is worth noting here: when the car moved at the speed of 83-85 km / h and was located at a distance of several buildings to the starting point of the braking, its wheels were wetted using mobile springs. The magnitude of the brake path was measured when the speed is reduced from 80 to 5 km / h, and not to the maximum stop - in order to eradicate intervention in the ABS process.
On the wet coverage, the leadership results were demonstrated by Nokian tires, on which it took only 26.2 meters to slow down. On Goodyear's tires, Continental and Pirelli, he migrated on only 0.5 meters, and on Belshina - and left at all for 31 meters (the difference with the "gold medalist" is greater than the body of the machine).

Dry asphalt brakingAlso previously purified from any kind of garbage, was produced from a speed of 103-105 km / h, but the measurement was carried out with a decrease in the speed of from 100 to 5 km / h. In this case, Pirelli was primarily with an indicator of 37.5 meters, and Nokian, Continental and Goodyear tires lost to them, respectively, 1, 0.4 and 0.3 meters. In Outsiders - again Belshina, where the car slowed down as many as 42.9 meters.

The final exercise of steel " rearrangements on wet and dry coverage"- Such a maneuver is the most difficult for drivers. Well, they were performed at the very end for the reason that the tires here was erased like a sandpaper. By itself, the rearrangement is a change of strip in which sharp maneuvering is mimic. And such an exercise is very relevant, because it often has to be used on the usual road in the course of unexpectedly arising over the machine obstacles. It serves to evaluate a set of transverse coupling qualities and inspected by tire characteristics, as well as the clarity of the car reactions.
The task of the test with the rearrangement was to determine the maximum possible speed of its execution. At the same time, the car in this case should not be left limited by the cones of the traffic strip. On the wet asphalt faster than others when changing the strip drove a car, "hooped" in the Goodyear tires - 69 km / h. Only 0.5 km / h Lideras lost to Pirelli and Continental, but Belshina and GT Radial were issued by the "leisure" - 61 km / h and 61.5 km / h, respectively.
The maximum score for manageability on the wet coverage during the rearrangement was received by Nokian, Pirelli, Nordman and Toyo - on them the car "flashed" by understandable behavior and clear reactions. But at the GT Radial Tires, they didn't get down with extreme maneuvering - they unexpectedly carried the car into a skid, and after quite reluctantly restored the trajectory.
On the dry asphalt laurels of the winner were the Nokian tires, allowing the car to develop 69.7 km / h. "Silver" got Continental (69.1 km / h), while Belshina again flew in the angroup (65.9 km / h).
With "extremal" handling on a dry road, the same tires copied to others as in similar discipline on the wet coverage, however, Hankook was still joined. Interestingly, the other - Tires GT Radial here have led themselves very predictable, only slightly leaving the leaders. Well, Outsiders are Belshina and Matador.

What is the result? After all the tests, the first and second places were divided among themselves the Nokian Hakka Green 2 tires and Pirelli Cinturato P1 Verde - which are practically deprived of negative points. Well, the third and fourth positions got Continental ContiPremiUmcontAct 5 and Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance - as a result, four sets of tires were at once on the "conditional pedestal of honor". "The second", by the way, is also particularly not for what to reproach - all their shortcomings are reduced to small testers.

The ninth and tenth of the place of each other shared Cordiant Sport 3 and Matador Elite 3 - they can be attributed to "satisfactory." They showed insufficient coupling properties and complex handling when rearranged. But if you do not reach fanaticism, then the data of the tire is "quite a decent choice." And from the point of view of the economy, Matador is even even more attractive - they are cheaper, and also contribute to fuel economy.

The category "satisfactory" can also be attributed to the Chinese Tires GT Radial Champiro Fe1 - they are not bad to save fuel and are offered at an affordable price. But their flaws are enough - noise, rigidity, low predictability when maneuvering on wet asphalt.

But Belshina Artmotion tires, despite the most attractive price tag - closed the "Tabel about ranks". Although it is worth notifying: despite the whole "bouquet" of the shortcomings, the Belarusian "Rubber" turned out to be ahead of all at the ratio of value and quality. And here you can only say one thing: "They are not so worse than competitors as accessible."
