Spring has come, which means that it has come time to change rubber on his car with winter on the summer. Many motorists faced the problem of choosing such a product, especially since tires strongly affect the safety of movement. Choose tires follows specific rules. In our review, before viewing the best summer tires of 2019, we give the main characteristics relating to this product. So let's get started!

In stores today there is a large number of tires, so it's easy to make a choice simple. A classic rubber is considered a highway - it is designed for general roads. The protector has well-pronounced longitudinal grooves, at the expense of which moisture is quickly assigned to the contact stain. During ride, there are practically no noise. Unfortunately, they are not very suitable for off-road - depending on the type of shock absorber, any irregularities will be strongly felt.

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.

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 to pay attention when choosing 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.

Good models of summer tires in an inexpensive price segment

3. TRIANGLE GROUP TR928

One of the most soft products that can only be found on 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.

2. Yokohama Blu Earth AE01

This product allows to save on fuel consumption - the rolling resistance coefficient is below about 20% compared with the averaged indicators. Products are made from elastic rubber, due to which the contact spot is obtained very large - it provides good grip with a road surface even during rain. Tires are considered very safe, moreover, they are resistant to wear, almost no noisy on asphalt coating.

This summer rubber is manufactured on the basis of an artificial rubber mixture with the addition of natural orange oil and additional use of nanotechnology. Tire weight is 10% lower compared to the average. The design of the sidewall is designed in such a way as to provide excellent aerodynamics. Products are able to pass pretty long distance - the manufacturer declares about 100 thousand kilometers. According to user reviews, this indicator is highly understated, the rubber is capable of listening to up to 200 thousand km.

Benefits:

• Provides excellent clutch with expensive;
• Allows you to further save fuel;
• Good price and quality ratio.

Disadvantages:

• The off-road begins to noise very much, although the bumps are still not felt.

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. The 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, this product is 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.

In the middle price category

3. MICHELIN ENERGY XM2

This is one of the most durable models among all those who entered our overview of the best summer tires, this indicator was made significantly higher than the average largely due to the special Michelin IronFlex TM technology. Fire threads are made on the basis of material with increased strength and elasticity. In addition, the sidewall is also developed otherwise, due to peak loads are distributed over all structure and do not damage the tires. 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

It has treads characterized by uniform wear and low noise. In the process of development, special attention was paid to the clutch with a wet coating. Even with the average degree of wear, the rubber shows the ideal characteristics in terms of safety and comfort. The composition of rubber exactly coincides with the products tested in professional races, so it will be perfectly conducted even at high speeds. In terms of driving, rubber is able to satisfy most car owners.

On the protector there are ring channels, the picture has an elementary V-shaped orientation, but this is not at all reduces the area of \u200b\u200bthe contact spot. Rubber has reliable protection From the aquaplaning on the wet coverage. External channels are additionally equipped with lamellas that retract water. Driving stability is ensured by direct central edge and some asymmetric grooves. The protector blocks are slightly rounded, which allows them to withstand significant loads, including during sharp maneuvers or emergency braking.

Benefits:

• Minor braking path;
• Well behaves on dry and wet asphalt;
• Innovative technology will qualitatively assign water from the contact stain.

Disadvantages:

• A little lameling the smooth movement.

1. Yokohama Geolandar SUV G055

This model belongs to all-season products, however professional drivers Recommend it to be used in the warm season. It can also be used for passenger cars, and for crossovers or SUVs. Despite the fact that the model was developed back in 2012, until today remains at the peak of its popularity not only at the expense of its high performance, but also due to the ability to reduce fuel consumption. In wet weather, tight contact with the road surface is ensured. Rubber is made of a special patented mixture, which is added orange oil and silicon dioxide.

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 the movement, the protector is extended evenly, therefore even worn tires will not affect the controllability of the 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 of 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 of the year among all presented today in the Russian market, despite the fact that they have been developed back in 2011. In the production process, the most modern technologies were used, thanks to which it is possible to save a lot 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.

09.01.2019
Summer tires are designed to provide good adhesion with expensive in soft weather conditions, at temperatures from 7 degrees Celsius and above, on a wet or dry surface. We have studied the most silent and reliable summer tires in size R15, 16 and 17, sorting them by popularity, and reading the reviews of users about a particular model. So the 2019 Summer Tire Rating was compiled, which we offer to your attention for the 2019 season.

10. Pirelli Cinturato P7



Opens our top 10 impressive wagon, with a steady turn and short brake distances on wet and dry surfaces. His advantages include good handling and low noise. Moving along the wet road, Pirelli tires, perhaps, are inferior only to the first number of rating and resist the aquaplaning better than most competitors. As stated in one of the reviews "To the shower, 140 km / h is the tightlock." Disadvantages: at high speed heard buzz. By the way, the winter version of the Pirelli tire - Ice Zero. - He heads the rating of the best studded rubber.

9. Nokian Hakka Blue 2

Excellent option in terms of price and opportunity. Dry SUPE technology allows you to effectively suck water from the road, directing it to the main bus grooves. Thanks to this, Hakka Blue reaches maximum contact with the road surface. If you often go on the rain from the rain to the tracks or urban streets, and think what summer tires to choose to be "cheaper and hopefully", then one of the preferred options is Nokian Hakka Blue 2. On the dry asphalt tires also behave obediently and predictable . This rubber does not distinguish at first frosts, which allows you to exploit it from early spring to late autumn. Noise level is quite comfortable even at high speed. Cons: weak sidewall, high wear.

7. MICHELIN PRIMACY 3

If in the ranking of the best summer tires 2019, R17 did not have other competitors, this rubber would not take the seventh place, but would enter the top 3, due to the high level of clutch on wet surfaces, low fuel consumption, minimal brake path and safe behavior On dry roads. In addition, she is quiet on a good asphalt, shockproof and not afraid of a rut. Miscellaneous: On large and medium-sided asphalt, these tires begin to vibrate, the price of size R17 and higher is high.

6. Nokian Hakka Green 2

"What is the summer tires for 15 better?" - you ask. Answer - Hakka Green 2. Test Summer tires conducted by the magazine "Driving" put this Rubber of Russian production for 1-2 places for the best brake properties on the wet road surface, the best speed when performing "dry" permutations, excellent course stability and good handling With extreme driving. Small comments caused only the comfort of tires, but it will not particularly affect driving.

5. Bridgestone Turanza T001

These wear-resistant tires confidently hold and dry and wet after the rain road even at high speed. They have a strong sidewall, and turns into the Turanza T001 turns "like a knife into the oil." However, most of the reviews it is said that the tires are quite noisy, and she leaves the better aquaplaning resistance. And for off-road tires, they are unlikely to fit, if they stretched into dry weather, they can be stuck on wet.

4. MICHELIN ENERGY XM2

The next in the ranking of summer rubber is quiet, durable and soft tires, which showed itself well in heavy rain. She is withstanding the blow if the car at speed enters the pit where the wheel is high. Wear resistance in this model at an altitude, it is quite possible to roll back 3-4 seasons, while the wear will be less than 50%. Cons: wet grass, ground and dirt Energy XM2 tires are bad.

3. Yokohama BlueArth-A AE-50




What summer tires on R16 is better if the optimal ratio "Cost / Reliability? Our answer is BlueArth-A AE-50. One R16 tire will cost 3,725 rubles, the size R15 is even cheaper. The advantages of rubber: fast start and braking, good adhesion with dry and wet road, decent wear resistance, soft surfaces gently pass. Disadvantages: not noise only at temperatures above 20 degrees, on a gravel coating at a speed above 80 km / h can behave unpredictable.

2. NOKIAN NORDMAN SZ

Solid looking tires that will decorate any car. With external advantages, they still hold well the track (and wet and dry), do not duby at low temperatures, quickly accelerate and brake. Keep even on a dirt road. Nordman SZ tire disadvantage is noise, but it can be used to it. And the price of them is quite high, even in the versions of the size R15.

We do not have everything in Europe with her good roads. For example, there are the most common, it is the initial level for new Golf Class cars. And we usually shovel powerful versions. And this is the most affordable and common tuning: on wide "lapties" even an inexpensive car looks so cool.

There is a demand - there will be a proposal. The choice of such tires in our market is huge. In this dimension, almost all brands are presented - from top to cheap.

Wider circle

For a long time we did not have such a young "team": nine tires from twelve we test for the first time!

Without top models, it is not necessary, after all, they specify the top bar in the final results. To our great regret, did not have time to get to the test new tires and the updated Pirelli P Zero (I had to be content with the model of the previous generation at a price of 8300 rubles per piece, Italian production). But we have a couple of other top new products - Goodyear Eagle F1 ASYMMETRIC 3 (6500 rubles) of German production and Nokian Hakka Blue 2 (6200 rubles). Last while Finnish origin, but in the near future its production will be transferred to Russian Vsevolozhsk.

Matador Hectorra 3, it is MP 47, - Model of the company's budget brand of Continental; Made in France, sold for 5000 rubles. Last year's novelty Nordman SZ Russian "cooking" is slightly cheaper: 4900 rubles. Among the budget - fully domestic Cordiant Sport 3 for 4,700 rubles. The model is not new, but in this sizes only appeared.

The carrier car was chosen to become test participants. The sedan built on the golf platform is almost all shrinniks use in their internal tests, since it is characterized by clear reactions, a good balance sheet balance and a relationship with the driver.

Tests were performed at the end of the summer of 2016. The weather was hot, the air temperature ranged from 22 to 37 degrees. The place of testing is the middle strip of Russia, the Volga region, the AvtoVAZ Polygon, located on the border of the Samara and Ulyanovsk regions.

On your marks

Tests are proceded when the windless weather is installed. We start with the CO, which combines several consecutive tests - it is possible to save time on the permutation of the wheels.

The first and most precise test - assessment of rolling resistance.

The best controllability of the jetty at high speeds provide Pirelli tires: they are perfectly holding a given direction on them, without requiring adjustment, and demonstrates very clear reactions at the slightest steering rotations. At the same time, the tight, tightly poured a ram with excellent informativeness allows even with closed eyes to understand the increasing effort on the steering wheel, as far as you turn the steering wheel and how much the car goes away. Honestly deserved nine points - such an assessment we put extremely rarely!

Belshina was the most uncertain in this exercise - Jetta immediately formed the blurred "zero", became an empty steering wheel, lying on the road. When adjusting the direction - delays in reactions, large corners of the steering wheel and unpleasant swelling of the rear axle in turns - that and looked up to the skid. Usually this effect is given very.

GT Radial, Matador and Nokian turned out to be more economical, and Nokian - with them from Jetta consumption with city and country limits of speed are the most modest. A little paler looks like Jetta on Triangle tires - this model competes with a leading triple only at 60 km / h, and 0.1 l / 100 km is inferior at the "country".

Behind all - Cordiant: He loses the leaders of two "dozens" onto a hundred with a country limit of speed, and four - with urban. Of course, the difference is insignificant, but it is.

Then pit, then ditch

The results are quite natural: wide low-profile tires due to structural features - as a rule, noisy and hard. Therefore, six participants "wondered" only six points, and five earned seven. Eight points (the rating "Norma") was awarded only Nokian (for low noise) and Goodyear (for the smoothness of the course).

GT Radial tires turned out to be tires - impressive shocks and strong vibrations from road irregularities run through the floor of the body, seats and controls. And these are the only tires in which Jetta has.

Before replacing the wheel set, drivers come off with asphalt on a rash primer. Here, on a 12 percent rise, touching and moving with varying degrees of bushing, experts assess the effectiveness of thrust in various modes. This information is useful for those who have a piece of village on the road to the cottage. In the final test, the results do not go - we cite them exclusively for reference.

Confidently all rowing on the soil climb of the tires of Cordiant, Matador, Hankook and Pirelli - everyone got seven points. And more than the rest of Goodyear, GT Radial and Toyo, the experts put five points. Cry can not crawl!

Stay - once, two ...

Evaluation of brake properties is associated with increased wear of tires. Despite the presence, with a sharp braking, the front edges of the checkers are slightly curly. For this reason, first brake on the wet asphalt, where the clutch coefficient is lower, and therefore the tires are less "deteriorating", then repeat the dry test. But the procedures and on the other coating are similar.

The speed of braking on the wet asphalt is 80 km / h, on dry - 100 km / h (these are standard "Veshki" in all bus tests). We finish the measurement when the speed drops to 5 km / h, because at a lower velocity ABS, it works incorrectly - the automation does not always have time to distort the wheels, and the UZ, as is known, lengthens. Fix the length of the braking path with high accuracy allows the VBOX measuring complex that functions, relying on the data of GPS and GLONASS satellites. The main thing is to have a clean sky over your head.

At the braking, Pirelli beats all what is called, in the same gate - and on the wet road, and on dry. On the wet asphalt Nokian repeats its indicator, but it is breathing a little more than a meter at dry, rolling over the fourth position. Turn the second result with a 0.4 meter leader behind the tires of Goodyear. It is noteworthy that according to the results and "dry", and the "wet" braking in the first four gathered the same tires - a Hankook joined the three aforementioned.

The longest brake path on the wet asphalt - tires Matador: they are inferior to the leader of more than four meters. On the dry behind all Cordiant, losing the leader almost four meters.

It is curious that on dry coverage there is a difference between the participants - a little more than 10%. On the wet, the gap is significantly more than 15%. It is a wet asphalt that is a stumbling block when searching for manufacturers of a compromise between the result and costs (development and manufacture of mixtures, the cost of components).

Jumping in the direction

It remains to check how the subjects belong to. On our roads it is extremely important - and otherwise how are the pits to go around? The key to success is rapid reactions on the steering turns, stability and mutual understanding between the driver and the car. To model this situation helps us the "Perestrovka" maneuver, or "one-time strip".

We perform the most short (and, respectively, slow) from the former Girlian exercises to evaluate the car manageability: the length of the corridor in which it is necessary to restructure, is only 12 meters. There are also 16-, 20- and 24-meter "rearrangements", but in the shortest tires are maximally loaded lateral forces, as the maneuver is the sharpest, with large corners of the steering wheel.

Exercise "Perestrovka" perform twice - on wet asphalt and dry. In both cases, the test makes 15-20 repeats, consistently increasing the speed. As a result, we get the maximum value at which the car remains within the inlet corridor, without knocking up the vest. Car speed in the output corridor fixes impartial vbox.

The greatest difficulties with the holding of a car on a wet road arose on tires Cordiant., GT Radial and Matador. Experts noted the delays in reactions, elevated branch turning angles and low informativeness, as well as a dangerous deep skid in the second corridor, requiring the driver of instant pariring steering action.

On dry asphalt it is more difficult to change the lane on Cordiant tires - the comments are the same as on the wet, but the drift is not so deep, although requiring immediate adjustment.

Who will win?

Before summing up, we remind about. This year we raised the weight gain of the brake properties to 500 points (increased to 260 points for wet asphalt and up to 240 - for dry), reducing the weight of the maximum speed on the rear. The total assessment of the behavior of the car, taking into account the course stability, controllability and the speed at the rearrangement, pulls on 330 points. We believe that now the balance between braking and behavior when maneuvering is more logical.

The first place with a significant margin from competitors takes - the most "driver" tires capable of giving pleasure from driving a car in any conditions and modes. If it allows a wallet, and impeccable comfort is not a manic idea, it is the best choice. I wonder what will be the updated Pirelli P Zero tire, which goes into the market this spring?

By typing the same number of points and dividing the third and fourth steps of an extended pedestal, bored goodyear tires Eagle F1 ASYMMETRIC 3 and Hankook Ventus S1 EVO2, also hit in the category of excellent tires. Very similar to one of his own characteristics, comments to both minor. Bowl of weights when choosing can rock in favor of a more affordable hankuk.

In the category "Very good tires»Fallen Toyo Proxes Sport (889 points and fifth), Nordman SZ (882 points) and Dunlop SP Sport FM800 (875 points). In all indicators, right up to comfort, they are very close. But Toyo provides higher coursework stability and is more suitable for long-distance travel, and the primer for all tires is permissible in minimal doses. By the ratio of price and quality Nordman is seductive than the rest.

Last lines occupy tires Matador. Hectorra 3 (834 points) and Cordiant Sport 3 (826 points). They are slightly more expensive than those who occupied higher positions, and at the same time inferior to them. In the asset at Matador - high fuel efficiency, satisfactory course stability and level of comfort, in passive - the most modest brake properties on the wet road. Cordiant boasts a satisfactory clutch on wet asphalt. Confident movement on primer provide both tires.

Test results

Tires are one of the most important factors in ensuring the comfort and safety of any car. N. powerful motorNor a high-speed box will help the car to go quickly and confidently if it has bad tires. Unfortunately, if the need to use high-quality winter rubber understands almost all motorists, then with the summer it is much worse. Many choose the cheapest summer tires, not particularly interested in their characteristics in addition to the price. And someone goes all year round on winter tires. However, there are good reasons why it is impossible to neglect the seasonality of the tires.

First, the summer tires tougher, which allows it not only better to keep the road, but also to wear less. Winter tires at a positive temperature heats up too much, which leads to a rapid "eating" tread.

Secondly, the tread pattern is different. If in the winter it is necessary to have a large number of lamellas to confidently cling to a slippery surface, then in the summer it is more important to maintain stability when aquaplaning, and even better prevent it. In addition, summer rubber protector is less deep, which increases the stability of the car on turns. Finally, summer tires are much more economical and quieter.

If we are talking about the cost, then the largest car, aggressive driving manner, more complex operating conditions - the more expensive the set of rubber will cost. Given the frantic competition among manufacturers, even companies that produce premium products are trying to have several budget options in their line. In any case, in which the price segment was not tires, it is possible to list the main criteria of choice in descending order of significance:

1. Resistance on the road.
2. Aquaplaning resistance.
3. Support driving.
4. Strength.
5. Wear resistance.
6. Efficiency.
7. Noise.

It is worth understanding that there is no absolutely universal rubber. One will better cope with dry asphalt, the other - with wet, the third will be quiet, but not too stable.

• popularity of car owners;
• the number of positive reviews of real buyers;
• tire test results in independent laboratories;
• price-quality ratio.

Best Cheap Summer Tires

In this category - tires, the maximum planting diameter of which does not exceed 17 inches. It is quite natural because budget options rubber are usually bought for inexpensive carswhich, in turn, is rarely equipped with large diameter discs.

In addition, it is worth considering that the best of budget tires There may be good basic characteristics - controllability, grip with wet road, softness, but are intended almost exclusively for riding good asphalt and drivers with restrained driving manner. You should not expect high resistance to wear or exceptionally low noise.

3 TRIANGLE GROUP TR928

The most budgetary
Country: China
The average price: 2,700 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.5

The tire from a purely Chinese company managed to surprise quite a few car owners. Thanks to the alternation of size and step of checkerels, the tire is well cling to the road. Also pleases excellent course stability provided by the central longitudinal edge.

Triangle Group TR928 is a bright confirmation that it cannot be all right away. Due to high rigidity, rubber confidently holds a grip with a road surface and has good reliability, perfectly opposes hernias. But on the other hand - It feels most small irregularities.

2 Yokohama Blu Earth AE01

Sustainable and economical
Country:
Average price: 3 000 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.8

The development of a well-known Japanese brand Yokohama is considered among experienced drivers of one of the most wear-resistant and durable tires in their price segment. Many note the decrease in fuel consumption when using this rubber. Confidently keeps on a dry and wet road at reasonable speed values.

Some owners have insufficient stability on the wet road - it is necessary to significantly reduce the speed. On the primer and grass, these tires do not better exploit, their purpose is asphalt.

What type of tread to choose? Table of comparison of three types of tread patterns: symmetric, asymmetric and directional (V-shaped):

1 Nokian Nordman SX2

Best Comfort Among Cheap Tires
Country: Finland (produced in Russia)
The average price: 3 190 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.9

The main advantage of this rubber, which is noted by almost all buyers - its comfort. Soft tires, have good stability even at high speed. The reverse side of the medal is a quick uniform wear, including excellent roads and a calm driving manner.

The owners mark a small noise and a successful tread pattern, allowing you to confidently feel on the track even in a strong shower and believe that the tires have a wonderful price ratio - quality.

Top Summer Tires Middle Price Categories

Products from the average price segment in the overwhelming majority are the perfect combination of price and quality. No exception and tires. Choosing budget options, you know the mediocre option. Premium tires have excellent parameters, but overpayments are often too high. Figuratively speaking, for obtaining an advantage of 5-10%, you pay more by 30-40%.

Middle class rubber has a fairly good set of characteristics and does not frighten its price. In addition, in contrast to the goods of the budget segment, the tires in this category are not allocated by some one parameter, and have sufficiently balanced characteristics.

4 Toyo Proxes CF2

Best handling
Country: Country of Origin: Japan (produced in Malaysia)
The average price: 4 850 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.6

Due to the specially designed pattern of the tread and the competently selected composition of the materials, the tires of this model are stable and quiet. At the same time, the majority of buyers who have already time to try it for several seasons, it is definitely going to buy the next set of the same brand.

It should be noted that the best of all these tires are adapted to move on good asphalt. In such conditions, they perfectly behave both dry and wet roads - excellent clutch and no aquaplaning. If there are pits on the way or other obstacles, care should be caution - the board of the tires are soft enough, which is positively affected by comfort, but lowers strength.

3 Michelin Energy Xm2

High strength of the sidewall
Country: France
The average price: 3 862 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.7

One of the quietest summer tires of the middle segment can be attributed to Michelin Energy XM2. Almost every car owner, lizing the advantages of Michelin Energy XM2, indicates their low noise. Distinguishes this model and the increased strength of the sidewall, which is very important when driving on Russian roads.
