Summer Tire Test 225/55 R18 from the publisher Al Volante 2025 p.

Place Model Description / Recommendations Cost
1
Pirelli Cinturato C3
Good balance of characteristics
Good handling in any conditions
Very high grip on wet road
Low rolling resistance
Acceptable noise level
A very balanced summer tire that works well on dry pavement and provides excellent handling on wet roads, while also combining a high level of safety with good fuel economy
from 29 090 
2
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6
Very high resistance to aquaplaning
High grip on wet surfaces
Short braking distance in any conditions
Low noise level
High rolling resistance
Tires are reliable on all types of surfaces, and their distinctive feature, which directly affects safety, is an extremely high resistance to aquaplaning. Goodyear will not save on fuel, but they and belong to the category of sports tires category UHP, for which the level of grip is a priority.

3
Continental ContiPremiumContact 7
Very short braking distance on dry and wet surfaces
Good handling on wet surfaces
Relatively low resistance to longitudinal aquaplaning
Increased rolling resistance
Very effective in terms of braking in any weather, and on a wet road also provide excellent handling, while on a dry one there is a certain tendency to sharp loss of traction. It is also worth considering not the best resistance to aquaplaning on a straight

4
Michelin Primacy 5
A sufficiently short braking distance on a wet surface
High resistance to lateral aquaplaning
Excellent acoustic comfort
Very low rolling resistance
Average braking efficiency on dry pavement
Slightly slowed reactions to steering wheel turns
They have an outstanding balance between grip and economy, but due to the slowed response to the driver's actions, they are unlikely to suit fans of dynamic driving
from 12 480 
5
Firestone Roadhawk 2
Good balance of characteristics
High resistance to longitudinal aquaplaning
Very low rolling resistance
Long braking distance on wet surface
High noise level
Tires without obvious drawbacks, while the main advantage is excellent fuel savings. Overall, they work reliably on any surfaces, including during emergency maneuvers, so an acceptable level of safety is provided, but they concede to premium-class tires in terms of grip.
6
Hankook K135 Ventus Prime 4
Low rolling resistance
Average braking efficiency on dry pavement
Relatively low resistance to lateral aquaplaning
Very high noise level
Mid-range tires that show average results in most parameters. They behave generally stable, but lose in terms of traction to products of a higher class and, in addition to this, are very noisy
from 4 990 
7
Austone SP303
Low price
Long braking distance and poor handling on dry and wet surfaces
Very weak resistance to aquaplaning
High rolling resistance
Budget tires that increase the braking distance and have a tendency to sudden loss of traction in any conditions, so they are hardly worthy of recommendation
