2	Bridgestone Potenza Sport Short braking distance, good handling and high lateral stability on wet pavement Short braking distance and good handling on dry pavement High rolling resistance Tires are distinguished by excellent driving characteristics, especially on a wet surface	from 11 550 ₽
3	Hankook K137 Ventus evo Good handling on wet surfaces High resistance to aquaplaning High level of comfort Relatively low lateral stability on wet surface Insufficiently good handling on dry surface, which is due to the overall lack of traction Very comfortable tires, working effectively on wet roads, but the indicators on dry pavement require improvement	from 10 290 ₽
4	Michelin Pilot Sport 5 High lateral stability and short braking distance on wet roads Excellent resistance to aquaplaning Low rolling resistance Relatively long braking distance and not the best handling on dry pavement Reduced level of comfort Michelin performs very stable, although they had not the best result in terms of lap time. Not the most comfortable, but help to save fuel	from 16 640 ₽
5	Kumho Ecsta Sport PS72 Very quiet and comfortable Low rolling resistance Relatively long braking distance on dry and wet surfaces Reduced lateral stability on wet surfaces Poor resistance to aquaplaning Economical and comfortable tires that provide decent handling in any weather conditions, which allowed them to outperform competitors from more renowned brands	from 9 300 ₽
6	Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 High resistance to longitudinal aquaplaning Relatively low rolling resistance Low level of comfort While Goodyear may be surpassed by newer models from competitors, they perform very consistently and don't present any unpleasant surprises	from 14 240 ₽
7	Continental ContiSportContact 7 Short braking distance and good handling on dry pavement Low rolling resistance Reduced resistance to lateral aquaplaning Reduced level of comfort Less good handling on wet surfaces A quality tire that performs well on dry asphalt, but lags behind some competitors on wet surfaces, which speaks to the level of competition in the market	from 16 640 ₽
