Summer tire test 205/55 R16 from the publisher Vi Bilagare 2026 p.

Place Model Description / Recommendations Cost
1
Continental ContiPremiumContact 7
Short braking distance and high lateral stability on dry and wet surfaces
Good controllability under load
Stiff ride
Increased rolling resistance
Very balanced tires, effective in any conditions, but at the same time having a not the best level of comfort
from 15 350 
2
Pirelli Cinturato C3
Sharp reactions to steering wheel turns
Good lateral stability and short braking distance in any conditions
High rolling resistance
High noise level
Pirelli are distinguished by their sporting character, which has affected their economy and comfort
from 29 090 
3
Nokian Hakka Blue 3
Excellent performance on wet surfaces
Short braking distance in any conditions
Stable behavior at the limit of grip
Slightly blurred reactions to steering wheel turns on dry pavement
It demonstrates its main advantages on a wet road, but overall it's an excellent option that combines a high level of safety and comfort
from 4 800 
4
Falken Ziex ZE320
Short braking distance and good handling on dry and wet road surfaces
Good ride smoothness
Increased rolling resistance
Good tires with stable performance in any weather, and the only drawback is not the best fuel economy
5
Bridgestone Turanza 6
Good driving characteristics in any conditions
No obvious drawbacks
Increased noise on rough pavement
Compared to the previous generation tires, Turanza 6 has become less sporty and more comfortable, but handling and feedback are just as good
from 10 660 
6
Michelin Primacy 5
Stable and predictable handling, including under load
Relatively long braking distance on dry and wet surfaces
Not the highest lateral stability on wet surfaces
Although in terms of overall grip, the tires are inferior to some competitors, thanks to their stable behavior, they provide ease of handling that is very important in everyday life
from 12 480 
7
Nexen N'Fera Primus
Very high resistance to aquaplaning
Stiff ride
High rolling resistance
The level of grip is generally medium, but Nexen were able to stand out with a very efficient water evacuation from the contact area
from 5 330 
8
Maxxis Premitra HP6
Sharp reactions to steering wheel turns
Good lateral stability
Hard ride
Increased noise
Tendency to skid
Tires are able to respond quickly to the driver's actions, but the behavior lacks harmony and under load, there is a likelihood of skidding
from 4 410 
9
Landsail RapidDragon
Good resistance to aquaplaning
High lateral stability on wet surfaces
Good ride smoothness
Low noise level
Unstable handling under load on dry and wet surfaces
Landsail performed substantially better than what is usually expected from budget tires, but they still compromise handling under load
from 3 900 
10
LingLong Eco Master E
Very low rolling resistance
Insufficient good handling on dry and wet road surfaces
Very long braking distance on dry road surface
Eco-tires Linglong indeed help reduce fuel consumption, but this cannot compensate for the numerous drawbacks, such as extremely low braking efficiency on dry roads
