Comparison of summer tires for crossovers. Top Summer Tires Overview Summer Rubber Driving YouTube

Fifteen tires for small cars are the most massive. Most of the class B and even with the "sixteenth" and larger wheels on our market are mainly in the budget "fifteenth" size. And it's not only at lower prices of such shoes. On our roads, tires with a higher profile are more comfortable and more durable. Moreover, they protect the suspension consumables (ball supports, silent blocks, shock absorbers) from high shock loads, extending their lives.

In March 2018, a similar summer tire test was released at the wheel of 2018.

What and how much?

Alas, new products in budget dimensions. New developments in this segment are economically unprofitable, therefore it is very rare. Shinniki, as a rule, longer hold inexpensive small-sized models on the conveyor, rather than larger. Some companies slightly reproduce the tires composition of the mixture and other materials, and often not so much for the sake of improving the characteristics, how much to reduce production costs.

Some companies reproduce tires composition of the mixture often not so much for the sake of improving the characteristics, how much to reduce production costs.

The highest price bar is kept top, but not new models of Continental ContipremiUmcontAct 5 (3600 rubles aged) of Czech production and Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance (3400 rubles), made in Germany. Slightly cheaper you can buy Pirelli Cinturato Pi Verde tires (3150 rubles) manufactured in Turkey, and a completely fresh model of Nokian Hakka Green 2 (3200 rubles) of domestic production. The latter, by the way, can boast not only Russian citizenship, but also an increased load index: 95.

The average price segment opens more democratic tires (2800 rubles) - the real Japanese Toyo Proxes CF2 and the renewed Tire Hankook Kinergy ECO Korean development, but produced in Hungary. Slightly cheaper will cost a fresh model

Nordman SX 2 (2700 rubles) of Russian production and Kumho Ecowing ES01 (2600 rubles), made in China.

The price of not a new domestic tire Cordiant Sport 3 (2500 rubles) lies on the border between budget and medium-value proposals. Cheaper (2300 rubles) Sell a fairly fresh model of Matador Elite 3 (it is MP 44) produced in Russia.

We could not refuse to our readers in the request to test Chinese products - they are the Tire Champiro FE1 of the company GT Radial, which can be bought for 2,200 rubles. And closes the test dozen Belarusian Belshina Artmotion, it is BEL-261. Its average price in online stores is 2100 rubles per piece.

The test machine was assigned a "Czech" named Skoda Octavia. Tests were performed at the AvtoVAZ test site, near Togliatti. The time is hot August and September 2016. Air during tests warmed up to 22-37 degrees.

Funshit on the polygon

Our approach to testing has not changed since last year. Recall briefly the test method.

The initial exercise is an assessment of fuel economy. Previously, it is necessary to warm up the tires, as well as the aggregates and knots of the car. On each set of tires we drive ten kilometers across the speed ring. In parallel, we estimate the course stability of the machine at high speed (up to 130 km / h), the smoothness of the stroke and inner noise.

The highest estimates on the Octavia coursework received on Nokian and Pirelli tires, conquering experts with clear reactions and a dense, informative steering wheel.

Pale all in this test looked Belshina, Cordiant, GT Radial and Matador. Remarks are different: from a wide "zero" (the car walks out of side to the side with the constant position of the ram) and the lack of informativeness of the steering to delays in the reactions of the machine, the need to rotate the steering wheel to large angles when the course is adjusted and even dangerous rear axle is adjusted. . For coursework stability, this four earned only six points.

Load limits and speed

For passenger tires dimension 195/65 R15, manufacturers consider the standard load index 91 (615 kg per wheel). Some produce bush lifting tires - with an index 95 (690 kg); To attract attention to their marking, add XL letters, which means "Increased loading capacity" (Extra Load).

With speed indexes, everything is also not easy. If five or ten years ago, the tires of such a dimension had the index N (up to 210 km / h), now they become more rapid, as evidenced by the frequent appearance of the V (up to 240 / km / h).

Recall that the constructive distinction of tires with unequal high-speed indices lies in different tensile strength under the action of the maximum for each speed limit of centrifugal forces.

And the tires with different load indexes differ in the ability to carry different loads.

In our company, eleven participants from twelve have a "standard" load index -91. Increased lifting capacity flames only Nokian Hakka Green 2 - if any car will need tires with load index 95, Hakki rivals will remain with the nose. High-speed indicators were distributed as follows: Seven tires have an "old" for this size of the high-speed limit H (210 km / h), and five are more modern V (240 km / h). For our high-speed restrictions and for the technical capabilities of many inexpensive cars, even the index N grabs with a margin.

Measurement measurements are carried out in glacial weather on a horizontal two-kilometer road section, several times repeating races in both directions to neutralize the possible effect of even a light breeze.

GT Radial and Matador tires gave odds to everyone else, including those that were the most economical in our previous tests. The separation from the nearest competitors is 0.2 l / 100 km at a speed of 60 and 90 km / h. The most immodest consumption of Octavia has shown on Cordiant tires: the leaders' backlog was 0.3 l / 100 km at 60 km / h and 0.5 l / 100 km at 90 km / h.

After measurements, we make a four-kilometer loop on the service roads of the landfill, continuing to evaluate the comfort on various irregularities - from seams and cracks on the asphalt to serious chosen. Each set of tires rolling strictly one by the same route and at the same speed.

Now about noise. The maximum eight points experts did not give anyone, eight participants earned seven. Belshina, Kumho and Tuo rustled louder, therefore they deserve no more six, and GT Radial tires for the aircraft hum on the rough asphalt raised to five points.

In the smoothness of the stroke, there was no equal Hankook tires - the desirable OCTAVIA in them is softerly passes road irregularities. Almost all the other tires earned seven and six, and the GT Radial tires and here were the most uncomfortable - they are transferred to the controls and seats of vibration from cracks and road seams, causing a trembling on rough asphalt, and also skip hard shoes from any irregularities.

Then we turn with the asphalt to the primer with a slope of 12%, where we appreciate the confidence of the troggy and movement in the rise. We repeat the passages with different degrees of bucks to evaluate the clutch drop at the time of breaking the wheels in the slip. This exercise is optional, its results are not included in the overall test. We hold it at the request of our readers - to understand how the tires behave on the primer.

Better than the rest on the ground rise "row" Cordiant and Matador. And more than others are dropped, losing cravings, GT Radial, Hankook, Kumho, Pirelli and Toyo. Such roads are clearly not their bitch.

Stop, car!

There is a turn to lose the wheels about the asphalt. Since on each set of tires will have to perform several exercises, begin with the test, during which the protector is erased to the minimum degree - from braking on wet asphalt. The trajectory before measurements thoroughly purify from dust and small pebbles with twenty-grade braking at non-verbal tires.

Our mobile irrigation system consists of a motor-pump, a set of rotary sprinklers, long hoses and a five-toll water barrel in a trailer, which drags Chevrolet Niva technique. The first spray is so that the car shakes the wheel at a distance of two or three housings to the initial point of braking. It is suitable for the machine at a speed of 83-85 km / h. The VBOX measuring complex fixes the magnitude of the brake path when the speed is reduced from 80 to 5 km / h, and not until a complete stop, as at low speeds (from 5 km / h to zero) ABS often triggered, wheels can be blocked and the braking path will increase . The driver strikes the brake pedal (after tapping a clutch) at the time of crossing the line designated cones, and waits for the car to stop completely. Such a test tester repeats six to eight times. And I do not forget to cool the brakes on the way to the start of the start - moving at a speed of 40-50 km / h and slowing down only by the engine.

On a wet road, Nokian tires were best shown: the Oktavia brake path was 26.2 meters. No more than half the meter on it rigged into the tires Continental, Goodyear and Pirelli. The longest brake path gave Belshina: 31 meters. The difference with the leader is more car housing!

The next day is braked on dry asphalt. Once again, clean the coating before measurements. On each set of tires, inhibit five to six times from the speed of Yuz, 105 km / h, and it is measured from 100 to 5 km / h at a drop in speed from 100 to 5 km / h (according to such a scheme, the brake properties of cars and tires all automotive world). And one more important difference between the "dry" braking from "wet": cool the brakes longer - you need to lengthen the cooling loop by several hundred meters.

Here, Pirelli is broken here with a result of 37.5 meters. Nokian is inferior to almost meter, Continental and Goodyear - 0.4 and 0.3 meters, respectively. Belshina again in Outsiders: With a result of 42.9 meters, it loses the leader almost five and a half meters.

Playing checkers

The final exercises - the surrender on the wet of the coating and dry - the most complex for leaders tests. In the final phase of tests, they are performed because the rubber here is erased as emery.

Rearruding, or change of traffic, is an exercise that imitating extreme maneuvering. The most common cause is a sharp change of strip - an obstacle that occurs on the road, which you have to travel at speeds. Usually come across this in completely unexpected places when only one way out remains - dramatically rebuilt. In this exercise, a complex of transverse coupling properties and insistence of tire characteristics, clarity of the car reactions on tires data are estimated.

The dimensions of the test corridor dictated life: on our roads the standard lane width is three and a half meters. But in the weekend we find the corridor cones so that with every attempt the car went through the same trajectory. It is necessary to rebuilt on the next strip on a path of only 12 meters long (in the past it is a standard exercise that Soviet GOST) was determined.

Tesser's task - to choose the maximum possible exercise rate. The car should not bring down a single cone, which are limited by the lanes. The speed in the input corridor in the same point measures the impartial VBOX. And the test driver during extreme maneuvering evaluates handling.

Usually, on each set of tires, the test takes 15-20 approaches, reaching the maximum speed and trying to repeat the limit result, in order to make sure that it is not accidental.

On the wet transposition Octavia was the fastest on the Goodyear tires (69 km / h). "Support Group" - Pirelli and Continental, on which the speed of execution of the maneuver fell only by 0.5 km / h. The most leopard - Belshina (61 km / h), and it was a tire of GT Radial (61.5 km / h).

Eight points for handling on a wet road during rearrangement experts gave Nokian, Nordman, Pirelli and Toyo tires: Skoda on these tires showed clear reactions and understandable behavior. Worse than others tolerate extreme maneuvering GT Radial. On them, Octavia somehow unexpectedly sailed into a deep skid, slid long and restored the trajectory reluctantly. If the machine is shod in these tires, we do not advise you to turn the steering wheel sharply - you can lose it.

Nokian tires won on dry asphalt - 69.7 km / h. The smallest is behind Continental - 69.1 km / h. And at the opposite end - again Belshina with a result of 65.9 km / h.

After checking the "extreme" manageability on a dry road, the alignment has changed a bit. The eights were awarded the same tires as on a wet road, - Nokian, Nordman, Pirelli and Toyo.

And the Hankook joined them. It is noteworthy that the behavior of the Tires GT Radial on the dry road experts were assessed significantly higher (seven points) than on wet. Belshina and Matador were weak-precious in such conditions, which earned only six points: delays in reactions, large steering angles, excess turning (tendency to drift) in the second corridor.

Rules Ball

This season, we slightly upgraded the system of counting the final points.

Previously, the minimum brake path "weighed" 180 and 160 points for wet and dry coatings, respectively, and maximum speed at the rearrangement was 160 and 140 points. Now the "waving" is as follows: the maximum for assessing the brake properties is 260 and 240 points (for wet and dry coatings), and for the limiting speed on the rearrangement - 80 and 60 points. As a result, the ratio of brake properties and manageability turned out to be more balanced and logical in terms of safety. The total "weight" of the brake path on the wet asphalt and dry now is 500 points, and the "weight" of the car behavior during maneuvering - 330 points: this is the sum of the "scales" of the speed at the rearrangement (80 + 60 \u003d 140 points), control rate estimates (80 + 60 \u003d 140 points) and evaluating course stability (50 points).

Due to such changes in the system of final counting, we decided to reduce the border for the title of "good tires" - now it is 840 points.

What is mine in the ranking?

The first and second places were divided by the tires of Nokian Hakka Green 2 and Pirelli Cinturato Pi Verde, scored NO 932 points. These tires are practically devoid of flaws.

Podium This time we have forced to expanded to four places - the third and fourth steps on it were taken by CONTINENTAL CONTIPREMIUMCONTACT 5 and GOODYEAR EfficientGrip Performance, earned 912 points. They are also nothing to reproach, if you do not pay attention to small quirks of experts.

Two more tires have made their way to the category of excellent students (900 points and more) - Hankook Kinergy ECO (910 points) and Nordman SX 2 (904 points). The first one deserves the epithet "The Soft Test Bus", and the second will argue with leaders in handling during extreme maneuvers. The modest price with an excellent outcome result - advantageous purchases!

In the seventh and eighth places there are very good Toyo Proxes CF2 and Kumho Ecowing ES01 tires, scored 892 and 882 points, respectively. Their main drawback is a low level of comfort. If this indicator is not fundamentally important, then ... why not?

Tire arrangement in terms of price and quality ratio

The ninth and tenth places are divided by Cordiant Sport 3 and Matador Elite 3, the gooders of our test. They have a lot in common: both tires - the third generation, Russian production and both scored 859 points. And the disadvantages are similar: modest coupling properties and complex handling with extreme maneuvers. But if without fanaticism, you can quite ride. Moreover, Matador is more seductive, since it is cheaper and contributes to saving fuel.

Another good one who scored 848 final points is the GT Radial Champiro FE1 tire. Noisy and tough, does not like extreme maneuvers on a wet road, but saves fuel in any modes no worse than Matador. Yes, and sold inexpensively.

Our rank tabel completes - both in the price and technical sense - frankly budgetable Belshina Artmotion (811 points). However, at the same time it turned out to be better in terms of price and quality ratio. In other words, not so much this tire is worse than competitors as cheaper.

Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin Re003

This sports tire is positioned in the Premium / Premium Standard segment. The focus during its development was given to braking and manageability on a wet coating and controllability on a dry coating. There was no attention to the engineers of Bridgestone and the characteristic sport design of the tread. Compared to the predecessor, (overview of this model we wrote a little earlier), the improvement of the controllability is largely achieved thanks to the new base tread sheet based on Silica. The shape of the block with rounded edges contributes to a uniform pressure distribution in the contact spot, and the optimized frame structure made it possible to reduce the weight of the tire while maintaining the strength. All this provides a more predictable and smooth response of the tire of the tire. As a result of implemented innovations, the stability of the tire on the turnover arc, resistance to the aquaplating, accuracy of controlling the car. Also improved braking indicators on wet coverage.

Dueler H / P Sport

Tires of this model are designed specifically for SUVs and premium crossovers and are mainly focused on movement along the highway and in urban conditions. Asymmetric tread pattern (on models over 19 inches) and high silicon content in the protector layer, determine the good grip with a wet road surface. As the basic used pattern of the Totenza Re 050 of the sports model of the sports model, which provides a high level of controllability both on dry and wet road surface. Optimized tread pattern also makes this tire comfortable and determines the low noise level. The use of molds with trimming technology allows the sidewall of the tire to remain black.

In this model, the strengths of the predecessor, the DUE LER A / T 694 model, and the level of comfort is improved. From the design features of the tire, it is possible to note the seamless combination of shoulder blocks and soils that form a holistic shoulder zone, and the reinforced sidewall effectively distributes the load and improves cut resistance. The streamlined shape of the grooves of the central part of the tread efficiently removes water, providing clutch and improving car control on a wet road. The tire is produced in 26 sizes with 60-85 profiles and the planting diameters from 15 to 18 inches.

Bridgestone Ecopia EP 850

The main cars for which this tire is intended - SUVs and crossovers of medium and compact class, such as Honda CRV, Lexus RX and Toyota RAV4. The company developers have changed the pattern of the tread and the shape of the grooves using the weight distribution optimization technology. The pointed form of block allows you to smoothly distribute the pressure, so that the deformation is minimized when braking, which, in turn, provides high adhesion with a wet road. The recycled shoulder blocks provide a flat spancy of contact on various road surfaces - from high-speed highways to difficult locality. Following the principles of environmental norms, the tire provides fuel efficiency, low noise and wear resistance. The ECOPIA EP 850 model is represented in 32 sizes with a profile height of 50-75 and the planting diameters from 15 to 19 inches.

Continental PremiumContAct 6.

This new summer tire, the German concern fills segments from 17 to 21 diameters, which includes both classic cars and cars with sports character and SUVs. New tires combine comfort, accurate handling, high security and efficiency. In the latter case, this applies to both the resource of the tire and fuel economy. To obtain the above characteristics, Continental engineers have developed a new rubber mixture, an innovative design, based on the high-tech SportContact 6 bus, and a modern tread pattern. The result was a product, a number of characteristics of which was improved by 15%. Tires will be produced in 70 sizes with landing diameters from 17 to 21 inches.

Continental Crosscontact Atr.

Starting in the production of this new tire, developed both for road traffic and off-road, the range of CONTINENTAL tires for SUV class cars is fully formed. For a good clutch in off-road conditions, developers have endowed a tire with special "clutch teeth" between grooves, as well as open tread pattern with lots of lamella. Such a design creates an additional traction force and reliable grip on loose coatings. The tires are available in 21 samples with planting diameters from 15 to 20 inches, wide from 205 to 275 and a profile height from 40 to 80. The CrossContact ATR model is certified for movement at a speed of up to 240 km / h. When the traffic ratio is road / off-road as 70/30, this model is located between the CONTICROSSCONTACT AT (80/20) off-road bus and tires for preferential use on roads, such as CONTICROSSCONTACT LX 2 (80/20) and PremiumContact 6.

Continental SportContact 6.

This tire significantly exceeds the tires of the previous generation according to such indicators as handling, the accuracy of the steering reaction and stability when driving at high speeds. In a number of positions, the characteristics were improved to 14%. Almost anew the composition of the rubber mixture of the tread, its drawing and the tire design itself were developed. This season, the range of tires replenished with 43 articles and now has 97 names, including with Contisilent technologies (internal sound insulation) and SSR (reinforced sidewall).

ContinentalContiecocontact 5.

This light tire combines a short brake path on wet and dry coating with low rolling resistance. In the process of its development, the change was made in almost every element, which made it possible to reduce the resistance to rolling by 20% (fuel consumption, compared with standard tires decreased by about 3%) and increase the tire's speakers by 12%. This tire, suitable for a wide range of cars, is offered in versions with the planting diameters from 14 to 20 inches and with a speed index of up to 300 km / h.

CORDIANT SPORT 3.

The tire is specifically created for Russian operating conditions and demonstrates high stability and confident handling even in the most difficult road situations. For the Cordiant Sport 3 model, a number of technologies have been developed that are aimed at solving problems common on Russian roads, such as safety when moving on a wet road. Improved drainage system with polished grooves Webbing an efficient water removal from a tire contact spot with an expensive. Arc-shaped grooves prevent the appearance of an aquaplaning effect. Cordiant developers drew attention to maneuverability on any coating: the reinforced central ribs allow to reduce the reaction time when driving, and the massive wheels of the tread increase controlling the rotations. The new rubber mixture of the tread enhances the depreciation on the irregularities and defects of the road surface. The Cordiant Sport 3 tire line is presented in the most mass sizes, including 7 reinforced sizes 16-18 "for crossovers.

Firestone Touring FS 100

In 1988, Firestone was acquired by the Bridgestone bin brand, but the name of the glorious brand was preserved. The concept of the Touring FS 100 model produced in Thailand and Indonesia, the manufacturers themselves are defined as follows: Available tire with a high level of safety on a dry and wet road and with the balance of reliability and comfort. Due to the rounded edges of the sidewall, the pressure over the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe tread block is evenly distributed, which is positively affected by both controllability on a dry and wet coating and in braking efficiency. The combination of the variable size of the block and its position in the tread pattern helps evenly distribute noise frequencies, providing sound comfort. The frame with an enhanced nylon bandage has increased strength, which helps to reduce vibrations. The bus is represented in three sizes (next season their number will increase to 22) with a height of the profile of 60-70 and the planting diameters 13 and 14 inches.

GT RADIAL FE1 CITY

The city tire, created in the center of research and development of the company in Hannover, was decorated with a silhouette of Cologne, testifying to its European origins. Fe1 City is characterized by durability and confident handling on wet and dry coating and is focused on Cars of Class A-C. Its main advantages include an enhanced design that protects against damage during contact with potholes, borders and artificial irregularities, as well as a new rubber mixture, which improves potential speakers and facilitating maneuvering, braking and acceleration at low and medium speed. The tire is represented in 16 sizes with the planting diameters from 13 to 16 inches and the indexes of the H, T and V.

GT Radial Sportactive SUV

The main features of this new premium tire have become a new composition of the rubber tread mix, special grooves of increased width and the original design of the tread blocks. The applied innovations allowed to reduce the braking path on the dry and wet coating, improve the grip on the wet road and increase the resistance to the aquaplating, and the increased stiffness of the blocks increased the control accuracy. The tire is represented in seven sizes with landing diameters of 18 and 19 inches and with the velocity indices V and W.

Hankook Kinergy Eco (K 425)

One of the main tasks of developers of this tire has become comfort. The combination of five bulk checkers with slots and serifs located in the shoulder zone reduces the formation of noise while driving. The transverse grooves improve the craving and braking, and also contribute to the effective water removal of the contact stain. The special design of the drainage system provides an effective water removal and aquaplaning resistance. The tire is represented in 33 sizes with landing diameters from 13 to 16 inches.

Hankook Ventus Prime 3 (K 125)

The basis of the ideology of this tire is a balance between performance and safety. Optimized tread pattern provides high handling, efficient traction, braking and resistance to aquaplaning. The hybrid tread rigidity contributes to the accuracy and informativeness of the steering. The low noise level is achieved due to the optimized design of the inner edge and special pattern on the sidewalls that reduces turbulence and vibration. The tire is represented in 22 sizes with the planting diameters from 15 to 18 inches.

Hankook Ventus V12 EVO 2 (K 120)

In addition to a significant improvement in all operational parameters, when creating this tire, one of the key factors was an increase in environmental characteristics. Three-dimensional blocks have a targeted design, which was designed for improved water oat. The multiradius protector, created by "racing" technology, in combination with an exceptionally rigid, but extremely light steel cord provides the optimal shape of the tire contact with experts with extreme loads. Thanks to the use of silicon oxide nanoparticles in the tread in combination with the optimization of the stiffness of the blocks across the entire width of the protector, the brake path on the wet and dry coating was reduced by 5% compared with the previous model. The use of styrene polymers in the rubber mixture provides improved characteristics on a wet coating under reduced rolling resistance. The cooling system with additional edges at the base of the tread grooves provides rapid heat dissipation to improve the characteristics of the controllability and increasing the wear resistance of the tire. To enhance the comfort of the tire equipped with an aerodynamic profile, which reduces the noise and emphasizes the sporty design of the model.

Hankook Ventus S12 EVO 2 SUV (K 117A)

The Ultra High Performance class bus for SUVs and crossovers is created using technologies for the DTM series racing tires. The multiradius tread technology provides high resistance to Aqua planning and optimal coupling with an expensive. The three-layer design of the tread blocks (also created "based on" DTM racing) with the "smart" blocks of the outer fin increases the tire contact spot with an expense. The tire is made using the last generation of rubber mixtures with an optimized transverse bond of atoms, which helps to improve wear characteristics and resistance to thermal aging. The new formula of polymer nanocomponents is responsible for high tire characteristics on a wet road and reduces rolling resistance. Special notches in the tread zone of the tread create turbulent air micropovers during movement. Cooling ribs in drainage grooves also improve heat exchange during rolling.

Hankook Dynapro HP2 (RA 33)

The tire is designed for SUV class cars. Four longitudinal grooves effectively disassemble water and provide confident resistance to aquaplaning. The acoustic lamella of the original form reduce the noise level. Increased rigidity of the central edge increases the accuracy and informativeness of the steering. The tire is represented in 53 sizes with the landing diameters from 15 to 22 inches.

Hankook Dynapro AT-M (RF 10)

Ovg-high premium tire. The wave-like lamellas form the edge effect, improve the thrust, grip and braking in all directions. The z-shaped location of the tread blocks improves the traction and clutch. A stepped form of grooves provides effective self-cleaning, including cleaning from stones.

Hankook Dynapro MT (RT 03)

Off-road tire, multidirectional V-shaped tread blocks and a broken blocks of the shoulder zone of which provide effective traction when driving in any direction. The open design of the shoulder zone of this model contributes to good purification even in difficult off-road conditions.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4S

This tire is a new year of this season. It provides a number of such important characteristics as a quick response to the steering wheel, a high level of control accuracy, coursework and coupling qualities both dry and wet coverage. This was achieved through the use of a number of advanced technologies. Thus, the application of Dynamic Response technology allows to maintain the stability of the contact spots on ultra-high speeds, Bicompound technology, which provides for the use of two different rubber mixture compositions for the inner and outer parts of the tread, provides optimal tire adhesion from the road both dry and on the wet coverage. And the improved composition of the rubber mixture increased wear resistance. New Michelin Pilot Sport 4S is already equipped in the primary configuration such cars like Porsche Panamera new generation, new Mercedes AMG E63, Ferrari GTC Lusso. This year, the tire will be presented for the replacement market in 34 sizes with the landing diameters of 19 and 20 inches. In the future, the dimension range will be replenished with new sizes.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4

Tire for premium and sports versions of serial cars. High Characteristics In the controllability on the dry coating were achieved through the use of an additional layer of super-duty aramid-nylon threads in the design of the additional layer, which allows the bus to maintain a stable spot of contact at high speeds. The tighter structure of the tread also stabilizes the contact stain, allowing you to confidently make maneuvers at high speeds. The "functional elastomers" of a new generation, which are part of the rubber mixture, are able to "copy" the shape of the roadway, providing the optimal level of clutch on the wet road. Deep longitudinal channels effectively disassemble water from the contact spot, significantly reducing the risk of aquaplaning. PREMIUM TOUCH technology gives the external sidewall to the premium "velvet effect". Also, for each size, it is provided for the presence of a disk rim protecting the onboard zone from the thieves. This season, the size range of the model was replenished with ten new sizes. Thus, the number of sizes is now 34 with landing diameters from 17 to 19 inches.

Michelin Latitude Sport 3

This is the third generation of tires created for powerful and sports SUVs. Engineers managed to achieve not only the reduction in the braking path on the wet coating by 2.7 meters, compared to the previous generation tire, but also significantly improve model's function, its strength and handling. The increased width of the drainage channels provides effective water removal and confident clutch on the wet coating, increasing the threshold for the start of aquaplaning. Additional strength and reduction of the risk of damage to the tires on the roads with a poor coating provides a double frame in the tire design. The rubber mixture using the combination of the elastomers of the last generation and the silica allows you to achieve high wear resistance while maintaining the optimal level of coupling properties and fuel efficiency. In 2017, the tire is represented in 44 sizes with landing diameters from 17 to 21 inches.

Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2

This model still has an exclusive oligation for supercars such as Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS-Coupe Black Series, Ferrari 458 Speciale and Aston Martin Valkyrie. Now the updated Porsche Carrera 911 GT3 and Audi R8 of the new generation is also added to this list. When moving on a racing track, the tire has a fast response to the driver's actions, a reliable grip and stability of the characteristics of the circle around the circle. The latter is due to the composition of the rubber mixture, which retains its properties even with a strong heating. The tire also demonstrates high grip indicators on a wet road both in transverse and in the longitudinal direction, and resistance to aquaplaning. The model is available in 33 sizes with landing diameters from 17 to 21 inches.

Michelin Crossclimate +.

This season, Michelin presents an updated version of the Crossclimate tire, which became the first representative of the new class "Summer +". The new tire significantly extends the service life from early spring to late autumn and is designed to provide a high level of security during the off-season. The main improvements in the novelties touched the coupling properties on the snow cover. The optimal level of clutch with the road, including on a snow-covered, provides a new rubber mixture. The innovative compound also increases the wear resistance of the tire. The tire tread shape has a directional structure with a large number of sectors separated by wide drainage channels. The original form of each of the sectors changing the angle of location allows the edges of the blocks to work efficiently both during acceleration and when performing a maneuver on a snow-covered. At the same time, the other side of the block, having smoothed edges, provides a stable area of \u200b\u200bthe contact spot when driving along the solid surface of the road. The brachial zone lamellas have structures expanding to the bottom, which, as the tread wear, retains the tire's ability to effectively remove water, and the Z-shaped lamellas of the central part make it possible to reduce the deformation of the tread blocks, which improves the bus controllability. The CrossCLimate + model will completely replace the predecessor from 15 to 18 the landing diameter and will be presented in 36 sizes. In addition, this year, the bus is available in 13 sizes for crossovers.

The range of sizes Hakka Blue 2 varies with the planting diameters from 15 to 17 inches and includes models with velocity indices V and W.

Nokian Hakka Black SUV

This sports tire is the result of almost four years of development. At the heart of the design of the tread asymmetric pattern, which has a beneficial effect on the accuracy of management both on high-speed highways and on roads with a rough coating. The rigid shoulder zones are combined with large tread bribes, which, in turn, are connected by longitudinal ribs. Thus, the tread blocks are less prone to deformations, which improves the handling of turns. Shoulder zones with asymmetric bevel angles of tilt grooves help make management more predictable and logical. A number of innovations are used and to increase the tire resistance to aquaplaning. These are the feathers passing through the ribs in the center area, and extended grooves in the area of \u200b\u200bthe shoulder zones, and wide polished main grooves. A rubber mixture that works well in a wide range of temperatures is optimized for intensive operation and high speeds.

The new ecological mixture using silica particles provides confident adhesion with wet dear and low rolling resistance at any temperatures. Adding to the rubber mixture of pine oil increases the wear resistance of the tire. In the construction of the tire, the solution is also used traditional for the Hakka line - hemispherical cavities in the walls of the tread ribs, reminiscent of the recesses on the surface of the golf ball. Innovation reduces the external tire noise while driving. The range of tire sizes varies from 13 to 16 inches and includes products with velocity indices T and H.

Pirelli P Zero.

This tire is an Italian company presented in spring last year. According to the developers themselves, the new tire feature is the maximum stability even at the highest speeds. The technology, the essence of which lies in the use of a particularly rigid rubber mixture in the board zone, appeared due to the experience of developments and production of tires for Formula 1 racing. Such a solution provides the fastest and accurate response to the steering movement without losing clutch in the transverse direction. The use of another special technology made it possible to make contact stain more flat, which contributes to greater wear uniformity and increasing the durability of the tire. The increased number of tread grooves, as well as the recess and expansion of the channels allowed a 10% increase in the volume of water allocated from the contact spot, which increased the tire resistance to the aquaplaning. A special drawing of the tread also allowed to reduce the noise level published by the tire. A number of new solutions used in the development and production of new items allowed 15% to reduce the resistance to rolling, which significantly affects the fuel efficiency. Today, under the same name P Zero produces three different from the technical point of view of the tire option, and each of these options is designed for a specific type of car. For machines with more pronounced sports characteristics, a variant with a less relief protector is provided (A), the second option (c) is more suitable for sedans. The third tread pattern (C) is similar to racing slick and designed specifically for the new tire P Zero Corsa.

Pirelli Cinturato P7.

"Green" tire for middle and executive cars. The environmental safety sign applied to the sideline indicates that only natural materials that do not contain aromatic oils are used as part of the rubber mixture. When the tire is started, the solutions applied in its design and pattern of the tread, allowed almost 30% to reduce the noise level, and reduce the braking path on dry and wet coating, respectively, 1 and 2 meters. The tire is represented in 41 sizes (including RUN FLAT - 53) with the planting diameters from 16 to 19 inches and a width of 205 to 275 mm.

Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season M + S

TIGAR ULTRA HIGH PERFORMANCE

This tire is designed for mid-class car drivers who prefer a dynamic ride. Longitudinal and transverse drainage channels effectively remove water from the contact spot, which provides a high level of clutch not only on dry, but also on wet coating, and massive shoulder zone blocks contribute to good manageability. In addition, when developing a tire, a new composition of the rubber mixture was applied with the addition of silica, which made it possible to achieve a high level of wear resistance, as well as reduce the level of resistance to rolling. Also, a feature of the new tire is the presence of a disk rim in all sizes. The new Tigar Ultra High Performance came to replace the TIGAR Syneris tire and will completely replace the predecessor over time. This year, the tire is available in 25 sizes with landing diameters from 17 to 19 inches.

Toyo Proxes ST3.

A new summer high-speed new generation model for SUV classes, CUV and pickup cars, which came to replace the Proxes ST2 model and intended for operation predominantly in urban conditions and on the highway. The novelty has a spectacular sport design and has a directed tread pattern, which provides a high level of coursework stability and improved characteristics on the wet coating. The original form of blocks in the form of a parallelogram and a special composition of the rubber mixture provide additional stiffness of the blocks, which contributes to their stability while driving. The stiffness of the blocks also increase the 3D lamellas. These solutions provide a stable contact spot and contribute to a confident clutch on a dry road. The construction of the tire in which the latest technology is used (a unwitting slotting layer, a double breke layer with high strength threads, a two-layer frame, a side of a wheel rim), provides a high level of comfort and safety when driving both dry and wet road. The tire is represented in 40 sizes with landing diameters from 16 to 24 inches.

Toyo Proxes Sport

The new flagship in the Toyo Tires line, created in response to key requirements for tires of powerful cars: High speed control and clutch on a wet road. At the same time, the developers of the company Toyo Tires have tried to provide these characteristics without prejudice to such indicators as the movement of comfort and tires. When developing Proxes Sport in Toyo Tires to improve the properties of the rubber mixture, used Nano Balance technology. This technology allows you to simulate and analyze the interaction of the mixture components at the nano-level and mix the components with high accuracy. As a result, it turns out a more elastic, wear-resistant mixture and decreases the tire rolling resistance. The construction of the tire, as designed using the most advanced technologies, in combination with the optimized pattern of the tread, provide a clearer steering, which allows you to get the truth driving pleasure. In the current season, the tire is represented by a limited range of 5 sizes, but already next season the model will be available in a wide range (more than 44 sizes) with landing diameters from 17 to 20 inches.

TOYO OPEN COUNTRY A / T +

The premium bus for crossovers and SUVs differ in both aggressive design and high characteristics. Came to replace the first generation model. The new model replaced the composition of the rubber mixture, the design of the tread and sidewalls, which made it possible to improve most of the characteristics of the predecessor (handling on dry and wet road, acoustic comfort, rolling resistance coefficient). The model is suitable for operation both in urban conditions and for light off-road. Presented in 45 sizes with the landing diameters from 15 to 20 inches.

Experienced drivers are known how important the safety tires are on the road. The selection of tires on the car affects the controllability, the length of the braking path and other indicators. Today, manufacturers offer different options for passenger cars and a serious range of tires for crossover 2020, as the previous ones, presented comparative tests on this subject.

Choice of tires for a car is like buying a wedding ring for the bride

The owners of the car have the opportunity to read ratings and reviews about the quality of rubber from influential publications. In 2020 "Over the wheel" and other solid experts have already managed to publish reviews and conclusions, which options today are the attention of motorists.

How to choose a tire for the summer?

There are a number of features that will affect the driver, what better to choose tires for the summer for a car of a particular brand. When buying a tire rating is important and makes a choice conscious, but it is worth assessing the following criteria:

• Structure. From what rubber is used in production, a number of such factors as the wear resistance of tires, fuel saving, car handling are depends. At the same time, to ensure maximum indicators in all respects it is impossible - the driver makes a decision which of them are prioritized and focused on them. The tire for cars includes rubber, silicates, soot, oils and other components that have a positive effect on the adherence with the road, the friction coefficient, etc. Material for summer variants than for winter. This is due to the features of the ride and temperature transformations that occur in the material.

The perfect tire can not be by definition

• Tread pattern. The operational characteristics of the tires depend on how deep the depressions between the profile convexities are as far as they are wide, what is the direction of the pattern, etc. If you are interested in sports races, the profile is better to choose with a large area of \u200b\u200bthe contact site. From this depends on the stability of the devices and the low noise level. For off-road driving, a rarellied profile with large cups is chosen - they are needed on the crossed terrain, but on a solid coating show itself unsatisfactory.

Car tire tread pattern

The following types of drawings are on sale:

• Untentive symmetric - This kind is headed by any rating of budget options and is most often found. It does not depend on which direction is the rotation and what are the conditions of operation. It provides serious versatility, but requires careful driving. Such products are installed on cars that do not differ in power and high-speed characteristics.

Asymmetrical pattern of tread

• Directional symmetric - The direction of rotation is played here. It must be taken into account in order to not create dangerous situations where the tire drawing is working to harm, and not benefit.

Directional pattern of tread

• Asymmetric - Good choice for rain and for dry weather. It is important to the correct installation in which the tires shows the best qualities. This option increases the resistance of the car and the maneuverable reliability.

Asymmetrical tread pattern

• Depth of the pattern. He strongly affects how the car behaves on the wet road. In the treads that are denoted by "Rain", the grooves are cut for water removal from the contact area. Well, the drawing in the form of the letter "V" is suitable for dry weather, but it is not suitable for wet road.

How to read tire marking

• Marking. Tires contain labeling, which tells in detail about the structural features and characteristics. In the documentation for the Auto indicated, products with which marking are recommended for installation.

How to choose winter tires?

Winter tires according to characteristics differs from summer - this is manifested in such elements as a tread pattern, and in the properties of the material itself. At low temperatures, summer tires freezes and becomes hard - it significantly worsens the obedience of the car. Therefore, during this period of the year, articles made of soft material.

Tires produce two types - studded and immaculated. Their comparison cannot be carried out in the "What is better" plane. Tests show that the selection of one or another variant depends on the operating conditions. It is believed that aluminum or plastic spikes improve the car's permeability on the ice and the rolled snow, but it is not entirely true - there are cases when the "Velcro" on the ice behaves better than spikes.

Recently, choose the best winter tires, focusing only on ratings compiled by popular magazines, has become illogical

The parameters for which it is worth paying attention to when buying winter options, the same as tires for summer - the composition of rubber, tread pattern, tread depth, marking.

Here is information about the tires you need to know:

• Riding on winter tires at temperatures above +5 0 C is prohibited - the material that is not designed for such operating conditions is melted;
• If you install studded tires - put them on all wheels, otherwise the danger of drift in emergency braking increases;

• If you are looking for a protector for an SUV - look at the load index and on the tread pattern, it will depend on whether you are planning to ride in the city or off-road.
• Theoretically, you can install the protectors with different characteristics on different axis in the monodvoda car. However, this is strictly prohibited, if we are talking about a full-wheel drive car - here any variety is unacceptable and will lead to a dangerous situation on the road.
• Be the first hundred kilometers on winter tires, be careful - it should be rushed.
• Tire parameters Always choose according to those recommended by the manufacturers of your car. They are usually indicated in the technical documentation.

Rating of the best tires for summer

After we reviewed the main characteristics that affect the choice of rubber, let's look at what summer tires of 2020 received the best results in tests. We present to your attention the rating of Russian experts, among which the authoritative edition of the "Ruttle" and other trustworthy masters. This is a rating of untapped tires that are designed for summer. First, we present three positions of the best tires of the class "Premium":

• Michelinprimacy 3. - The product with an asymmetric type protector, which gives elevated security guarantees in the rain and in dry weather, on the direct track and on the devias. It is headed by a summer rubber rating of 2020, since at the proper level there are almost all indicators:

1. Coupling with expensive;
2. Braking indicator;
3. Excellent car handling;
4. Wear resistance;
5. Low rolling resistance, which has a positive effect on the economy of fuel;
6. Lateral stability;
7. Soft progress.

Michelin Primacy 3 205/55 R16 91V

The only lack of experts consider the high cost of such a tread. Brand Michelin is one of the most solid and popular, so there is nothing surprising that it was he who headed the tire manufacturers rating.

• Hankook Ventus V12 EVO K110 - The number of sizes of products of this manufacturer is very large. Products of this brand are distinguished by many positive characteristics:

1. Good adhesiveness;
2. Aquaplaning resistance;
3. Stability;
4. Durability;
5. Good obedience;
6. Strength;
7. Excellent quality and price ratio.

Summer tire HANKOOK VENTUS V12 EVO K110

From the disadvantages here we can talk about insufficient manageability during the rain and the likelihood of driving with the devias.

• Toyo Proxes T1-R - This is a good option for high-speed lovers. The Japanese, as usual, were at the height - thanks to computer modeling and a series of special tests, their products have a number of serious advantages:

1. Road coating cloudy;
2. Good handling;
3. Stability;
4. Lack of aquaplaning;
5. No noise;
6. Little brake path length;
7. Stability.

Summer Toyo Proxes T1-R

Of the disadvantages, you can note the quick abrasability of the profile and a somewhat overestimated price.

Summer tire review would be incomplete if there was no top best products in the middle price category. Meet the leaders of the tire rating for the summer 2020:

• Continental Conti Premium Contact 5 - This rubber has received decent estimates of many independent experts. They estimated the level of clutch with a road surface - wet and dry, excellent ability to slow down and low rolling resistance, which saves fuel. On the turns, this protector behaves very stable and confidently, the drawing is made in such a way that we can talk about the resilience of aquaplaning. He is silent, provides good handling, but it is quickly engaged, as a result of which is not recommended with an aggressive ride style.

Continental ContipRemiumContact 5 195/60 R15 88H

• Bridgestone Turanza T001 - A novelty from the famous brand, which in all indicators is much higher than the predecessor. High resistance to aquaplaning, good clutch rates with road surface, durability, efficiency and wear resistance - thanks to these advantages This option enjoys very serious demand among motorists. In addition, manufacturers managed to reduce the noise level, which was a problem in the previous version. However, this option does not suit the hard suspension and is not suitable for the operation of tires on dirt roads.

Rubber Bridgestone Turanza T001

• DUNLOP SPORT BLU RESPONSE - Here you can talk about good braking, high adhesion, manageability and no noise. The drawing of the asymmetric type and the special chemical composition of the material increase operational characteristics, provide a soft comfortable ride and high wear resistance.

Car Tire Dunlop Sport Bloresponse

Some noted as a lack that such rubber is required to heat up, otherwise it is too tough.

• Nokian Hakka Green. - In the heat, such products behave in the best way, but at temperatures from 10 to 25 degrees above zero shows itself quite well. It can be noted good adhesiveness, low noise, good handling, aquaplaning resistance. The properties of the material have a positive effect on the efficiency of fuel consumption and resistance to shock loads.

Nokian Hakka Green 175/70 R13 82T

From disadvantages, you can mark a few rapid wear and roll, if you rebuild at high speed.

Conclusion

Perhaps the recommendations given in this article and tire reviews of 2020 will help you choose the option that best suits your goals. In any case, avoid purchasing cheap products of unknown brands. It is better to pay somewhat more expensive, but avoid the disappointment of low operational performance characteristics.

Many car owners underestimate the importance of changing tires in accordance with the season. And if it is clear that in winter, in cold weather, an improved clutch on ice and snow roads is necessary, then the need to use special rubber in the summer is not understood.

However, there are reasons for changing the tires on the summer simply necessary:

• Too soft at high temperatures, which reduces controllability and increases the braking path;
• soft winter tires are quickly wearing hot asphalt;
• using winter tires in summer increases fuel consumption.

Thus, the main characteristics on which we choose the tires are the ability to remove heat and wear resistance. Also, the best summer tires for crossovers should be good to dirt and water for normal moving on off-road, have a good grip on the hot asphalt and during the rain.

For many indicators, the BFGoodrich G-Grip model can be boldly called the best tires for the summer in the category of crossover 2019. At the cost of modification with a diameter of 17 centimeters (235/45R1794Y) of about 5,700 rubles, this is the perfect option by value / quality ratio. The tire is characterized by a unique design and a thoughtful location of the blocks. Rubber perfectly proven itself on a wet / dry track. The famous American manufacturer has a lot of money invests in research, so all its products, including this model, is manufactured using modern computer technology. The tread pattern has a pronounced orientation, due to which the effect of aquaplaning is not manifested under any circumstances. It should also be noted the high quality of the tire blocks located in the shoulder zone, which guarantees a very high responsiveness of the wheels on manipulation with the steering wheel.

Bridgestone Potenza S001.

An excellent high-speed summer oriental tire, characterized by improved comfort characteristics and silent ride. The cost is not the smallest - model with parameters 215 / 40R17 / 87Y costs from 11,200 rubles. But these tires, to be honest, are worthwhile. The presence of sufficiently wide grooves contributes to a high-quality water removal. The edges of the blocks have an acute edge capable of literally dissecting waterflaws, reducing the risk to a minimum to fall into the aquaplaning. The rigidity of the side of the rubber provides excellent stability / controllability of the crossover regardless of the speed of movement. It is impossible not to mention the central rib of tires, which improves the stability of the machine when driving at very high speeds.

This model belongs to the category of medium price tires (modification 235/55 R17 99Y costs from 7200 rubles), but at the same time it has decent characteristics at a fairly high resource. The third place in the ranking of the best summer tires for crossovers 2019, the model received quite deservedly. Like other best class representatives, Toyo Proxes T1 Sport has a wide central edge and large-scale blocks. The resistance of the command on the track is complemented by the presence of an extensive drainage web, which is responsible for the rapid removal of water. Self-locking lamellas are another advantage of a tire having a high-speed index y that allows you to move at a speed of up to 300 kilometers / hour, withsting the load of about 780 kg. According to the reviews of domestic car owners, the tire does not like bad roads, which wears faster than the usual.

Michelin Latitude Cross

Considering the 2019 rating of the best summer rubber for crossovers, we cannot pass by the model, which is at the cost of the intermediate position between premium and middle price segments. So, the cost of the tire with the index 225/75 R16 108H8500 starts from the mark of 7800 rubles. These tires cannot be called high-speed (the index H shows that they are calculated by a maximum of 210 km / h), but for the crossover of this more than enough. But the load index of these is 108 units, that is, they are able to withstand a load of 1 thousand kilograms. Rubber is characterized by stable behavior on the roads with any type of surface, regardless of weather conditions. The tread pattern is selected in such a way as to reduce wear as much as possible not to the detriment of the operational parameters. Users note the possibility of fuel economy and excellent tire control. What such a tire does not like - these are trips on the roads in need of the grader.

Dunlop SP Sport Maxx

This model also has also earned a high place in the top of summer tires for crossover 2019 due to excellent coursework, regardless of the state of the vehicles. At a cost of 6150 rubles, modification 215/55 R16 93Y is distinguished by the presence of a very strong sidewall with kevlar inserts, confident braking, work relatively quiet. High-speed (y index), demonstrate a great balance of coupling characteristics. Among the disadvantages it should be noted not better wear resistance. If you are a lover of a comfortable ride - do not count on such tires: they are quite rigid. But, repeat, for its segment it is one of the best products, both in terms of cost and by the main operational characteristics.

If you use your off-road crossover relatively rarely, this model of summer rubber can be the optimal choice for you. In the list of the best tires of 2019 for summer in the Hakka Black 2SUV crossover segment, in our version, occupies the sixth place. For 8900 rubles, you get a high-speed and comfortable rubber at dry concrete, which on a dry concrete keeps the road is not worse than the premium Continental ContiPremiUmcontact Tire 5. However, it will not be on the wet asphalt. Very good smoothness rate, at the level of Michelin Latitude Sport, but at the same time very noisy, it is one of the main flaws of the model (like the entire "two-side" series). On off-road feel confident. What else can be said about this model? Wear resistance is not from the best - up to 30 thousand are still normal, and then problems are possible, but it's lucky. If you stop your summer rubber selection for the crossover on Hakka Black 2SUV, we advise you to buy only native (made in Finland) Tires - the quality of tires produced in other countries can really face you.

Continental ContipRemiumContact 5 SUV

For lovers of a comfortable ride, this summer tire, without exaggeration, will be an excellent choice. Moreover, along with the amazing softness of driving on dry / wet coating, the model is characterized by an excellent clutch coefficient with a roadpapers. It can be guaranteed that it will be one of the quietest tires that you met in your life. However, as it always happens in life, every dignity turns into any disadvantage. In this case, it is unambiguous to assume that once the rubber is soft, then not too durable. So it is: a real resource - about 30 thousand kilometers. Well, and with durability, too, there are problems, so if you go to bad roads, why do you need soft, if you risk getting a "hernia" when you get into a serious pit?

Michelin Latitude Sport 3

Yes, you are not mistaken. These are summer tires, and they are intended for crossovers. And, despite the presence of the word "Sport", the speed index is not at all sports (V, up to 240 km / h). So in the ranking of summer tires for crossovers of dimension R18, these tires are present absolutely natural, being a direct competitor of the previous model from Continental. In other words, the characteristics of these tires are almost identical - this is the highest softness, striking silence, excellent grip with a coating of any type.

And, of course, the same disadvantages are a low resource and frankly weak strength parameters. The sidewalls are here, right for example, slips, so if you love to lean to borders, you will have to leave this habit in the past. But there is a good news? Unlike ContipRemiUmcontAct 5, this tire wear resistance is higher - it will have to change it on average every 40,000 kilometers.

Goodyear EfficientGrip SUV.

If you need a comfortable rubber, which has a sufficiently strong sidewall, and at the same time you are constrained in the means, your choice is the EfficientGrip SUV model. The softness of the move here is such that you will feel as if you drive in an expensive sedan, and the impressions will be the same in terms of noise. But the main thing is a hard sidewall that allows you to not think about security when driving in urban conditions. In short, it is a good middle journal, including in terms of cost (from 6500 rubles). There is a feature - too broad grooves, because of which pebbles drop directly on the wheeled arches. Buying a set of such rubber, take care of the purchase of the subsidence and make a high-quality insulation of the arches.

Japanese tires in the recommendations do not need, but the cost is impressive (almost 10 thousand rubles), the most expensive tires in our ranking of summer tires for crossovers. And for the money you buy far from the most ideal product. With a number of excellent characteristics (it is well holding a rut, any puddles overcome well, simply not noticing them, demonstrates rapid braking on a wet / dry asphalt or concrete, there is a solid sidewall, there are no problems with aquaplaning) is characterized by increased noise. In general, all the Japanese, if you compare them with similar European tires, more noisy. If noise and high cost for you do not matter - Well, it is very good tires in all other parameters.

Toyo Proxes CF2 SUV

Another good option at a sleeper value (7400 rubles). Users say good handover of tires, their ability to keep a rut even at very high speeds when entering enough turns. Comfortable, perfectly opposed aquaplaning. Unlike many "one-brings", characterized by a tread pattern, which is not stronger. Not bad and off-road "skills." But dramatically changes its properties, in cold weather. At temperatures below plus 5 degrees becomes noisy and rigid, that is, it is a tire for southern regions of the country. As for the sidewall, they are enhanced here. Summarizing the foregoing, it can be said that in the ranking of summer tires for crossovers of this model there is always a place.

Hankook Ventus S1 Evo2SUV K117A

At the cost of 6,200 rubles, it is a decent Korean analogue of classmates from Michelin. The road keeps on a wet and dry highway on solid "4". This is also a middle pepper. It is possible to single out that the softness of the stroke is especially rolling. Braking of special complaints does not cause. But a very significant disadvantage is a weak resource. Many noted that the limit for these tires is 15 thousand kilometers. It is not surprising that in the ranking of summer tires for the 2019 crossovers Ventus S1 R17 is by no means leading.

Kumho HP91

Available tires that are not distinguished by outstanding characteristics. Interesting can be called a solution to the problem of lateral cord - it is not hard here. And yet, the blows holds very confident. At a cost of 6300 rubles for a modification of 265/65 R17 112V, this is a completely acceptable option - tasty, but it is a standing mileage of about 40000-50000 kilometers. Yes, there are problems related to coupling properties, especially in rainy weather. The noise is also decent. Not the best choice if there are no problems with finance.

Cordiant Comfort 2SUV.

One of the most budget options (from 4900 rubles). You can call this rubber with a domestic analogue of Continental ContipRemiumContact 5SUV. It is as comfortable and mild, but much less wear-resistant. In addition, the road keeps not so good, it can break into the banks much earlier than analogues. Low noise, but is subject to mechanical effects. In short, the most affordable model for the price.

A worthy competitor of the previous model in price, but not in quality. If the modification R16 costs from 5400 rubles, then R19 - 11000, but these are the best summer tires for crossovers in the lower price segment. Well manifest themselves with a calm ride, but do not like speed and wet road. Unlike the Black Series, it does not oppose aquaplaning, but has a stronger "shoulders". Demonstrates the magnificent smoothness of the course without prejudice to manageability. And again, acquire only "Finn", rubber produced in Russia may disappear for the second year of operation.
