Tests of new summer tires 2013/2014

  Pros

• Excellent braking properties on dry and wet asphalt
• Excellent road holding at high speed
• Extreme maneuvers can be performed at high speed on both dry and wet asphalt
• Brake better than others on wet asphalt
• Low noise level

  Cons

• Somewhat stiff

  Pros

• Minimal braking distance on wet and dry asphalt
• Excellent road holding at high speed
• Extreme maneuvers can be performed at high speed, but slightly inferior to Nokian in this component
• Low noise level on good road surfaces

  Cons

• Feel any road irregularities

  Pros

• Good braking properties on dry asphalt
• Excellent road holding at high speed on dry and wet asphalt
• Can perform sharp lane changes at high speed on dry roads
• Low noise level on good road surfaces
• Economical both outside the city and in the city

  Cons

• Average braking distance on wet roads
• Feel any road irregularities

  Pros

• Good braking properties on dry asphalt
• On wet roads, braking performance is close to the test leaders
• Hold the road well, but having a wide "zero", when changing lanes, they respond to steering with a delay
• The car performs lane change maneuvers excellently on wet roads. In this indicator, Hankook is on par with the leaders
• Silent and soft on good surfaces

  Cons

• Directional stability could be better

  Pros

• Good braking on dry and wet asphalt
• Good directional stability, however, there are delays when changing lanes and a vague "zero"
• Silent and quite soft

  Cons

• There is a slight tendency to skid
• On a "cut-up" road, the car vibrates

  Pros

• Good braking properties on dry asphalt
• Low noise level

  Cons

• Braking on wet asphalt could be more effective
• At high speed, poor directional stability, unclear "zero"
• When performing extreme maneuvers on dry roads, speed has to be limited due to skidding
• Low ride comfort

  Pros

• Hold the course clearly at high speed, but lane change maneuver is hindered by a wide "zero" and delayed response to steering
• Silence and comfort on roads of any quality
• Economical

  Cons

• During sharp maneuvers on dry or wet asphalt, speed is limited by low feedback
• Tendency to skid
• Average speed on wet roads

  Pros

• Good steering response
• Maneuvering is possible at high speed. Speed is limited by sharp skidding, but the car can be straightened with a quick reaction. Good steering feedback will help
• The same is typical for wet roads

  Cons

• Poor braking results on wet and dry asphalt
• Noisy
• Stiff
• Increased fuel consumption on suburban roads

  Pros

• Quiet and soft
• Economical

  Cons

• Poor test results on wet and dry asphalt
• At high speed, the car is unstable, poor steering response and wide "zero"
• Prone to skidding on dry roads when changing lanes
• Even more skidding on slippery roads

  Pros

• Brake satisfactorily on wet asphalt

  Cons

• Braking on dry roads is unsatisfactory
•  Unclear "zero", delayed reactions, at high speeds constant course correction is required
• Extreme maneuvering on dry roads is difficult. Speed is limited by the danger of deep skidding
• Noisy and stiff
• Increased fuel consumption

  Pros

• Quiet

  Cons

• Braking is unsatisfactory, the difference with the leader is 5.8 m.
• Lack of "steering feel" on wet roads, speed is limited by deep skidding
• Extreme maneuvers are possible at a noticeably lower speed than others
• Do not hold the course quite clearly on a straight line
• Stiff
• Increased fuel consumption
