summer tire test . The ranking of the best tires in 2015 has already been published.
Testing and Evaluation Methodology
• This methodology was developed by the Automobile Club of Europe (ACE) in cooperation with the German Technical Inspection Organization (GTU).
• Venue: Pirelli training ground in Italy. Braking on dry and wet pavement from 80 to 20 km/h with determination of the braking distance. Hydroplaning test on track with 7mm. layer of water. Wet grip is rated at an average speed of 80 m circles. Noise levels are rated according to ECE R117. The cost of tires was also evaluated in terms of price / quality ratio.

Summer tire rating:
10Apollo Aspire 4G
High-tech tires of the fourth generation provide controllability of the car on any road. The tread pattern ensures moisture wicking, while the rubber compound ensures reliable traction.
9. Kumho Solus HS51
The test of summer tires included not only models of European brands. Korean tires Kumho Tires will suit even those drivers who prefer an aggressive driving style. Reinforced tire construction guarantees the stability of the contact patch during any maneuvers. The rubber compound has a high silica content.
8. Hankook Ventus S1 evo2 K117
Wide longitudinal grooves on the tread provide unhindered movement on wet surfaces. The staggered grooves on the tires act as wear indicators and also help clean the tread.
7. Barum Bravuris 3 HM

4. Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2
The latest developments from Goodyear technologists have reduced noise levels, improved grip and reduced fuel consumption, because. The lightweight design of the tire helps reduce the amount of energy needed to overcome rolling resistance.
3.Pirelli PZero
