ADAC: Summer Tire Test R15 2017

16 summer tires of the widely used dimension 195/65 R 15 91 V for low-middle-range cars, the ADAC has thoroughly tested this year. Five tire models recommend the ADAC judgment "good". A broad midfield of ten test candidates with more or less pronounced single or multiple weaknesses reaps the verdict "satisfying". The tire model with the clearest deficiencies concludes the ADAC summer tire test with the judgment "sufficient".
