Very balanced summer tires with top marks on dry and wet roads.

Model is characterized by efficient braking performance, crisp steering response, and high resistance to wear.

The third place was scored by the leader in braking efficiency during the qualification round, the Michelin Pilot Sport 4. In the final round, in addition to the shortest braking distance, this model demonstrated crisp steering response and excellent handling capabilities. The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 lost its chance to make a clean sweep of the competition because of its high price and insufficiently competitive treadwear.

The summer tire Vredestein Ultrac Vorti was praised for excellent handling capabilities and crisp steering response both in the wet and in the dry, as well as for its fair price.

The Apollo Aspire XP was noted for well-balanced performance, effective braking, high treadwear, and compelling price.

The Nexen N’Fera Sport fully demonstrated its strong sides on dry pavement, but it was also quite convincing in the wet. In addition, the test experts appreciated its smooth ride and low noise emission. It only weak side was increased rolling resistance.

The Falken Azenis FK510 model, which scored the seventh place, got an «Exemplary» verdict, just as all of the above-mentioned models. When testing the Falken tires, the experts did not elicit any significant drawbacks. The list of their doubtless strong sides includes: well-balanced performance both in the wet and in the dry, consistent handling response, short braking distance on wet pavement, low noise emission, high treadwear, and compelling price.

The Nokian Powerproof, scored only the eighth place. Crisp steering response, consistent handling feedback, and efficient braking on wet and dry pavements — everything was spoiled by low resistance to wear.

The Firestone tires has good results on wet pavement. High treadwear.

The Fulda model showed itself to the best advantage in the dry. High treadwear.

Bridgestone Potenza S001 occupied the eleventh line of the tournament bracket. The reasons for that were quite trivial: high rolling resistance and low treadwear

The twelfth place was scored by the Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 with its good hydroplaning resistance but limited treadlife, which were just a little bit better than the new model of the season.

The budget Laufenn S Fit EQ+ (the thirteenth place) with low rolling resistance and insufficient handling response on wet pavement.

The tires Dunlop Sport Maxx RT2 has short braking distance on dry pavement, the fourteenth place.

The Kleber Dyxnaxer UHP has high treadwear, the fifteenth place.

The Uniroyal RainSport 3 (fuel-efficient rolling resistance, the sixteenths place).

The Kumho Ecsta PS71, which occupied the seventeenth place in the final standings, nonetheless demonstrated good traction on wet pavement and excellent hydroplaning resistance.

The Maxxis Victra Sport 5 model distinguished itself with dynamic handling, good hydroplaning resistance, and efficient braking performance. In two other tests, this tire scored the third place — Motor (2019, 235/35 ZR19) and ADAC (2020, 225/40 R18). Here, however, it only took the eighteenth place.

The nineteenth place in the final standings of the Auto Bild summer tire test 2020 was occupied by the Toyo Proxes Sport, which delivered rather balanced performance in the wet and in the dry (for the exception of the braking test).

The last twentieth place was scored by the Zeetex HP2000 vfm. Getting shortlisted for the top twenty by a sheer stroke of luck, this model could not get any higher in the tournament bracket. As it turned out, its low price and low rolling resistance still did not outweigh the understeer on wet and dry pavements, as well as limited treadlife.
