The victory in the test, and, therefore, recommendation from the Auto Zeitung experts, was scored by the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5, which, in addition to its other merits, was recommended to drivers who want to save up on gasoline.

Second place was scored by the Continental PremiumContact 6 with its very confident behavior on dry pavement.

The bronze medal of the test was bestowed on the Pirelli P Zero PZ4, despite the fact that it fell short of the leaders in the dry tests.

The Michelin Pilot Sport 4, which slightly lacked steering precision while cornering, occupied the fourth line in the final standings.

Fifth place was scored by the Falken Azenis FK510, which offers the best price/quality ratio.

The sixth place in the tournament bracket was occupied by the Nokian Powerproof, which ultimately did not get recommended by the experts due to its weak wet braking performance.

Seventh place in the final standings, also due to poor braking capabilities on wet pavement, was scored by the Maxxis Victra Sport 5.

The same applies to the Dunlop Sport Maxx RT2, which is also efficient, but not grippy enough when braking in the wet.

Relatively long braking distance on wet pavement. Weak lateral aquaplaning resistance.

The last tenth line in the final standings of the 225/40 R18 summer tire test was occupied by the Nexen N’Fera Sport, which had issues both in dry and wet performance. According to the testers, its capabilities fall short of those of the best models available on the market.
