The Continental PremiumContact 6 is impressive in all respects, ensuring a very high level of driving safety. On dry pavement, the tire provides good steering response, very effective braking performance, and excellent handling characteristics. At the same time, this Continental model has a relatively weak hydroplaning resistance, as well a heavy weight, which directly affects its fuel saving capability. The noise level is satisfactory.

On dry pavement, this Goodyear tire ensures good steering response and effective braking performance; it is also quite safe on the grip limit, while on wet pavement it also quickly stops the car and ensures excellent handling performance. On the downside, its hydroplaning resistance is only average.This tire also has a long tread life, small weight, and low rolling resistance. The noise level is satisfactory.

On dry pavement, this Michelin model demonstrates a less-than-perfect steering feedback, but it still behaves quite confidently on the grip limit and has good braking capabilities. At the same time, on wet pavement, this Michelin model also demonstrated effective braking performance, as well as good handling response and hydroplaning resistance, and the tire has a well-balanced overall performance.This Michelin tire also has a very long expected mileage.

This Bridgestone model ensures a very high level of driving safety. On dry pavement, the tire demonstrates acceptable steering feedback, reliable behavior on the grip limit and a short braking distance, while on wet pavement it has good braking performance, good handling response, and good straight hydroplaning resistance. At the same time, the lateral hydroplaning resistance could have been higher.In terms of environmental performance, the tire has low weight and low rolling resistance, but its expected mileage was rated simply as «good».

This Continental model ensures an acceptable level of driving safety — on dry pavement, everything is fine with steering feedback, grip limit behavior, and braking performance, but on wet pavement (for the exception of handling and braking performance, which are also good) the tire has issues with hydroplaning resistance, particularly in corners.This Continental tire is at the same time extremely environmentally friendly because it has a long expected mileage, low weight, and low rolling resistance.

This Falken model ensures a very high level of driving safety on dry pavement, and at the same time is pretty effective in the wet. In the first case, the Falken tire demonstrates exemplary steering feedback, reliable behavior, and a short braking distance, and in the second — good braking performance, strong resistance to lateral hydroplaning, and good handling response. There were only minor gripes about the straight hydroplaning resistance.The Falken also has a long tread life but its heavy weight compromises its fuel saving performance.

This Nokian tire is very effective on dry pavement (it has plenty of steering feedback, totally safe behavior on the grip threshold, and a short braking distance) and on wet pavement as well (short braking distance, good straight hydroplaning resistance and good handling response), but it has a relatively weak hydroplaning resistance in corners.Thanks to its low weight and low rolling resistance, this Nokian tire is indeed energy-effective but it emits a large quantity of harmful particles.

This Kumho tire ensures good handling response on wet and dry pavement alike, yet it has low resistance to lateral hydroplaning. On the upside, the tire has a long expected mileage, but its large weight negatively affects its energy efficiency.

This Hankook tire is equally effective on dry and wet pavement, but you need to keep in mind its reduced hydroplaning resistance. This tire also has a long tread life, but, since it is on the heavy side, this compromises its fuel saving performance.

This Nexen tire is good on dry pavement, and it also has a short wet braking distance and high hydroplaning resistance, but there were a few complaints about its handling performance. In addition, its tread life is not the longest one around.

On dry pavement, this Fulda tire ensures a good level of safety, but on wet pavement the situation is not as good. While on dry pavement the tire has average steering feedback, compensated by safe behavior on the grip limit and a short braking distance, its wet grip is not as strong, which directly affects braking and handling performance. At the same time, the tire has strong hydroplaning resistance.This Fulda tire may still be rated as environmentally friendly thanks to its low weight and rolling resistance combined with long expected mileage.

This Kenda model is effective on dry pavement; on wet pavement it also has good handling performance and hydroplaning resistance, but a relatively long braking distance. The tire is also pretty energy efficient, but has a reduced tread life.

On dry pavement, this Kleber model demonstrates a less-than-perfect handling feedback, and can be pretty unreliable during an emergency maneuver, but, on the other hand, it has a short braking distance. At the same time, on wet pavement this tire effectively combats the hydroplaning effect, yet it lacks the desired grip to ensure a really good handling performance and shorter stopping distances. Kleber’s expected mileage is reasonably long.

Despite its less-than-perfect handling feedback, this Toyo tire ensures a good level of driving safety on dry pavement, while on wet pavement it demonstrates only average braking performance and hydroplaning resistance (even though there are no complaints about the handling response as such).This tire has a long expected mileage; its low weight and low rolling resistance make it a good fuel saver. At the same time, the tires are shipped directly from Japan, which increases the environmental impact.

On dry pavement, this Debica tire demonstrates average steering feedback, which makes it hard to figure out which steering angles are required during the maneuvering. The handling performance also could be better, although the stopping distance is short enough. On wet pavement, this Debica tire also has issues, and, although its hydroplaning resistance is reasonably good, the reduced grip compromises handling and braking performance.This Debica model has a short tread life, while its low hydroplaning resistance and low weight improve its energy efficiency.

This Dunlop tire is good on dry pavement, and it does have strong hydroplaning resistance, but its poor grip negatively affects braking and handling performance.The tire is light and has low rolling resistance but its tread life was rated as only average.

This Pirelli tire is good on dry pavement, but it has a less-than-perfect wet grip, which negatively impacts braking distance and handling performance. At the same time, the tire has strong hydroplaning resistance.Its tread life is reasonably long, the weight and fuel consumption are low, but the emission of harmful particles is high.

This Sava tire ensures only average level of driving safety. On dry pavement, it has a short braking distance but less-than-perfect feedback and behavior on the grip limit, while on wet pavement it has only average braking and handling performance, despite its good hydroplaning resistance.Its expected mileage is not very long either, but, on the positive side, the weight and rolling resistance are pretty low.

This Semperit tire has a short dry braking distance but it is prone to understeer during an emergency maneuver (the feedback and behavior on the grip limit are also only average). At the same time, on wet pavement it has a short braking distance and good handling response and hydroplaning resistance.From the environmental point of view, this Semperit tire has a long tread life and fuel saving capabilities, but it is pretty noisy.

This Firestone tire is very good on dry pavement, but its wet grip is not as reliable, which affects handling and braking performance. At the same time, there are no problems with hydroplaning resistance.The expected mileage is average, the weight and rolling resistance are low.
