Autozeitung: Summer Tire Test R18 2025

Autozeitung’s 2025 Summer Tire Test, conducted on February 26, 2025, evaluated ten ultra-high-performance (UHP) tires in dimension 225/45 R18. Testing focused on wet/dry braking, aquaplaning resistance, handling precision, rolling resistance, and treadwear durability. Lab simulations assessed abrasion rates and projected lifespan, while real-world scenarios measured safety margins in extreme conditions. The Continental PremiumContact 7, though categorized as a touring tire, was included to benchmark its performance against dedicated UHP rivals.
