Promobil: Commercial Tire Test R16 2026
German motorhome magazine promobil has conducted a specialized summer tire evaluation for the Fiat Ducato Maxi and Heavy platform—the most common base for campervans and motorhomes across Europe. Seven tires in size 225/75 R16 C were tested on a fully loaded Ducato to replicate real-world motorhome weights and handling characteristics.
The test places strong emphasis on wet and dry braking, handling stability, aquaplaning resistance, and subjective driving feel—all critical factors given the high center of gravity and substantial payload of modern motorhomes. Environmental metrics including rolling resistance and noise are also assessed, though promobil notes that aerodynamic drag dominates fuel consumption at highway speeds for these vehicles.
