We responded to the wishes of readers to test models that had not previously taken part in comparative tests. In this test, there are many new products and tires that have fallen out of our attention in the past.
Three tires fighting for leadership deserve special attention - Nokian, Continental and Bridgestone. The first two are long-standing competitors, but the “Japanese” made their way to the leaders somewhat unexpectedly for us.
The first place was won by the Bridgestone Potenta S001 model. But the high price raises the price / quality ratio to a record 5.34.
New from Continental - Conti Premium Contact 5 completes a series of “fifth” summer models that entered the market last year. Decent tire, price / quality ratio is slightly more profitable than Bridgestone's - 5.13. In the spring of this year in Russia will be sold limitedly.
The winner of last year’s test “Pirelli-Chinturato P7” is a very gambling tire, a little lost its position only under the pressure of new products. Nevertheless, it was kept on the podium, and among the tires of the first five world manufacturers it is the most seductive in terms of price / quality: 4.03.
In the old Michelin-Primacy HP, despite its “advanced” age, there is still gunpowder in the powder flasks, it quite convincingly plays with muscles.
But Toyo-Proxes T1 Sport is already advancing on its gray tail, which has long proved the brand's viability, which has long been one of the top five in our tests.

Hancock’s new product, Ventu Prime 2, came close to 900 points, and this, by our definition, is the standard for very good tires. And then she raised the price: the price / quality ratio of 4.45 is higher than that of Pirelli.
“Dunlop-SP Sport 9000” still looks quite worthy, therefore it is in demand.
The Goodyear with the Effective Grief model is slightly behind the top five. Value for money, equal to 4.99, for a total level of 871 points, I consider it to be a tall one.
Cordiant-Sport 2, which scored 857 points, opens a parade of domestic developments. With a price / quality ratio of 3.73 - a very good buy.
"Yokohama" with the model "C. Drive 2" did not make it to the first half of our list (only 839 points in the overall classification), but there were no requests: price-quality ratio 5.13 - on a par with Continental, standing on second place.
“Viatti Strada” - this sonorous name didn’t really help the product of the Nizhnekamsk Tire Plant: a modest 830 points. But at the same time, the ambitious price / quality ratio is 4.22, which is higher than that of Pirelli, who got on the podium.
The foreign brand Premierri did not add the benefits of the new Solazo development of the Ukrainian Rosava plant. But, despite the “skinny” 806 points, the “fat” price / quality ratio is 3.47! Many of those who prefer a balanced ride will surely pay attention to this tire.

Hakka Blue, a novelty from Nokian, is very strong. The characteristics are stable and practically independent of the state of the coating. Alas, due to the late start of production, the tire did not have time for the main test, and we carried out an additional one. The results were recounted using two sets of comparison tires that worked in both tests. Famous tire manufacturers often use similar methods, calling base tires reference. Nevertheless, since the weather conditions of the tests were still different, and the test car, albeit of the same brand, was different, this tire does not stand out. In addition, in some exercises, the results were better than those that were taken as 100% in the main test.
