2016 AutoBild Summer Tire Test

wonder where the T005 would come here....

i ve just fitted hankooks k 125..great tires..excellent value for money option..

I cannot understand the Hankook winning if its not really good with the non aquaplaning - it rules it out in my book - then, sadly, the Pirrelli doesn't come in my size (185 or 195/55/16) I have had poor service and response from another good brand (name withheld) and the Continental does wear out quickly despite claims. Then both Good year and Dunlop have flimsy thin tire walls which I would be scared of even brushing a kerb with and they flex on corners too
So what is a really good tire these days???
I have been very pleased all round with the Falken ZE 914 yet it doesn't fare all that well here - it kind of seems to me a lot of these tests favour the flavour of the month - last year the P1 Verdi got top braking test marks and now its dissapeared off the charts

I do find the nokians placing and notes very odd... Ive been using nokian line for 2 years now, on a car that eats front tires and wants to understeer, they respond quickly and tenaciously in the wet, opposing my cars desire to understeer, and wear well indeed (unlike some continentals that it chewed the shoulder away in no time).
This is my second set of nokian, the 'H' I had before wore very well too (and also did not get the shoulders chewed off.).

Just fitted 4 Hankooks this same dimension. I cannot say anything more at the moment from only a short drive back home, except that they seem a bit more softer/comfortable than the Continental premium contact (1) that they replaced (which by the way served me great for 8 years and 63000km), and maybe a bit louder-but not sure about that yet. And the tires are very fresh, two are 1116 and two 1216, I just looked at the calendar-the week 14 is just starting.

No any further surprises than the winner is the new Hankkok Ventus Prime3?
And what about the semi-calculated (after real 10 000 km drive) km longevity estimates? Michelin above 40tkm, Hankook ~ 37 tkm, Uniroyal just ~ 23tkm!!!...The mileage test was performed by DEKRA.
Your opinion & experiences?, of course depending on the driving style & road used status...but anyway good value for money seeked also in this discipline.
Looking fwd. to upcoming FR and UK tests...if any.

thanks for the listing
