Every year Auto Bild test over fifty tires in wet and dry braking testing to decide which twenty tires make it through to the full summer tire test. In 2019 they have tested 53 patterns, using the popular 225/45 R17 summer touring tire size.

When compared to the 2018 version of the test, the gap between the best and worse tires on test is actually smaller! The best wet braking tire, the new Hankook Ventus S1 evo 3, stopped the car in 94 feet from 50 mph, and the worse tire on test, the budget Star Performer TNG UHP1 in 129 feet, a difference of 35 feet. While that's smaller than the 58 feet separating the best and worst in 2018, it's still the difference between stopping safely and a crash at over 25 mph on the cheaper tire.

Even from the higher speed of 62 mph the gap in dry braking is always closer, but there was still a 16 feet difference between the best (Michelin Pilot Sport 4) and the worst (Tyfoon Successor 5), which could be the option of stopping safely, or another big accident.

Below is the braking details of all 54 tires tested. Be sure to visit Tire Reviews in the coming weeks for the full tire test which covers dry and wet handling, aquaplaning, noise, comfort and fuel use of the top twenty tires.

Hi I have a 1966 Healey 3000, 15" wires 5.5" wide.
I'm not bothered for period correct tires, especially as they are 3x the price of modern tires that will fit my wheels.
I want to fit 195/65R15's - and am considering Bridgestone T005's, but have read a few reviews suggesting the sidewalls are soft.
As my tire profile is quite large, will these be appropriate, and if not, what could you suggest.
MPG/Wear/noise/snow is not important,
Grip and braking are priority.
Costs similar to the T005's would be preferable.
Thank you for your advice and fab website.

  All modern tires in that size are going to have soft sidewalls, it's just the way the industry has gone. The T005 aren't the softest.

    Thank yo for your reply, I think I will give them a go. Unless you can suggest anything better?
    The Nokian wetpro maybe?
    Also, will picking a fast speed rating help with a stiffer sidewall, and what about the XL rating?
    How critical is all this? Am I just over thinking it? Will I even notice?

...why are there 2 missing labels?! The first missing one is the Conti PC 6. Interesting to see if S1 Evo 3 is so good in other sizes!!...

    Hi again! My many thanks about your reviews and site collaboration! Its essencial for some of us. Iam very curious about Firemax because they have a good distribution and very low prices in Portugal. Of course i dont expect a classe A tire...but very curious to know they performance in a larger test. Many Thanks!

    I am also surprised between the test result and the individual reviews by users which indicate that this tire is an excellent wet tire, but some lesser known makes performed better in the test ! Is there a placebo situation here where because it's called Rainsport users assume they are getting an excellent wet weather tire ? I would love to know ?

      The Rainsport 3 is an old tire now, it's natural it slips down the order compared to the newest and best. User reviews can still be valid, it might just be their older reviews, or the user hasn't had the chance to drive the latest and greatest. The Rainsport 3 isn't a bad tire, it's just not as great as the latest generation.

        No news of the Rainsport 4, and FWIW they will 100% skip 4 and go straight to RainSport 5 :) News on the site as soon as I hear anything!

The Pzero PZ4 doesn't exist with this dimension. It's again the old Pzero who's tested here ;)

  I'm getting fed up of Pirelli ;)
  Is this an updated pattern design of the original P Zero?

    Someone is lying here... the pattern on your link is indeed the new saloon version of the pz4. But available on 18" minimum. If you continue with the link available beneath the picture, the old pzero appears ;)

        I've spoken with Pirelli and it was IP 1744100 used in Auto Bild, which is the original P Zero. Must be the wrong picture, which is weird.

        That's literally the opposite of what I said lol, it's the original P Zero tested.

        Yes, but given the results, it should be an update or a refresh, it wouldn't have been ranked so high otherwise.

      The tire pictured is the one Auto Bild tested, lets see what happens in a few days when the full result is due out!
      I'll also contact Pirelli after the full test is published.

      That's not the new PZ4 but the Cinturato P7. Don't know if it's the blue or not, but on that pic it looks quite black...
      However the text next to it says 94 Y in which spec neither is available, just the old P Zero. And the P Zero Nero GT, but if the results are correct it's not likely to be that.
      In whichever case the results are pretty impressive considering that all of them are pretty old designs, let's see if it'll remain like that in the full test. :)

        I checked this link yesterday and I'm fairly sure I didn't see the 17" version, perhaps it's been updated?

        Wow.
        It's good to have that on the wordwide site, but where do they sell that actually? Because neither the UK nor the Italian product page list that, and I couldn't find any resellers who sell it. Yet.
