The full test

The evidence behind the verdict

It's the 50th anniversary of the ADAC tire test, and to celebrate the German automotive body have tested fifty summer tires in the popular 205/55 R16 tire size, and have included wear testing for every tire!

There's a lot to unpack in this test, so we'll dive straight in! Headline notes, there are two Michelin tires in this test, the Michelin Primacy 4+ and the energy saving Michelin e.Primacy, the Continental on test is not the new PremiumContact 7, it's the previous model, the Continental PremiumContact 6, and Continental also have the new Continental UltraContact in the test which is meant to be a lower rolling resistance and higher mileage tire for those who drive a lot of distance!

Test setup & methodology

The test setting, the conditions recorded and how the results contribute to the score.

Wear

Wear is a key quality of any tire - what good is a tire that has amazing grip if it only lasts a few thousand miles?! Road wear testing is incredibly expensive, and with 50 sets of tires on test ADAC had to split the tires between road and machine wearing with control tires between the two to ensure data correlation. 

As usual, Michelin led the wear test, but not with the tire you'd expect. The Michelin e.Primacy, which starts with lower than average tread depth and is designed for very low fuel use (more on that later) recorded a staggering estimated 71,500kms tread life! 

The second best tire was the impressive Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 which once again highlights the longevity of modern Goodyear products, and the low wearing Michelin Primacy 4+ was just beaten to third by the budget Doublecoin DC99. This also happens to be the best result for the Doublecoin, keep an eye on it later in the test.

Of the known brand names, it was a disappointing result for Uniroyal, Nokian and Dunlop, all projected to have less than half the miles of the best.

The difference between best and worst was 67.7% (30,074 miles).

The advantage of having the prices of the tires and estimated mileage, you can get an idea of the value of the tires, based in Euros Per 1000km to see how much you get for your money.

As the Doublecoin was one of the best wearing AND one of the cheapest, it offered exceptional value, but we still wouldn't recommend fitting it unless you're really into sliding around. Of the good tires on test, it was again the Goodyear and Michelin offering great cost per mile, but the Kumho Ecsta HS52 was up there in the mix too.

Wet

Often wear comes at the expense of wet grip, but once again Goodyear and Michelin (with the Primacy 4+ at least) are proving to break that trend. ADAC only published their wet braking data, of which they use two surfaces, asphalt and concrete. This is where the Michelin, Goodyear and Continental stretch their legs, but it was also a good grip result for the Cooper, Hankook and ESA Tecar on both surfaces.

Environment

As the environmental impact of all industry is becoming ever more important, the big tire tests are now measuring "abrasion" which is how much rubber, measured in weight, the tire loses. While a high mileage tire should lead in this category, it isn't always a straight correlation as the tires have different amounts of material in them.

The best in test was the e.Primacy, and ignoring the budget Michelin also did very well with the Primacy 4+, but Continentals new high mileage tire, the UltraContact, also performed extremely well.

The difference between best and worst was 262.1% (91.2 mg/km/t).

Fuel consumption was measured in a real world test rather than a machine rolling resistance test, and, well, there was a disappointingly small range of results. The total spread was 5.5 liters per 100km to 5.9 liters per 100km.

Given the relatively small real world advantage a tire like the e.Primacy has in this test over a tire like the Bridgestone Turanza T005, but the large disadvantage it has in wet grip, it makes me wonder if ultra low rolling resistance tires are really the correct choice for anyone.

Calculated estimates, not additional measurements. Use the controls to explore the assumptions.

12,000 mi
$3.60/gal
Estimates based on typical driving conditions. Rolling resistance accounts for approximately 20% of IC vehicle fuel consumption and 25% of EV energy consumption. Actual savings vary based on driving style, vehicle weight, road conditions, and tire age. For comparative purposes only. Lifetime savings based on a 40,000km / 25,000 mile tread life.

Finally external noise was measured, but for the sake of avoiding another long chart, you can find the data below. The e.Primacy was impressively quiet, and the Petlas impressively loud!

Kleber Dynaxer HP4

205/55 R16 91V
Kleber Dynaxer HP4
Driving Safety: The driving safety of the Kleber Dynaxer HP4 does not go beyond a satisfactory rating. It offers the driver only average feedback on the steering wheel on dry roads and could prove to be a bit more stable during dynamic evasive maneuvers. Its braking distance is still classified as good, but overall it just misses out on a good rating on dry roads. On wet roads, the Kleber Dynaxer HP4 does not get more than a satisfactory rating either. Although it scored well in the aquaplaning tests, it only performed satisfactorily in the braking distance measurements and handling. It lacks a bit of grip and precision for a better rating.

Environmental balance: In the environmental balance, the Dynaxer HP4 secures a good result in the test. Both its predicted mileage and its abrasion are rated as good. The tire also scores with its low fuel consumption, but it just misses out on a good rating in terms of weight.

Toyo Proxes Comfort
Driving safety: The Toyo Tires Proxes Comfort just missed out on a good result when it came to driving safety. The Toyo Tires Proxes Comfort offers the driver only average feedback on the steering wheel on dry roads, but still shows itself to be safe in the limit area. Thanks to its short braking distance, the Toyo Tires Proxes Comfort just about got a good rating for dry performance. The Toyo Tires Proxes Comfort narrowly missed out on a good rating on wet roads. Its performance is rated as satisfactory for both braking distance and aquaplaning measurements. In wet handling he still gets good ratings, but overall that's not enough to get a good result in the wet.

Environmental balance: In the environmental balance, the Proxes Comfort secured a good result in the test. Both its predicted mileage and its abrasion are rated as good. In addition, it can also get a good result with its low fuel consumption and low weight in terms of efficiency.

On wet roads, the Debica Presto HP 2 does not get more than a satisfactory rating either. Although the tire received good ratings for its aquaplaning behavior, its properties in braking tests and handling were only rated as satisfactory. It offers a medium level of grip and can only satisfactorily combine longitudinal and lateral forces.

Environmental balance: In the environmental balance, the Presto HP 2 secures a good result in the test. Both its predicted mileage and its abrasion are rated as good. In addition, it can also get a good result with its fuel consumption and low weight in terms of efficiency.

Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2

205/55 R16 91V
Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2
Driving safety: The Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 is rated as just satisfactory in terms of driving safety due to its wet properties. The Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 offers the driver good feedback on the steering wheel on dry roads, can be steered precisely and is safe even at the limit. In addition, it can score with its short braking distance and thus secures a good rating for dry performance. On wet roads, however, the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 does not go beyond a satisfactory verdict. Although it scored well in the aquaplaning tests and secured good ratings, it was only satisfactory in the braking distance measurements and handling. It offers a medium level of grip and can only satisfactorily combine longitudinal and lateral forces.

Environmental balance: The Cinturato P7 C2 also missed out on a good result in terms of the environmental balance. His predicted mileage is still rated as good, but he does not get more than a satisfactory result when it comes to abrasion. It doesn't help that its fuel consumption and weight are rated as good.

Uniroyal RainSport 5
Driving safety: The Uniroyal RainSport 5 is only rated as satisfactory for driving safety due to its dry properties. The RainSport 5 only offers the driver sufficient feedback on the steering wheel on a dry road and also receives an adequate rating for its handling at the limit - in the event of sudden evasive maneuvers, the test car tends to oversteer with the tires, but skilful steering maneuvers can prevent skidding. When it comes to the braking distance, the Uniroyal can secure a good mark with a short value. Overall, its drying properties are classified as satisfactory. On wet roads, the Uniroyal RainSport 5 receives very good ratings for its aquaplaning behavior, for its braking performance and its behavior in wet handling, thanks to good grip and safe and precise driveability, good reviews. Overall, the overall wet performance is rated as good.

Environmental balance: In terms of environmental balance, the Uniroyal RainSport 5 is also clearly rated as satisfactory. Both its predicted mileage and its abrasion are classified as satisfactory. The efficiency is still rated as good thanks to the relatively low fuel consumption and weight.

Michelin e.Primacy

205/55 R16 91V
Michelin e.Primacy
Driving safety: The Michelin e.Primacy is rated as sufficient for driving safety due to its wet performance. The Michelin e.Primacy offers the driver satisfactory feedback on the steering wheel on dry roads and does not get more than a satisfactory rating when driving at the limit. When it comes to the braking distance, however, the tire scores well and even gets a good rating for it. All in all, however, it does not get more than a satisfactory result in terms of dry performance. On wet roads, the e.Primacy shows clear weaknesses compared to the test field. Its braking, aquaplaning and handling performance is rated as only adequate. The tire can only moderately combine longitudinal and lateral forces, which means that the test car can only be controlled imprecisely and in the limit area with great difficulty. Overall, the wet performance is rated as sufficient.

Environmental balance: In terms of environmental balance, the e.Primacy sets the standard in the test field. It offers a very high predicted mileage, gets a very good rating for the lowest wear and also scores points in terms of efficiency with very low fuel consumption and low tire weight. The Michelin e.Primacy also sets the bar high when it comes to sustainability and is the only tire that just barely misses a good rating. It offers a very high predicted mileage, gets a very good rating for the lowest wear and also scores points in terms of efficiency with very low fuel consumption and low tire weight.

    We like this simple chart explanation. As a Athens concrete contractor , our work also needs good testing and data. The picture helps kids and adults understand. We think learning about tires is helpful and fun.

    Question cannot find answer: When / why do tire mfg companies no longer show both min psi with the max psi.
    While I understand one tire may max at 51psi but asked to inflate to your own car guide (like 32-34psi), there must be a minimum psi that the mfg would say its my falt for driving (say at 20psi) where the integeraty of the tire would be challenged.

    1. TireReviews Bob Pritchett archived

      That's a good question I don't know the answer to.

      At a guess, the biggest issue with low PSI is the tire debeading from the rim, so perhaps manufacturers don't want the liability of saying for example 20psi and the tire comes off the rim at 22psi due to poor wheel or big impact.

    really liked your video testing the impact of adding weight to pickup truck rear axle. I think that it would be a very interesting and popular video if you performed a similar test on a FWD vehicle to evaluate how adding mass over the rear axle affects braking distances on snow or ice. There just does not seem to be a solid answer to this question, and therefore actual testing would be very valuable info. I think it would be most useful if the test was performed with snow tires installed, and even better if the effect of studded tires could also be included as an additional variable (could potentially change the results of the added mass). Thanks

      That's certainly an interesting test idea, but I'm not sure I've ever heard anyone suggest adding weight to the boot of a FWD vehicle so I'm not sure how relevant it would be.

        Thanks for the reply. I think that if you google this question you can actually find tons and tons of online conversations and debate regarding this question, along with tons of opinions for or against. Lots of people do add weight to the trunk of FWD vehicles hoping to increase rear wheel braking grip and reduce the risk of having the rear swing out. Maybe its a Canadian/Nordic thing?. The problem is that it is not completely obvious if this is net beneficial, or if the extra inertia completely offsets the benefit of the extra traction.

    Sadly, once again, they sort of set wear above safety making the test nice for fleet managers but bad news for customers.

    What is the true average annual mileage of a privately owned car in central Europe? Around 10.000 km / year, there are some drivers that do more and there are many more that do even less. I'm talking about private, not company cars. Let's get back to the average. Say, 4k km are done on winter set, so 6.000 km / year on summer tires. There is absolutely no chance those like the Goodyears would be worn out unless being absolute threat to everything on the road after ten or even more years. Actually they will be unsafe in half the time (own experience with previous Goodyear Efficientgrip Performance model - great when new, completely lost traction after five years causing extremely extended braking distances and wheel spinning on slippery surfaces even for cautious and gentle drivers. Borrowed a pair of new, confirmed the old tires to be the problem, so they had to go. Who would voluntarily reaplce tires with still half of tread depth as I did?

    Currently I am using Nokian Wetproof (which are praised for braking distances and excellent wet and dry grip which I can confirm) but these (and Vredestein Ultrac) are usually devaluated for low expected mileage around 30.000 km. Honestly, I'd happily replace worn tires every five or six years if they are as safe as when new instead of being rear-ended by hypermilers with 'eternal' Michelin or Goodyear on traffic lights.

    Sadly, such pressure on extreme wear durability inevitably leads to tires being worse and less safe for private customers.

      Interesting comment, thanks for sharing. I think in the UK the average mileage is around 10,000 miles, so 16,000km and there's no switch to a winter tire for 98% of people. That means 80,000km is achievable in the 5 year recommended life of a tire.

      How these tires perform after 5 years at 2mm is another question that's sadly very hard to answer.

    2. Olli-Pekka Tervo Petr archived

      Nokian tires are usually pretty safe bet overall, and especially for those whose mileage is low. If one really wants to maintain maximum safety, they need to have over 3mm tread left and tire shouldn't be more than 4 years old*. Maybe even less if they are exposed to sunlight 365 days a year. So, if your mileage is low, and tire does not wear too much on that 3-4 years period, you are good to go, but if your mileage is high (some people actually drive 30k, even 50k in one summer), you probably want to get one of those more durable tires.

      *) I always have this at minimum on our family car...but my "commuter" can have anything, because I don't have to drive it on highway.

    That's a lot of data to digest! At ADAC's link we've got at the page's bottom the test pdf's where there's even more data relating to dry and wet performance, the way ADAC usually presents it. Unfortunately, they went through a lot of effort and money to test all these tires when they could have tested a smaller amount of them but of many different premium and budgets models (and even different weight/speed indexes for each model). For instance: the Contis EC5, EC6, PC5, Michelin Pilot Sport 4, Primacy 4, Goodyear EGP, Hankook Prime 3, Pirelli Cinturato P1 Verde, Bridgestone Ecopia EP150 and Turanza ECO, Maxxis Premitra HP5 and Mecotra 3, Falken Sincera SN832, Yokohama BluEarth GT and BluEarth-ES, Vredestein Ultra, etc. So much money wasted in so many crappy tires!... Maybe I'm being ungrateful, but on my opinion, this is not a great way to celebrate 50 years of tire testing!

    Two things: first, the performance of the P7C2 is oddly out of alignment with TR's own assessment; second, might we have the descriptive commentary for the other tires?

    1. TireReviews 4cvg archived

      I meant to write something about that in the article, I guess I forgot. We got the new compound P7C2, ADAC didn't as they tested before us.

      You can find the descriptive commentary on the ADAC site linked just above the results, I sadly don't have the time to copy and paste it across, it's surprisingly time consuming :) I'll try and get it added in the coming weeks.
