2026 Motor Summer Tire Test

It’s not particularly a surprise that the Hankook is third in this test, given that the podium is the same than the previous test from Jon himself in the same size.
It’s curious however that the Hankook as a max performance tire is again mixed with touring tires.

Everyone keeps criticizing Kumho for its resistance to aquaplaning.
In this test, there is minimal difference between Kumho and Bridgestone in Straight aquaplaning and Kumho and Pirelli in Curved aquaplaning.

It has been a long time since BMW 3 Series or Audi A4 used this tire size. Octavia doesn't use it any more, either.
