What is a Premium Touring tire?

Premium Touring tires are the leading brands' everyday tires, and the default fitment for most modern cars. They balance wet safety, comfort, low noise, long life and fuel efficiency rather than chasing outright grip.

Summer tires use compounds that work best in warm conditions, giving the strongest wet and dry grip of any season category when temperatures are mild or hot. Their performance falls away in the cold, which is where winter and all season tires take over.

Michelin Primacy 4 225-55-18 Opel Grandland X 2.0D 20,000 miles October 30, 2026

Not really sporty but reliable - in my opinion a perfect match to a car which isn't sporty but reliable.
After changing to Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 in 245/45 R19 I would prefer the GYs. Much more responsive and not more wear.

Continental EcoContact 6 215-55-17 Suzuki SX4 Scross 1.4T Boosterjet 15,000 miles October 29, 2026

Comfortable compared to my previous tires, very good rolling resistence. Dry grip accetable, not impresie, feel safe on the wet (i have not push them on wet yet?

Bridgestone Ecopia EP150 195-65-15 Toyota Corolla 36,600 miles October 29, 2026

Excellent tires! They offer great grip and handling in corners, perform very well in wet conditions and provide excellent traction in the rain. They are also very durable and long-lasting. Highly recommended!

Michelin Primacy 5 205-55-16 Volkswagen Golf 6,000 miles October 29, 2026

The tires are very silent and comfortable. Despite this they are very grippy in the dry and wet and give a good feedback. Driven in 40+ degrees in summer until now in rainy 5 degrees autumn and they make the drive 100% secure.

Michelin Primacy 4 235-45-20 Renault Austral Full hybrid 14,000 miles October 28, 2026

These tires are still dangerous in cold damp conditions, they behave like budget tires. I know they’re summer tires but their prime operating window is so narrow, and the performance falls off a cliff face. They’re so bad I had to get them checked to see if they were fake.

Yokohama BluEarth Es ES32 205-60-16 13,000 miles October 28, 2026

Eh, does the job. Good fuel efficiency; could be quieter. Grip is not something to boast about, but it does the job for me. Would probably buy again. I already brought them last month once again but might try something new next time. Good for hybrid commuters that does not do any spirited driving.

Yokohama BluEarth GT AE51 205-60-16 Toyota 2014 Prius Alpha 8,000 miles October 28, 2026

Really good tires, especially within the price range. Not the most fuel efficient (ES32 or Ecopia is more efficient), but the tradeoff is worth it.

Summer Premium Touring Tires EU label data

143 of the 212 tires in this category carry EU label data. These are the category's label headliners, using each tire's best available size figures.

A Best wet grip

88 tires reach EU wet grip class A. The highest scoring:

A Lowest rolling resistance

The most fuel efficient choice: 51 tires reach rolling resistance class A. The highest scoring:

66dB Quietest tires

The quietest tires in this category are labelled from 66 dB external noise:

Label values come from the EU EPREL database and vary by size - the figures here are each tire's best declared size. Wet grip and rolling resistance run from class A (best) to E; noise is the measured drive-by figure. A good label is a floor, not a verdict: the tests and rankings above tell you far more.

Rankings combine independent test results with owner reviews submitted through this site, each naming the car, the tire, the size and the distance covered. Reviews are checked by hand before publication, and the page rebuilds automatically as new evidence arrives.

About the TR Score

The Tire Reviews Score rates each tire out of 10 using independent test results and the full body of owner reviews, weighted by how much evidence backs them.
