2026 Summer ECO Tire Test P7 of 8
The Cooper Summer is a new product following Cooper's acquisition by Goodyear. On wet roads, it delivers secure, precise, and reliable handling with very good aquaplaning protection, and test drivers found it easy to control. The problem area is dry braking, where it records the longest stopping distance in the test at 123 feet - a borderline result. A slight rubbing sensation was noted at the handling limit, and a faint rolling noise is audible in corners. Rolling resistance is mid-pack, and it is among the cheaper options at 100 euros. Like Dunlop and Vredestein, retail-purchased samples were verified in follow-up tests and confirmed the original results.

Value for money, the tire came from a continental primum with a 7 which stuck to the road, but it was noisy and quite a bit more expensive than the Cooper. Its disadvantages are that it doesn't brake well in the dry and doesn't have such good feedback on the road.The law is a quiet, comfortable tire that can handle many demands and will not let you down.
I had previous Continental Premium 7 the difference has mainly to do with noise I consider the cooper They are quieter and have worse grip than the Continental Premium 7 It's not that fast in the corner. However, it's a decent tire for everyday use without having many demands. 290€ for a set of four I consider a decent price.
