The Debica Presto UHP 2 is rated as good on dry roads but achieves only an average rating in wet conditions and overall driving safety. On dry roads, it provides just average steering feedback, making it challenging for drivers to immediately find the necessary steering angle for curves. However, its handling at the limit and braking distance are still rated as good, barely earning a good rating for dry performance. On wet roads, the Debica Presto UHP 2 does not surpass an average rating. While its aquaplaning resistance receives good marks, its braking performance and handling are deemed average. The tire offers a moderate level of grip and satisfactorily combines longitudinal and lateral forces. In terms of environmental impact, the Presto UHP 2 narrowly misses a higher rating. Its projected mileage and wear are rated as nearly good. Additionally, its fuel consumption and low weight contribute to a good efficiency rating.

Given 94% while driving a Honda 1.6 I DTEC (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 2,000 average miles

For an economic tire, the performance is superb.
No problems in the dry. Very impressive on wet road,
Absolutely comfortable and not noisy.
The tires are new, I made only 2000 km, so I can't know if they last well or not.
But I had Debica tires for winter, and I made over 50.000 km without problems. so...

Given 93% while driving a SEAT Leon 5f mk3 2014 (225/40 R18) on mostly country roads for 28,580 average miles

Bought them in april 2022 and i used them during spring, summer and autumn then i switched to winter tires each year so far.
The grip is amazing both on dry and wet roads, the braking distance is very little, the accuracy and feedback is very good, they are silent and comfortable.
There is a BUT, all that i said above was valid during the first 2 seasons of usage, after that, the grip became way worse and the tires are now slippery as fuck, especially on wet roads.
They are fantastic tires for the price but i strongly suggest to use them just during the first 2-2,5 years.
By the way, now they have 46.000km and the tire tread has 4mm left.

bought them with the idea of giving them hard time on the rear end drive and they performed really well, nice grip good at cornering but they lasted way to short

Great performance even while worn out, done over 50,000 tire is doing a very good job with aggressive driving and high speed >190 km/h, would definitely buy again.

Given 54% while driving a BMW 330ci (245/45 R18) on a combination of roads for 2,000 average miles

Average tires really.
They perform decent enough on dry tarmac, but the grip is lackluster..
On wet the car likes to slide around, which isn't necessarily a bad thing for me, but the traction control goes in party mode if you leave it ON and if you are not careful.
They seem to hit the limit pretty fast when I'm pushing it on the curves or twisty roads. Doesn't really inspire a lot of confidence.
Tires were bought new, DOT 2023.
They are not bad as a budget tire, but you will be much well of by spending a bit and getting a decent set of Michelin's for example.
Have a set of Michelin summer tires that have started cracking, and are good for the bin and I swear they still have more traction that these.
Definitely won't cheap out next time..

There's a new all season tire, can it be best?!

Given 80% while driving a Alfa Romeo GT 1.9 JTD (225/40 R18) on mostly country roads for 18,600 average miles

I’ve had this for my Alfa Romeo GT Q2 (~200 hp) for three years, now.

They are really good, especially for their price. Really grippy, glued to the road.
While I had them, my driving style changed slightly, meaning that I cruised at 70-90 km/h a lot more than I drove sporty. One thing is that, for curves and turns, I usually maintain that speed. Had no problem whatsoever, the car was always glued to the road, no understeer, no squeaking, nothing.

I can’t exacly tell if the car would be as stable going 120-130 km/h on those same turns, but they are good tires, nonetheless.

For a laidback, normal driving style, they are more than decent.
This is the third summer running them and probably the last.
Don’t know if I’ll buy them again, as I’m thinking of an all season set (Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3, namely - we have them on the other car in the family and they’re superb) or getting a premium set of tires. Will see.

However, again, Debica Presto UHP2 are really good; they give you (a lot) more than you pay for, in my opinion.

Given 47% while driving a Volkswagen Passat (235/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 15,000 average miles

These tires are the worst I have ever bought. I was running them on the back of a VW passat. After 15,000 miles they were 3/4 worn and very noisy, so much so that I had the car investigated for possible wheel bearing failure. I will never buy them again. You get what you pay for.

I wanted a soft sidewall tire to try to improve the ride on my heavy, firm riding 300ps hybrid. It's too early to say about wear, but they were incredible value for money. Quiet, composed, grippy, comfortable and made by Goodyear. Unexpectedly good.

Given 96% while driving a Hyundai i30 cw 1.6 crdi (195/65 R15) on a combination of roads for 4,000 average miles

Great tires for the price. Using them for normal driving on national roads and city, occasionally highway. Feels safe from a handling perspective. Brake efficiency is also great and both wet and dry. Only thing I would comment is about the lack of a rotation sign on the tire, they don't seem to be the ones you can rotate on your car. Overall, will definitely continue with Debica for my cars. Got Sebring HP tires on my other one and cannot see any difference.

Given 81% while driving a Ford c max (215/50 R17) on mostly motorways for 3,100 average miles

I bought for the first time budget and not premium tires to see the difference. After 5000km I have to admit that the difference is almost not noticable in everyday easy driving. When you get sporty then you can spot some differences. Pros Extremely comfortable Quiet cruising Good grip on dry and wet Very good value for money Cons The steering is much lighter and you get the feeling that the car is going to slide. But this is only a feeling. It is not a UHP tire. I cannot compare it with Michelin Pilot Sport for example or Continental SportContact. Still can not say anything about wear. Conclusion: A very adequate tire for every day use in the city and in motorway but not for sporty driving. You get more than you pay for sure. If it lasts for 40000 Km it would be a must buy tire for the average driver

Given 97% while driving a Renault Megane (205/50 R17) on a combination of roads for 4,500 average miles

Tire set price was around 255€ in Poland. I was driving on motorways with speeds 120-180 kph both in dry hot weather and in the rain and felt safe. When properly inflated, tires yields better fuel consumption on such speeds. Grip was also ok in the city rapid accelarations and in the dirt. No noise from tires whatsoever comparing to my winter set of Gislaved or allseason tire which was assembled on rented car which I was driving few monthes ago. Price quality ratio is very good with these. Current tread depth after ~7000 kilometers is 7 mm

These tires served me well for last 4 years. I've decided to go back to original alloys now but still will go with Debica.

Given 83% while driving a Mazda RX8 (225/45 R18) on a combination of roads for 10,000 spirited miles

I’ve had those tires for 3 years now on my Mazda rx8, they are excellent for every day drive and spirited driving as well. Very good on dry and really impressive handling, in wet. I’ve also tried a track event, but they got extremely heated from the 3 round of the track. So if you don’t go to track days, then those are the best bang for your buck.

Given 79% while driving a BMW 530d F10 (245/45 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 10,000 spirited miles

For a budget tire, you can only complain about 1 thing. Wet grip! Although they are on a 530D, they are acceptable but do make the traction control work more on acceleration than premium tires like Goodyear, but that is outeighed by the superb quiet ride. Wear is average and dry grip is fine. Road manners are fine with no tracking and plenty of feedback. Overall, a fine purchase and I'd do it again.

Given 74% while driving a Audi A4 2.0 TDI 140 SLine (245/40 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 15,000 spirited miles

The tires perform exceptionally well for the price. Quiet at speed, good grip under acceleration, cornering and braking. No punctures after hitting cerbs or potholes. Happy with the wear rate. Predictable grip in damp conditions. However.. my one complaint is that I found these tires aquaplane really badly in standing water. Even when the tires were brand new and had full tread depth, any sign of standing water and the front of the car lost traction. I don't mean driving through a flood, just normal puddles on normal roads during a heavy-ish downpour, anything above 50mph and the car was unsettled. Prior to discovering this, I'd recommended the tires to a friend and he reported the same.
