The Debica Presto UHP2 is an economy summer ultra high performance tire that majors on comfort, low noise and strong day-to-day value. Owners commonly report confident dry grip and reassuring motorway stability, with wet behavior that feels secure when the tires are fresh. Independent testing broadly agrees on its comfortable, quiet nature and highlights impressive aquaplaning resistance, but also shows a clear weakness in wet braking versus the best in class.
Overall, the Presto UHP2 lands as a sensible, good-feeling road tire rather than a sharp-edged sporty option. In dry conditions it tends to be mid-pack in tests and drivers generally find braking and grip more than adequate for normal fast-road use, helped by a compliant ride that smooths rough surfaces. In the wet, it can cope well with standing water (often scoring strongly for aquaplaning resistance), yet repeated test results show longer wet stopping distances than leading tires, which is the key safety compromise.
Running costs are a more mixed story. Many users report respectable mileage for the money, but professional results often rate wear and rolling resistance as only average to weak, and several owners note that wet grip, braking and even noise can deteriorate noticeably as the tire ages or wears. Steering feel is also commonly described as a bit soft, which can reduce confidence for more aggressive driving compared with firmer, premium UHP alternatives.

Strengths & weaknessesComfort, WetValueRelative to its rivals across every test we hold
Built from every independent test result and vetted owner review we hold for this tire - the evidence is all further down the page. Data updated October 2026.
The Debica Presto UHP2 finished 9th overall. It stood out for comfort and aquaplaning, with the highest subjective comfort score and the best curved aquaplaning result. Dry handling was also relatively strong for its finishing position, supported by a high subjective dry score, and my dry notes were very positive about steering response and adjustability. The weaknesses were in wet grip, where wet braking and subjective wet handling were in the lower half, and my wet notes describe very different cold versus warm behavior, making it harder to predict in changing conditions.

Drivers generally describe the Debica Presto UHP2 as an outstanding value tire, frequently praising its very low road noise, high comfort, and confident everyday grip and braking in both dry and wet conditions-especially when new. Many reviewers also report good high-speed stability and respectable mileage for the price. A smaller but recurring theme is that wet traction (including aquaplaning resistance) can be weaker than premium alternatives and, for some, grip/quietness noticeably deteriorates as the tire ages or wears, with a softer sidewall feel reducing steering feedback for more aggressive driving.

Excellent tire overall, at the 4th year lost some grip on wet, what only means that burnouts became possible - quite telling, at 30k miles 5mm tread left, sidewalls are tad too soft for mountain beating but for highway it is fantastic
Initial Impressions68% 10,000 miles
Tires performed excellently in everyday commuting, highways and mountain curves, im my case they've lasted about 6 years and 60k km, while nothing really excessive and won't affect easy going driver at 40k km they've started losing grip on wet and at 50k km on dry, now thread is just before markings and tires are due to replacement

Grip: The tires have decent stopping distance under moderate braking in dry. However, they have bad stopping distance in damp and wet conditions, making the ABS always active under higher than moderate braking, especially under heavy braking. Under emergency braking it fails both in dry, damp and wet conditions with very long stopping distances, borderline dangerous in damp and wet conditions under emergency braking. Road noise is very low, very comfortable for city and freeway driving. Very bad grip when accelerating moderately to hard in corners (not full throttle). The stopping distance from 100 km/h to 0 under hard braking was 40 ft longer than expected, as the car started to slow down you could feel the tires failing not to skid and activate the ABS. Very bad braking distance and handling in dry but on more dusty/dirty roads.
Check out how the BEST all seasons tires perform against premium summer and winter tires!
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.

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.
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..
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.
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.
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.
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
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
