Performance Analysis
Drawn from 4 tests. Updated November 26, 2025.
Across four summer tests, the Delinte DH2 consistently ranks near the bottom, with an average overall position of 31.8 and two last-tier finishes (43/43 in 2017, 40/50 in 2023). Wet safety performance is a recurring weakness, particularly in aquaplaning, and durability metrics (wear/abrasion) are poor in the most comprehensive ADAC test. The tire does show isolated positives in low external noise, fuel consumption, and purchase price/value, but these strengths are overshadowed by safety-critical deficits.
Overall, the pattern indicates a budget-oriented tire that trades wet grip, aquaplaning resistance, and longevity for lower cost, quietness, and slightly favorable fuel use. It is not competitive against mainstream options in safety-related categories.
