Worst ResultPerformance Analysis
Across three summer tire tests, the Syron Premium Performance consistently ranks near the bottom overall, indicating a clear performance deficit versus the test leaders. The dominant pattern is weak safety-critical wet performance (braking, handling and aquaplaning), paired with only mid-to-lower-tier dry braking, which together explain the poor overall standings (17/18 in ADAC 2025 and 14/15 in Auto Bild 2021).
Its redeeming qualities are cost/efficiency related: it repeatedly scores very well on rolling resistance/fuel consumption and tends to be competitively priced/value-oriented. This makes it attractive on running costs, but the recurring wet grip shortcomings (including last-place wet metrics in 2021) are significant and consistent enough to outweigh those benefits in performance-led testing.
