2025 Die ReifenTester Summer Touring Tire Test
7th of 7 tires
  • The Imperial represented the budget end of the test and struggled against stronger rivals. Testers found its behaviour unsettling, with pronounced load‑change reactions and poor wet grip forcing ESP to work hard. The tire’s tetchy nature in both wet and dry conditions led to only a "Sufficient" overall verdict; the low price cannot compensate for the lack of safety.

Top 3 Imperial Ecosport 2 Reviews

Given 81% while driving a BMW 330 Ci Sport (225/40 R18) on a combination of roads for 25,000 spirited miles
I've been using many other budget tires in the past. Normally others would last for about a year on my BMW as we drive more than the average. The EcoSport 2 might not be the best in the rain or in fuel economy but it's definitely a compound that last longer than similar budget rubber. In my case I managed to get around 5k miles out of these which makes this the best budget tire to me.

Given 97% while driving a Volkswagen Transporter (235/55 R17) on mostly motorways for 15,500 easy going miles
I wanted to try cheap tires once and find out the difference between the previous ones that belong to a higher price class (Bridgestone Turanza ER300). I drive a passenger van VW Transporter T6, mostly three people ride in the vehicle. The van is driven mostly on the highway at a speed of 100-120km/h (60-75mph). A few times I drove a little faster in the rain through corners and the car held the road as it should. I bought the tires in May and have done 25,000km (15,500miles) to date. The tire still has a 5mm profile, consumption compared to the Bridgestone Turanza is 0.3 liters per 100km higher. After these kilometers, the tire still behaves well. To summarize: definitely a good purchase for people who don't go wild on the roads and I recommend it myself.

Given 40% while driving a Volkswagen golf 2.0 gt tdi (215/35 R18) on mostly country roads for 18,000 spirited miles
Very dangerous tires when cornering at speed.
Sloppy feedback in dry conditions (even with the tires being low profile) and gets a lot worse in wet, bad aquaplaning also.

Tires are always looking to understeer and if you try compensate they begin oversteering(on a fwd car with 140hp)

Lasted 30k kms.

Do not recommend was not worth the money saved over regular tires.
Have not experienced other tires as bad as these.

Given 43% while driving a Vauxhall Insignia CDTI SRI 160 (235/35 R20) on a combination of roads for 3,000 average miles
My tires are now at 5mm and I find the grip on corners very poor. I can feel the tires trying so hard to grip the road. A few times my traction control was coming on. These tires are good for the first 2,000/3,000 but then not. Also heavy breaking the tires don't grip. I will not be buying these tires again.

There's a new all season tire, can it be best?!
Given 69% while driving a Ford Kuga (235/55 R17) on a combination of roads for 18,000 average miles
Had no overall problems with the tires while fitted the the car. Not the best but certainly not the worst. Wear was good at first but wore very quickly towards end of life. Tires went from partially worn at 15k to having to nearly bald tires at 18k. Overall good budget tire.
