10 softest summer tires

Asymmetric summer tires that are distinguished by high mechanical and acoustic comfort, as well as reliable grip in all weather conditions. Such indicators were achieved thanks to the proprietary technology for the manufacture of a rubber compound with a high content of silicon dioxide - NanoPro-Tech^TM. The basis of the side walls is a reinforced carcass, which allows you to maintain the shape of the rubber even at zero pressure.Also, strengthening the frame made it possible to reduce the thickness of the sidewalls, which had a positive effect on the comfort of movement.

Users note that the tires perfectly hold the road on dry and wet surfaces, and also serve for a long time even with intensive use. Compared to competitors, the model is lightweight - you begin to appreciate this feature especially when it comes time to change tires. Some users do not particularly like the shallow depth and rustic tread pattern, but this is already a matter of taste.

The Pirelli Cinturato P7 is not sharp to drive, but it has excellent grip on summer roads. You have to put up with a slight roll (manifested at low speeds), because this is the flip side of comfort. Summer tires are moderately soft, they work quietly, perfectly smoothing out small potholes and road bumps. While providing a smooth ride, the tires wear out faster than the models of the nearest competitors. However, this does not upset the owners at all, because the main expectations from the Pirelli Cinturato P7 soft rubber are fully justified.

Tires have sensitive sidewalls, and hitting the edges of potholes at high speeds will inevitably cause bulges. It is also easy to break them on the curb, therefore, in the operation of this tire, the driver of the car is required to exercise more care and accuracy. At the same time, the rubber is by no means designed for “slow-movers” - it is quite tenacious, light and perfectly holds the road at speed.

The Hankook Tire Ventus V12 evo2 K120 high-performance tire has been known to the consumer for almost six years now. Due to its characteristics, it continues to enjoy popularity and stable demand in the domestic market even now. The level of comfort that appears in a car “shod” in these tires deserves special attention. You only need to hold the Tire Ventus V12 in your hands to understand how soft it is. It may even seem that it is even too much for summer tires. However, the whole secret of the tire is hidden in the rubber compound (although the tread pattern is also unusual).

The inclusion of silica and styrene with a functional component allows soft rubber to demonstrate "obedience" in maneuvering. The handling of the car in corners is just excellent - there is not even the slightest hint of slipping from the trajectory. Behavior on wet roads is just as confident. As for wear, it all depends on how you ride: some managed to skate on these tires for three seasons, and for someone they turned into slicks by the middle of the next summer after purchase.

This rubber is so soft that it is recommended to install it on cars with a rigid suspension, otherwise a completely unexpected effect is very likely - passengers and the driver will simply be rocked.Large-diameter tires are quieter, and various obstacles encountered on the road (potholes, small pits, tram rails, joints, etc.) do not have a noticeable effect on the car - the softness of the rubber allows you to literally “swallow” bumps.

A high degree of contact with the roadway provides effective braking. The tires hold the road perfectly, on wet roads they show the same confident grip as on dry ones. They are very sensitive and obedient in control, regardless of the selected speed mode. The disadvantage is relatively rapid wear. An overly soft sidewall of a tire can be easily damaged when it hits large potholes with sharp edges.

The summer tire for medium and high-class cars has high performance characteristics, among which rubber softness is of great importance. The innovative composition of the rubber compound, containing the composition of three elastic polymers, determines the economy, good abrasion resistance and softness of the rubber. Thanks to these qualities, contact with the road surface is further enhanced and a low noise level is ensured during operation of the wheel.

The soft tread, smoothly turning into the side part, is reinforced with self-locking sipes, which affect the smoothness of the ride and the reliability of the car's brake system. On wet pavement, it shows great efficiency. However, the quality composition of the tire, which provides softer operation and better grip, causes wear too quickly.As the tread wears out, the running properties of the tire practically do not deteriorate, ensuring high-quality work until the resource is completely depleted.

European premium tires, specially designed for comfortable long-distance travel. Thanks to the special composition of the Grip Booster rubber compound, the model remains smooth and controllable at high speeds, and the use of SoundComfort technology allows you to enjoy rides in almost complete silence. The design of the side parts eliminates the possibility of damage to the discs in contact with the curbs. It is also worth noting the RunOnFlat technology, which allows you to continue moving even in the event of a puncture.

The high cost of rubber fully justifies itself with its quality and impressive service life - most owners of these tires are sure of this. The car is fully controlled at high speed and brakes perfectly on asphalt, regardless of weather conditions. This applies specifically to high-quality road surfaces - it is better not to go to rough terrain, especially during rain.

Universal tires with symmetrical tread designed for roads with good asphalt surface. A complex pattern with a large number of lamellas reduces the noise level and increases the useful life - the rubber behaves well on the road even with a significant drop in temperature. The developers have taken care of the comfort of users - asphalt joints and speed bumps model runs very smoothly. Compared to the previous generation, manufacturers have somewhat reduced the noise level, but it is still far from ideal.

In the reviews, the owners of the model fully confirm the properties and characteristics declared by the manufacturer. The model really retains its elasticity at zero temperature, which allows you not to rush a visit to the tire shop after the first frost. The tire also demonstrates quite good driving performance on dirt roads, so going out into the countryside will not be a particular problem for car owners.

Rubber is the embodiment of modern technology, and even its tread pattern was created on the basis of mathematical calculations. The exclusive Pirelli Noise Canceling System technology significantly reduces noise and vibration (several times) when the tire rotates. The quality of natural rubber and active components made it possible to combine the softness of rubber and excellent performance properties. Tires belong to the Green Performance class and are environmentally friendly due to the absence of oil products in the raw material base.A special sealing layer on the inner side of the tire (Seal Inside) allows you to completely ignore wheel punctures.

Low rolling resistance reduces fuel consumption. Despite its softness, rubber is not very susceptible to temperature heating and retains grip at the proper level, regardless of the intensity of use. On wet pavement, braking is much more effective than on dry surfaces. When maneuvering, it behaves predictably, has good directional stability, but the tire is completely unadapted to movement in a rut.

The medium class tire offers its owners an optimal level of driving performance and comfort. The tire is designed for measured operation in the summer, due to the very soft rubber, there is practically no noise during operation. It provides high-quality grip on asphalt roads, unpaved surfaces, confidently walks on sandy and rocky areas, wet grass.

The tire is light enough and perfectly balanced due to the presence of nylon threads to reinforce the cord. Dynapro HP2 RA33 is stable on wet roads, maintaining confident grip thanks to the numerous tread drainage channels. Due to the soft sidewall, a comfortable speed does not exceed 120 km / h, after which the handling begins to deteriorate, and in order to maintain the course of the car, you have to constantly steer.

The name of this summer tire has a sporty character, and the Michelin Latitude Sport 3 really lives up to expectations with its high-speed characteristics, as well as obedience and stability in handling. The excellent braking distance of the car allows us to talk about this tire as the safest. In many ways, these properties of rubber have become possible due to the double carcass, which provides high rigidity to soft rubber.

Despite better wear resistance and excellent handling, it is really quiet and comfortable. The secret combination of elastomers in the rubber compound and the high-tech construction made it possible to combine mutually exclusive parameters. This provided Michelin Latitude Sport 3 with high popularity and demand, including in the domestic market. Tires perfectly withstand extreme driving, have better directional stability and demonstrate excellent steering sensitivity. At the same time, they have such properties as profitability, softness and lack of noise during movement. Without a doubt, this rubber rightfully takes first place in the category.
