10 most durable summer tires

Hankook Tire Ventus Prime3 K125 tires are designed for driving on dry and wet asphalt. Reliable grip with the track is provided by a special projector pattern and more rigid blocks. Such elements allowed to increase the contact patch. This reduced the load on each individual part of the tread pattern and increased the wear resistance of the rubber. Four channels of different depths act as the main drainage system - the tires are not subject to aquaplaning.

Balancing requires heavy weights. Tires are absolutely not designed for driving on mud and wet grass - they skid heavily, the tread is clogged with clay. When driving on dry rough roads, the wheels are very rough and noisy, and their braking distance is too long. From driving on hot asphalt, tires wear out faster.

The Dunlop SP Sport FM800 tires are made from a high quality compound with a high proportion of silicone and advanced polymers to ensure a uniform compound and high tensile strength of the tread. This allows the rubber to painlessly endure a long ride at high speeds. The breaker includes an additional third layer, which is made of synthetic cord. This makes the "substrate" more rigid, the contact patch retains its size and shape. These properties make rubber durable.

However, the sidewalls of the tires are too soft - if accidentally contacted with the curb, a whole piece could break out. They make too much noise when driving on any roads, except for smooth asphalt. Small stones get stuck inside the tread, hit the suspension and bodywork. When driving on a track, you need to hold the steering wheel tighter.

Tires Viatti Strada Asimmetrico V-130 are made of tough durable rubber. They are considered one of the most wear-resistant, as the material is very strong in all parts, including the sides. The tread securely grips the track when driving on both dry and very wet surfaces. Tires are absolutely not subject to aquaplaning, they do not feel the rut at all. Confidently withstand attacks on very large pits and bumps, while after 2 seasons of operation, wear is almost invisible.

On dry pavement, when driving at high speed, you have to hold the steering wheel tighter.Bumps on bumps are strongly felt in the cabin. Rubber is too noisy on any surface, except for perfectly smooth asphalt. When balancing, a lot of weights are required, and a lot of small stones get stuck inside the tread. High stiffness has a bad effect on traction when braking - sometimes the car starts to slide, especially on hot pavement.

Michelin Energy XM2 tires are made of durable rubber, as they were originally designed for use on bad roads. This is the best tire model for sedans, compacts and city cars. The main goal of the manufacturer is to minimize the risk of a possible tire burst when hitting a pothole at high speed. Based on the test results, experts concluded that this model is 7% more durable than its competitors.

According to some drivers, the rubber is too hard and prone to hydroplaning, an aggressive driving style is not combined with it. The car does not go well along the track, unreliably adheres to dry asphalt during acceleration and braking, hardly rides on fine grass and loose surfaces (sand). There are samples of tires that are poorly balanced (even frankly curves).

Michelin Primacy 4 tires have the highest wear resistance. During their production, special elastomers are included in the composition of the compound. This is done for better grip with the track to reduce the braking distance. For the same purpose, grooves of two types are made in the tread pattern: some are square in shape, others taper closer to the base.Such tire features not only increase the quality of grip with the road surface, but also minimize abrasive wear - the service life of each pair is significantly increased.

According to drivers, when driving at a low speed, the wheels throw up small pebbles that hit the fender liner. At the same time, all the bumps on the road are strongly felt in the cabin, especially on the steering wheel and pedals, that is, the rubber is hard. The side parts of the tires are not very strong, defects immediately appear when they come into contact with the curbs.

Yokohama Advan Sport V105 is a reliable summer tire for passenger cars. Compared to its predecessors, this model has a 14% reduction in noise level - safety and comfort during trips are achieved thanks to the serrated edges of the stiffening ribs and the increased tread area. To increase the wear resistance of rubber, the manufacturer added natural orange oil to its composition, which reduces the erasing of the projector, and due to the reinforced lightweight and durable frame, the pressure is evenly distributed over the contact patch without creating bald spots.

However, not everything is smooth with this model, as customer reviews show.Some users note that the car at high speeds "plans" in the rain, and tires create acoustic discomfort. But, according to buyers, Advan Sport V105 lasts long and well.

Summer tires Bridgestone Alenza 001 are great for off-road enthusiasts. The model is highly economical. This was achieved through the Nano Pro-Techt technology, which consists in the uniform distribution of polymers and silica throughout the rubber compound. It was possible to increase the operational resource thanks to special jumpers connecting the blocks in the shoulder areas of the tread. This leads to the fact that the contact patch remains constant, so the load is distributed evenly.

In addition, due to the rounding of the shoulder areas, the grip properties of the tire on wet roads are increased. The only drawback that drivers were able to identify with this model is a little noise. Otherwise, consumers note the long service life of tires and high efficiency. Every trip on Alenza 001 tires is comfortable and safe.

MAXXIS AT-980 Bravo is a reliable off-road tire. The manufacturer has achieved an increase in the strength of the model thanks to a rigid frame made entirely of steel cord. In addition, stability and ease of handling are provided by the engagement edges formed by the central area blocks. Also, the braking distance has become shorter than that of competitors by 6%.In this model, increased strength, resistance to abrasive abrasion.

The tire has become better able to withstand exposure to extreme temperatures. The manufacturer achieved this by adding various additives to the compound. According to user ratings, this model is noisy, which can distract from the road. However, as drivers note, this cannot be called a minus, rather, a small flaw that becomes invisible against the background of the pluses of the tire.

Summer tires BFGoodrich All-Terrain T / A KO2 are considered a real classic. Thanks to the use of CoreGuard technology, their rigidity has been increased. It was possible to reduce wear unevenness by increasing the width of the tread, so the contact patch spreads more evenly. Also, special elements in the grooves contribute to the increase in wear resistance, protecting against stones getting stuck. The updated design of the shoulder zones guarantees confident behavior on difficult terrain.

The tire also performs adequately on ice and snow-covered surfaces, thanks to 3D sipes and staggered blocks. The vast majority of users were satisfied with this model, despite its severity. Especially drivers are pleased with the long service life and reliability.

Toyo Open Country U/T tires are designed specifically for pickups and SUVs - the perfect choice for lovers of comfortable and economical trips.The modified rubber composition increased the wear resistance of this model, and the content of silicon dioxide in the composition, which reduces the rolling resistance coefficient, contributed to fuel economy. Also, the manufacturer managed to achieve increased efficiency by using a non-directional tread pattern. It also helped improve wet grip.

Tires have a high wear resistance rating, which significantly exceeds the parameters of previous models. Drivers highlight the high efficiency and "survivability" of tires, but with noise, according to consumers, not everything goes smoothly: it appears mainly at higher speeds and sometimes distracts from driving. Otherwise, the drivers were very pleased with the comfort and safety of trips.
