Top 10 R14 Summer Tires

Tires are often chosen by owners of Lada Grant and Renault Logan because of the combination of excellent performance and affordability. These tires are quiet, not as stiff as previous models from Nokian, and they give a feeling of confidence when driving in any summer weather. The deep tread pattern with diagonal sipes provides long-term hydroplaning resistance. True, when driving on a track, the tires do not behave in the best way. And high-speed drivers who often drive on bumpy roads periodically encounter hernias - the cord of this model is considered a weak spot.

The model has improved performance due to computerized simulation.The two-layer tread increases the reliability of the tire and reduces its rolling resistance. Soft quiet tires give the driver comfort when driving on asphalt and ground. They smoothly pass through the pits, hold the road well when changing lanes with a non-aggressive driving style. Despite the fact that soft beads are prone to herniation, the owners of these tires rarely experience such problems. Basically, if you combine high speed and bumpy roads. The tread pattern provides confident movement through puddles and light mud. But some drivers find it difficult to keep a course on ruts on these tires. Nevertheless, at a low cost, tires are quite wear-resistant and last at least 4-5 seasons.

Despite the symmetrical pattern, the tires provide good vehicle handling in both dry and rainy weather - the diagonal grooves on the tread contribute to good drainage. But the symmetry allows you to install tires on either side. Drivers note that the tires are soft, they overcome bumps on the road well. They are quiet and ride calmly through the mud.But the wear resistance of tires leaves much to be desired: at 20,000 km of run, it can reach 50%. In addition, the cord is not very reliable here, since driving on Russian uneven roads, combined with high speed, regularly ends in the appearance of hernias.

Soft and quiet tires from Matador are perfect for Russian roads. They smoothly pass road bumps with a calm driving style, but are not very suitable for a sporty driving style. The weak point in almost all soft tires is the cord. This tire, unfortunately, is no exception. It's best to avoid curb laps and record speeds on bad roads. In all other respects, these tires are liked by most drivers. They perfectly adhere to dry asphalt and demonstrate stable directional stability. In addition, they are quite wear-resistant and prevent hydroplaning. Water is quickly removed from the contact patch due to the features of the drainage system, which includes 4 volumetric longitudinal grooves in the center of the tread. From them, water is quickly discharged to the outside through transverse curved grooves.

Tires designed for calm and confident driving. Moderately soft, they overcome road obstacles smoothly and maintain acoustic comfort on most surfaces. The asymmetrical tread pattern and increased contact patch provide tire stability, precise response and stable grip. A feature of this rubber is its focus on European environmental standards. The composition of the rubber mixture helps to reduce fuel consumption with high wear resistance. True, drivers have noticed that the sidewalls have become thinner and softer compared to previous models. Which increases the likelihood of hernias and cuts.

Russian-made budget tires are bought for cars of various classes. They are suitable for Lada Grant, Renault Logan, owners of more expensive cars choose them for summer operation. Everyone notes high wear resistance, durable sidewalls, confident behavior on dry and wet roads. The tread pattern with diagonal sipes and angled sipes helps to maintain handling on wet pavement. Water is quickly evacuated from the contact patch and the risk of hydroplaning is minimized. The only thing is that summer Viatti are quite noisy. Although the perception of sound depends on the level of sound insulation in the car and the road surface.

Tires designed for confident driving at any speed and in any weather. The asymmetric tread has several functional zones: large shoulder blocks provide excellent stability during maneuvers and braking, and wide central grooves minimize the risk of aquaplaning even during high-speed traffic. These tires can not be called soft, but still on bumpy roads they go with sufficient comfort and directional stability.However, drivers agree that at speeds over 130 km / h, you should not count on perfect handling. However, both on the highway and in the city, such numbers on the speedometer are prohibited. The owners of the Eagle Sport have no complaints about wear resistance.

The most expensive model of our selection is one of the most popular tires among car owners of cars of different classes. Drivers note high wear resistance and excellent behavior of tires on wet roads. Reinforced by lamellas with variable depth, the central rib retained its ability to take water from the road. And the wide channels for drainage cope with their task instantly, minimizing the possibility of aquaplaning. Tires hold the trajectory well, confidently entering turns. At the same time, the moderate softness of the rubber compound maintains comfort and behaves quite quietly on the roads. The disadvantages of drivers include the high cost of tires and too soft sidewalls.

Japanese tires are traditionally associated with reliability. They have all the characteristics for perfect handling and high wear resistance. Moderately hard rubber keeps the balance between directional stability and comfort for the driver and passengers. The wide grooves of the tread quickly cope with the removal of water from the contact patch and maintain grip on wet asphalt at a level sufficient for safety. Cars on this rubber move confidently on the ground, however, drivers complain about stone chips getting stuck in the tread grooves. But the tire is not subject to minor damage and has a strong sidewall.

Inexpensive summer tires of the British brand are designed by the manufacturer for those who are looking for a balance of comfort and handling. At the same time, affordability makes tires attractive for owners of budget cars. The central longitudinal rib is resistant to deformation. It largely provides impeccable handling and directional stability at any allowable speed. Tires are not designed for sports racing - you should not expect ideal behavior from them when the speedometer needle goes off scale. The depth and pattern of the tread with a larger contact patch increases the chances of avoiding hydroplaning and guarantees excellent dry grip. But in a rut filled with water, the wheels slip. This rubber is soft and quiet, which is an advantage for riders with a relaxed driving style. For fans of fast driving, the cord in these tires is rather weak, as hernias can form.
