The Best Recommended Summer Tyres for Cars

Instead of starting from the bottom, let's begin with the top: the absolute best is the Continental Contact 7, recommended for exceptional wet braking, stability, and precision in corners, offering excellent comfort/performance balance and long-lasting durability. It does have drawbacks: it is slightly noisy and the rolling resistance is not the best. In second place is the Pirelli PZero PZ5, which provides incredible grip in both dry and wet conditions, precise and direct handling, with an aggressive tread pattern. However, it has higher wear rates, a high price, and is quite noisy. In third place, we have the Michelin Pilot Sport EV, designed for electric vehicles: very quiet, low rolling resistance but only offers B class wet grip and is quite expensive. In fourth place is the Hankook Ventus Prime 4, perfect for those who drive many miles, offering excellent value for money, quiet and comfortable with good wet grip. Its downsides are that it does not perform excellently in extreme conditions and the rolling resistance is not the highest. In fifth place is the Continental Eco Contact 5, ideal for city use: optimised rolling resistance, good on dry and in town, economical. However, it is not suitable for sporty driving and wet grip is just average.
