205 55 R16 W summer tyres test • Oponeo.co.uk
In this article we present the official results for size 205 55 R16 test by the German Automobile Club ADAC and Warentest foundation of summer tyres. We clearly present all advantages and disadvantages of 205 55 R16 W tested tyres.
If your car can drive faster than 240 km/h, you will need a W index tyre (up to 270 km/h) or higher, if only to avoid problems with the police or your insurance company. It does not matter that you don't drive as fast, the car still needs tyres to match its performance.
In the 2009 205 55 R16 W (up to 270 km/h) summer tyre test conducted by the German car club ADAC and the Warentest Foundation (German Stiftung Warentest), Michelin Primacy HP turned out to be the best. It is worth pointing out that while Michelin products ranked lower in previous tests due to the company’s focus on lowering the rolling resistance (and fuel consumption) at a price of reducing wet surface performance and braking distance, Primacy HP seems to be a successful compromise.
Five other products have also won the “highly recommended” rating. These are Continental PremiumContact 2, Nokian Z G2, Bridgestone Turanza ER300 and Firestone TR300 alpha. Due to its lower speed index, Goodyear OptiGrip, was ranked separately. Another 6 models were considered “recommended”: Dunlop SP Sport Fast Response, Maloya Futura Sport W, Uniroyal RainSport 2, Fulda Carat Exelero, Semperit Speed-Life and Kumho Ecsta HM KH31.
Note!
In ADAC tests, lower scores means better results. The tyres with the lowest scores are the most recommended by ADAC.
Unfortunately, as many as 5 out of 16 W-index products turned out to be poor. Three were ranked as “conditionally recommended”: Hankook Venrus PrimeK105, Matador MP 46 Ultra Sport Hectorra 2 and Avon AV5, while two other were “not recommended”: Mabor Sport-Jet 2 i Syron Race 1. These low ratings were usually caused by poor wet performance. As shown in the following table, two products have already been changed, so the available version with the DOT number given in the table or later can have slightly different characteristics.
Once again, it can be assumed that price does not mean quality. When buying tyres, you should also remember that price varies depending on where you buy them – both in Germany and in Poland. Unfortunately, almost 1/3 of the tyres are insufficiently good. On the other hand, it is encouraging that the leading models are not significantly more costly than the worst ones.
