Before describing the test results in Autonews, noted that different tires They have different positioning and are intended for different end users, therefore there are several important indicators to which each driver should pay attention to. The test results, according to experts, will help evaluate the individual characteristics of each tire, and on the basis of this, motorists will be able to make a more informed choice.

In the first discipline, the behavior of tires in the slagistic section was estimated - the pilot drove between the chips placed 18 meters from each other and to show good result The tires needed accurate reactions to the steering turns, the optimal controllability and the ability to keep the adhesion in extreme loads.

In the second part of the test, the noise level was measured at 60 and 100 km / h inside and outside the car. These values \u200b\u200bwere chosen because it is these high-speed limits in China in the cities and on the highway. The noise was measured at a constant speed, and when its volume was estimated in the cabin, all possible sound sources were disconnected, such as air conditioning, etc.

Finally, in the final part of the test, the length of the braking distance from 100 to 0 km / h was determined on dry coating. Pilots also made up their opinion on how stably tires themselves under emergency braking.

DUNLOP ENASAVE EC300 +. Best Eco-tires

These Dunlop were designed with an emphasis on fuel economy, and their protector is made of an exclusive compound that reduces rolling resistance. In addition, engineers were able to reduce heat release, which increased the wear-resistance of the tires and made them more durable. The drawing was optimized to reduce vibrations and noise levels.

Tests have shown that the tires really provide very good acoustic comfort, and the compound increases the distance of free eleg - when the car pedal is released, the car slowly loses speed. At the same time, the tires behaved very stably and in slalom, that is, for the sake of economy, they did not have to sacrificate too much.

Dunlop Grandtrek PT3. Tires for SUVs with high level of comfort

Officially tires dunlop. Grandtrek PT3 is designed for the so-called urban SUVs and are created with a focus on improving manageability and comfort. Symmetrical tread pattern reduces rolling resistance, while reducing noise level, and large blocks in shoulder zones Remind you that these are tires for large and heavy cars.

In the tests of the tires demonstrated excellent efficiency of overclocking and braking, as well as maneuverability in slalom, so experts noted that in their dynamic properties they are close to passenger tires. In general, the tires are perfect for use on crossovers in the city, and in this test they even were able to surpass initial expectations.

Giti Control 288. Tires with the highest level of safety

Thanks to the asymmetric design of the Giti tire with the Run-Flat design, a sporty character and silent could be combined, as large blocks that improve maneuverability are located in the outer zone, and the internal has been optimized to suppress noise that occurs during the passage of air flow around the tire. The enhanced frame with DuPont materials significantly reduces the risk of damage when hitting, which also increases the level of security.

Among other things, the tires have a relatively low price, and experts noted that perhaps this is one of the main arguments in their favor.

Giti 4x4 HT152. Top Highway Off-Road Tires

Giti 4x4 HT152 is designed for medium-sized SUVs and, unlike tires class AT, were developed with great attention to manageability on asphalt, as well as comfort during use in everyday life. Giti say that the tires have a reduced level of noise, and besides this design of the tread grooves was improved in order to prevent stones jam, whose cocane can make driving less comfortable.

Giti got some elements from standard off-road tires, such as additional protrusions on the sidewalls that make the design more durable and reduce the risk of damage. Experts noted that due to their universality Giti will be good choice For those who love to go beyond the city, where sometimes you have to ride bad roads or off-road.

Kumho Crugen KL33. The most balanced tires for SUVs

Since the feeling that Chinese automakers have recently been almost completely switching to the release of crossovers and SUVs, tire companies are also not lagging behind and bring all new tires for SUV class cars, such as Kumho Crugen KL33.

Kumho has a 2-layer frame, which improves the strength of the design and safety. Four drainage channels are effectively disassembled water, and the asymmetrical tread pattern was optimized to improve stability and controllability.

Among other things, the tires have reduced rolling resistance, and their resource, according to experts, is 17% higher than that of competitors. In China, tires are available in size with a diameter of 17 and 18 inches, and they can be installed on most suitable SUVs, such as Audi Q5, BMW X5, etc. AUTONEWS also noted that in comparison with other tires of this category Kumho much more quiet.

Bridgestone Driveguard A / S. Tires with a very high level of comfort and safety

Bridgestone Driveguard A / S is made using a new generation Run-Flat technology, which provides stable controllability and adhesion at zero pressure level. In addition, they are comparable to standard tires in terms of comfort, durability and clutch on wet roads.

Comfort as a whole is often concerned about those who choose the Run-Flat tires, but in Bridgestone were able to reduce the thickness of the sidewall due to tougher rubber, improving the quality of the stroke. In addition, when used with zero pressure, the sidewall is less heated - including at the expense of special "fins" - which makes the tires stronger and more comfortable. The lightweight design also allows you to improve the smoothness of the stroke.

AUTONEWS experts after tests summarized that Bridgestone was able to achieve safety and comfort balance, which is not yet available for competitors.

Medallion MD-A1. Best ratio Prices and qualities

These are new tires issued by Cheng Shin in 2015 as the flagship model of its brand. The asymmetric drawing helped the tires in the slagistic section, where they demonstrated handling and comfort at the level of foreign analogues.

The MEDAllion design was improved to absorb the blows, improving comfort, and another tire feature is their outstanding abilities in terms of noise absorption, noted in Autonews.

"In general, all the characteristics of Medallion were excellent and balanced, and given their cost and positioning, it can be said that they have an excellent value for money," experts added.

Goodyear. EfficientGrip Performance. Gen II. The highest level of comfort

Goodyear designed for luxury cars representative classAnd, as it should be expected, possess a very high level of acoustic and mechanical comfort. The closed design of the grooves prevents the flow of air flow, reducing the noise level, and the improved distribution of pressure in the contact spot in combination with the frame, effectively absorbing shock, made the course more smooth and comfortable.

Have not forgotten in goodyear and about security so in rubber mix A large amount of silica has been added, which has strengthened the grip on the wet surface.

According to experts, in the tire segment for luxury cars, comfort is one of the key factors for potential buyers, and goodyear tires Perfectly suitable in order to satisfy this demand.

At the landfill company Pirelli. Next to Milan Malpensa Airport we settled for a week: we needed to experience nine models summer tires dimension 225/45 R17.

List of tested tires:

At this test site, we worked for the first time and, confess, feared for the success of the enterprise. First, Italians, as you know, are not famous for punctuality, and secondly, there were ... closely! It is located on the territory of the Ticino National Park - and because it cannot grow. Tracks are arranged tightly, and sometimes we had to share the roads with other testes. And yet, the point is to disperse with the car, which trailer tuscated with tires installed on it for Formula 1! To carry out "attendant" tests of racing tires, there are few places here, and we found "laboratory work" on the study of the spots of contact "formula" tires.

And yet we made everything that outlined, and on time! Our "credit" car - Audi A3 Sedan.

In general, the test program is standard, and the focus, as usual, we have given safety on the wet asphalt - the most dangerous summer coating.

However, the braking path from the speed of 100 km / h on the half of the test tires was less than 40 meters. In this, of course, there is a merit of a perfectly tuned ABS of our car, but the main thing is the quality of the tires. Particularly pleased with ContiSportContact 5: the car freezes after 37.6 meters! But we need to recall once again that the measurement technique is somewhat different from the one that we apply in the course of our comparative tests cars: there the driver starts inhibition from the speed of 101-102 km / h, and the result is influenced by delay in the triggering of the brake drive, and during tires, the slowdown begins with 110 km / h, at 100 km / h, the device starts counting the path to stop - and As a result, it turns out a couple of meters shorter. All the same - excellent results! More precisely, it was perfect until the Dunlop SP SPORT LM704 tires installed on the car. At the first braking, uncle Vana did not have enough wet track length - and the car slipped into a dry asphalt. I had to move the point of starting braking, and the result was 55.5 meters! Wet road and really cunning ...

Is it worth talking to what caution I took a controller on the wet track? The track is small, the maintenance zone is narrow ... I turn off the stabilization system - and forward. On the high-speed arc, the car accelerates up to 90 km / h, it slides in turns by all four wheels, and it is not necessary to control the sliding of labor. Especially on Continental or Michelin tires.

No incident and Dunlop tires, although I had to go slower.

And on the track, a flooded layer of water with a thickness of 7 mm, the Dunlop tires and pulled themselves to other test participants. It is already important here not so much composition of the rubber mixture, with which Dunlop tires clearly trouble how much drainage properties of the tread.
After a series of measurements, in which the speed of starting to slip the leading wheels is fixed, it turned out that the best drainage is provided tires Hankook, and the protocol is closed all the same Dunlop tires.

The test program on dry asphalt was reduced to braking from a speed of 100 km / h and the "Perestrovka" maneuver, imitating a detour of an unexpected obstacle.

In the first exercise, the leaders were Continental and Michelin tires, in the second, with a fair separation, - Pirelli P Zero tires, but they are out of exchange, because they are a top model Pirelli, chosen on the role of a kind of standard, and mostly tire standing on class, or even two, below. Of these, the continental tires were better than others on the "rearrangement".

Now - about comfort. There are several sections with artificial irregularities on the landfill, there is a pavement, there are asphalt of different roughness. Travel - and came to the conclusion that from the point of view of acoustic comfort, all tires are very close. Is that BRIDGESTONE TURANZA T001 tires slightly noiser than others on the rough asphalt.

But the difference in smoothness is noticeable. Better than others - michelin tires Primacy 3, Nokian Hakka Blue and Pirelli Cinturato. P7 Blue. And stronger Bridgestone Turanza T001, Continental ContiSportContact 5, Hankook Ventus S1 EVO 2 and Pirelli P Zero.

In conclusion, both leading, "shock tests" - passages through a metal-cue bar height 81 mm. Increasing the speed of 5 km / h with each race, Uncle Vanya did not calm down, while the tire finally did not empty the Spirit.

The most "oak" - in a good sense! - The extra-first Pirelli P Zero tires, laid up to 75 km / h. From the main group, the best of others opposed Toyo and Dunlop tire strikes. And worse than all - Pirelli Cinturato P7 Blue: Pose 55 km / h. Pretty! These tires have the smallest rolling resistance, and this is achieved and by reducing the sidewall thickness. By the way, they weigh less than others. But prices ...

Tires Pirelli Cinturato P7 Blue is a novelty, and sell them in Russia already on the "new" euro course, and this is almost 9,000 rubles for a dimension tire 225/45 R17. By the way, the tires of a higher class Pirelli P Zero at the end of February could still be found in online stores for 5800 rubles per piece. Hurry!

According to the results of our tests, the CONTINENTAL CONTISPORTCONTACT CONTACTCT 5. Recommended! But from buying tires Dunlop SP SPORT LM704 is better to refuse.

The weather on the Italian polygon was perfect - 18-20 degrees of heat, but the nights were cold, and in one day we left the roads of the landfill early to put the experiment.

There were seven degrees of heat - at such a temperature it is already recommended to change summer tires for the winter. But Uncle Vanya does not do it, and travels on the tires Pirelli Cinturato P7 Blue on the wet track to re-measure the braking path. Tens of braking - and mechanics change these tires on Pirelli P Zero. The task is to understand how the coupling properties of the tires of different class decrease with a decrease in temperature. So, if at 20 degrees the brake path on tires pirelli Cinturato P7 Blue amounted to 39.9 meters, then with a decrease in temperature to plus seven, it increased to 42.8 meters. Almost three meters difference. Remember? And in the case of Pirelli P Zero tires, the brake path at low temperature has already increased five meters - and this is exactly necessary not to forget!

This, according to the Specialist of the Pirelli Tire Development Department Stephen Custer, general pattern, and it applies not only to tires Pirelli.. Mixes that are used for production sports tires UHP class, calculated precisely on high temperatures to provide the best coupling properties with temperamental driving, including racing tracks. And at low temperatures, such tires "Dube" are stronger.

We made the same measurements on the "ordinary" tires of the HP class - Continental and Dunlop. In the first, the braking path increased by two meters, but for the brake properties of Dunlop tires, the temperature almost no effect was: as it was bad and remained.

The opinions of experts on tested tires are presented below

The German magazine AUTOBILD tested more than 50 models of Summer Tires of 185/60 R 15, intended for CD cars. The first places in the deceleration test went to Pirelli, Continental and Dunlop.

AUTOBILD is looking for the best tires to the new summer season. On the test landfill 53 models of summer tires for CD cars (185/60 R 15). Specialists carefully studied their braking path, handling, protection against aquaplaning, noise and comfort, as well as efficiency (wear resistance and rolling resistance). In the first part of the test, the braking path of each model was measured on a dry and wet road at a speed of 100 km / h. And only 18 tires showing best resultThe second part of the test was allowed, where their operational properties were considered in detail.

Surprise this season: The best result on the wet road demonstrated Nankang XR611 Toursport - only 35.4 meters. True, on the wet asphalt, her braking path was lengthened by 25 meters - not enough to get to the "Higher League".

Balanced behavior demonstrated Pirelli Cinturato P1 Verde (37.0 and 47.5 meters on a dry and wet road, respectively), in general, this is the best test result. It follows Continental PremiumContact 5 (36.6 / 48.1 meters), Dunlop Sport Bluresponse (35.9 / 49.5 meters) and Bridgestone Turanza T001 (36.4 / 49.8 meters). The Sailun, Autogrip, Tristar, Silverstone, Toyo, Rotalla and Maxtrek, which had more than 70 meters in the wet, turned out to be the most dangerous. For comparison: where the car on Pirelli tires stopped, the car with the Maxtrek tires continued to be rushed at a speed of over 65 km / h.

Test results.

The following 18 tires received a pass in the second test of the test.

Official information:

Developing the Dunlop SP SPORT 01 model, Dunlop engineers sought to combine all the main elements: speed, safety, silent. The asymmetric design of the tread made it possible to divide the tread into three zones in accordance with three basic requirements: speed, safety and silentness.

The innovative design of the three-segment tread allows you to ensure the smoothness of the stroke and the high level of security, and also ensures the optimal behavior of the car on the road, regardless of the state of the road surface and road Conditions. It does this model Ideal for high-grade top segment cars, as well as for luxury sedans.

This tire goes to the primary configuration of such cars as Mercedes-Benz S, E and Classes, BMW 7 and 5 Series, Jaguar XF and others.

Test

After testing winter tires Michelin X-Ice North Xin2 (215/60R16) on the front-wheel drive Skoda Yeti with 1.2 TSI and DSG-7 (MICHELIN X-Ice North Xin2 Winter Tires (215 / 60R16)) were tested by the Summer Tires of the Japanese Dunlop brand. After a few weeks, it was not spring, but at once the summer. Therefore, Dunlop SP SPORT 01 tires have been tested not spring, but a summer day. Test Yeti S. fully drive, Motor 1,8tsi and a re-advertising box of DSG-6 was executed in the most expensive equipment of the Elegance, so the default 17-inch alloy wheels were installed, which were shods in Dunlop SP SPORT 01 with a dimension of 225/50R17.

It is noteworthy that on the official Dunlop website in Russia, the SP SPort 01 tire is represented only in four dimensions (listed in the table above), although Dunlop SP SPORT 01 is found in the car dealer dealer dealer dealer centers of Dunlop SP SPORT 01, starting from 185 / 60R14 and ending 265/45R21. Test dimension 225/50R17 on the Dunlop website is not detected.

In the official press release of the Japanese tire manufacturer, it is said that working out Dunlop SP Sport 01, engineers of the company sought to make a bus as quickly as possible, safe and quiet. To achieve their goals, they used a protector with an asymmetric pattern, separating the contact stain into three zones, according to three basic requirements. But today, the asymmetric pattern of the tread is used in the extremely large number of tires. The same design at Hankook Ventus Prime 2, Nokian Hakka Blue, Pirelli Cinturato P7, Continental ContipremiumContact 5, Michelin Pilot Sport 3, Goodyear EfficientGrip and many other tires. And they all very adequately behave on the road, although there is a couple of exceptions. So an asymmetrical drawing is the right choice?

Yes, undoubtedly! But on the other hand, there are tires with directional patterns that keep the road no worse asymmetric tires. For example, Vredestein Sportrac 3. The fact is that the most important component of the design of any modern tire is rubber mixtures. The use of the right mixtures, in the correct combination makes the tire extremely obedient, safe and projected. A strong manufacturer, a strong tire concern independently develops the necessary mixes. Make it is incredibly expensive, spending and hard. Therefore, secrets about mixtures have to be protected.

Well, how well do Dunlop engineers managed to apply mixtures with asymmetric pattern in the SP SPORT 01 model? The correct answer is very and very successful. Especially on the asphalt. On a flat, hard coating machine, shown in Dunlop SP Sport 01, rides exactly, understandable and quiet. At high speed reaction on the steering wheel, accurate, fast and timely. Brake path encouraging.

But you don't need to go into liquid dirt on Dunlop SP SPORT 01! Even if all-wheel drive SUV wish in them. Japanese tires Made clearly not for Buerakov. Their habitat is a city or highway, and it is advisable to foreign, where there are no holes, junctions and bumps on the road ...

Total "Something Actual Questions about Oil

Our country is rich in climatic conditions, and in traveling around the country as a tourist or at work often there are situations when you need to move from one climatic zone to another. At the same time, there is a logical question, what to do with oil and is it necessary? The head of the Technical Department Total Vostok Roman Korchagin is responsible for questions.

We test Mio Mivue C537 - DVR with GPS informer

Probably, in each model line there is a device that looks like a sowing horse. As a rule, it is inexpensive, but very functional, and inconspicuous against the background of fellow, since all the attention of marketers is given to flagship models. It is under such a description that the video recorder Mio MiVue C537 is located is a simple, convenient and inexpensive device.

We responded to the wishes of readers to test models that have not previously participated in comparative tests. In this test, many new products and tires dropped out of our area in the past.

Three tires fighting for leadership deserve special attention, "Nokian", "Continental" and "Bridgestone". The first two are long-standing competitors, but the "Japanese" made their way into leaders somewhat unexpected for us.

The first place was taken by the model "Potential S001" from Bridgestone. But the high price raises the price / quality ratio before the record 5.34.

Novelty from "Continental" - "Conny Premium Contact 5" completes the series of "fifth" summer models that have published last year. Decent tower, ratio price / quality is a bit more profitable than the Bridgestone, - 5,13. In the spring of this year in Russia will be sold limited.

The winner of the last year's test "Pirelli-Chinkuto P7" - a very gambling tire, slightly passed its position only under the pressure of the new products that appeared. Nevertheless, it was kept on the podium, and among the tires of the first five of the world manufacturers, it is the most seductive price / quality: 4.03.

In the antiquity of "Michelin-Primacy HP", despite the "old" age, there is still gunpowder in the boohlnitsa, he quite convincingly plays muscles.

But on his gray-haired tail already comes "Toyo-Procedi T1 Sport", which has long proven the vast of the brand, which has long been included in the better five in our tests.

NEW "HENKUKA" - "Ventu Prime 2" came close to the frontier 900 points, and this is, in our definition, a planka for a very good tires. And immediately raised the price: the price / quality ratio, equal to 4.45, is higher than that of Pielli.

"Dunlop-SP Sport 9000" still looks quite worthy, therefore is in demand.

"Gudier" with the model "Effishnt Fun" slightly lags behind the first five. Value for money, equal to 4.99, for a general level in 871 points I consider it high.

Cordiant Sport 2, who scored 857 points, opens a parade of domestic developments. With the price / quality ratio of 3.73 - a very profitable purchase.

"Iokohama" with the model "C.Deriv 2" did not hit the first half of our list (only 839 points in the overall standings), but requests are not by ran: the ratio of price / quality is 5.13 - on a par with "Continentham" standing on second place.

"VIITITI STRADA" is a sonorous name, the product of the Nizhnekamsky tire plant is not very helped: modest 830 points. But at the same time an ambitious price / quality ratio is 4.22, that is, higher than that of Pielli, which fell on the podium.

The overseas brand "Premiorry" did not add the advantages of the new development of the "Solazo" of the Ukrainian plant "Rosava". But, despite the "skinny" 806 points, "fat" ratio of price / quality - 3.47! Many of those who prefer a weighted ride will surely turn attention to this tire.

"Hakka Blue", a novelty from Nokian, is very strong. Characteristics are stable and practically independent of the coating condition. Alas, because of the late starting production tire did not have time in the main test, and we spent extra. Results are recalculated using two comparison tire sets that have been working in both tests. Eminent tires often use similar methods, calling the basic tires with reference. However, since weather Tests still differed, and the test car, let the same brand, were different, this tire protrudes out of test. In addition, in some exercises, the results turned out to be better than those were taken for 100% mainly test.
