Expert summary
The UltraContact NXT is Continental's newest summer model, launched in 2024 with no predecessor — and it's already won both tests it entered. Wet performance is the standout, with short braking distances and confident handling on wet asphalt. Dry is precise too, though the dry braking slightly trails its wet capabilities. Comfort and noise levels are high, which makes it very pleasant for everyday use. Only 23 sizes are available so far, so check if yours is covered before getting too excited.

Expert summary
When safety meets sportiness, you get the Pirelli Cinturato C3. It posted the best dry braking distance in test and backs it up with excellent wet grip and handling. Low rolling resistance adds efficiency to the mix, though noise levels and aquaplaning in standing water are only average.

Continental did it again with the PremiumContact 7. It’s an incredibly well balanced tire with just the right wet and dry grip and above average mileage. Since it’s launch in 2023 it got nothing but the best results in the tests, the only downside being it’s premium price.

The previous model was already a good, economy-focused model and the Primacy 5 is expected to take it even further with 18% better mileage. But Michelin said also the wet performance is improved, which is something we are looking forward to see in the tests.

Expert summary
Despite its name, this tyre is focused mainly on efficiency and comfort, which is where it excels. It has got a great mileage and low exterior noise, while maintaining very safe wet characteristics. Dry braking is its weak spot, so it's better suited for drivers that value comfort and efficiency over sporty driving.

7.4
Price from£113
Expert summary
The ZE320 is Falken's follow-up to the ZE310, and in some areas it's a clear step forward — dry handling is strong, and it's one of the quietest tyres in its class. Tyre Reviews even rated it highly recommended with top marks in wet handling. That said, wet braking is a real weak spot, especially in cooler conditions, and cross aquaplaning protection is poor. Higher rolling resistance and limited mileage are familiar problems carried over from the predecessor. Available in only 52 sizes, it's still a decent pick if you prioritize a quiet, composed ride and don't push hard in the wet.

Price from£123
Expert summary
The Turanza 6 is quite a new addition to Bridgestone’s lineup, being introduced in 2023. Featuring the new ENLITEN technology, it should be lighter and have positive effect on fuel efficiency. In the tests, the efficiency is confirmed alongside with higher mileage. That being said, it somehow lacks the performance of other premium tyres, so we would recommend it only when the price is lower.

Expert summary
A quiet, comfortable all-rounder at a competitive price. The Proxes Comfort delivers solid dry braking and balanced handling across conditions. It won't excel in aquaplaning or mileage, but it covers the basics well and keeps the cabin quiet.

The P Zero range is with us for a long time, also being a favorite choice for car manufacturers as first equipment. It’s a good, well balanced and enjoyable tyre. It tends to get quite a few mid-life updates so make sure you get the latest one.

Price from£126
Expert summary
The SP Sport MAXX RT2 has been in Dunlop's lineup for a long time, and it shows. Decent aquaplaning resistance and comfortable ride are probably its best qualities, and rolling resistance is reasonable too. But wet braking and wet handling have never been its strong suits, and the dry handling can be unpredictable. As the rest of the segment moved on, it's been struggling to keep up in the tests, which makes it hard to recommend at a premium price.
