ADAC Summer tyre test 2023 205/55 R16
good
Ranked #30 of 50
Finishing 30th out of 50 competitors, the Petlas Imperium PT515 was rated as delivering an overall performance that situates it in the middle tier of its class. Despite commendations for its high mileage and low wear, the tyre faced criticism for its imbalance and distinct weaknesses on both wet and dry surfaces, which led to a downgrade in its assessment. Furthermore, its comparative heft and significant shortcomings concerning sustainability were highlighted as detractions. Additionally, the tyre's driving safety was deemed just satisfactory due to its dry performance, with only adequate feedback through the steering wheel and a tendency to oversteer during evasive maneuvers, making it challenging to control. Its braking distance, while average across the field, was assessed as good, barely achieving a satisfactory rating in dry conditions. The wet performance also did not impress, earning a satisfactory judgment at best, with its braking performance deemed only adequate. Environmental impact evaluations noted the tyre's predicted longevity and wear as positives, but its efficiency was marked down due to the increased weight, and its sustainability was rated as barely adequate, notably due to production practices.
