If you're looking for a guide to help you choose the best summer tyres for the upcoming season, you've come to the right place. In our comprehensive guide you'll find information based mainly on test results, but also on EU labels and user reviews. We'll look at the current tyre market from different angles - we'll cover the most recommended tyres in tests, break down the tyres tested into different segments and also dig into recently introduced tyres. Even so, this is still just a general overview of the market - if you know your tyre dimensions, you can create a more tailored overview for you, containing only the tyres available, by entering your tyre dimensions in the following section.
this table features the best tyres based solely on test ratings - the more test recommendations, the better the ranking in our table.

In this section we have collected the new tyres for this year - this can be useful as these tyres are yet to be tested, but are usually based on a previous model that has most likely been tested at least a few times. As these new tyres are being developed on the basis of the previous model, they will most likely be even better than their predecessor in some aspects and thus deserve your attention.
