Comparison: Nokian WetProof vs. Debica Presto HP2 vs. Kumho Ecsta HS52

Here's a comprehensive comparison of two prominent tyres – the Nokian WetProof, manufactured in Finland, with our rating of 68%, and the Debica Presto HP2, with a slightly better rating of 70%. Based on various tests, we will examine both the strengths and weaknesses of each model and determine which one is better overall.

Let's start with the Nokian WetProof model. In the ADAC test, it took 6th position out of 18 tyres, and also ranked 6th in the Autobild test with 53 tyres in total. The tyre performance is generally balanced and performs well on both dry and wet road. The tyre efficiency is also commendable. However, it has a few weaknesses such as the limited tread life and wear, slight sustainability issues, and poor environmental performance. Regardless, Nokian WetProof shines when it comes to safety and balance on different road conditions.

On the flipside, we have the Debica Presto HP2, which ranked 7th out of 18 in the ADAC test and 16th out of 53 in the Autobild test. The strengths of this tyre lie in its positive environmental impact, good tread life and wear, and its efficiency. The tyre however, isn’t as balanced, and it has some drawbacks in safety, resulting in a lower test score. However, this tyre excels in terms of its value for money, which was highlighted in the Autobild test as its best feature.

Both Nokian WetProof and Debica Presto HP2 are summer models and neither had been replaced by a newer model at the time of testing. Nokian Tyres can be explored here, and Debica tyres here.

In summary, based on test results, Nokian WetProof performs better overall, despite its lower rating percentage. It offers balanced performance on both dry and wet roads. However, if you are budget-oriented and also concerned about environmental performance, Debica Presto HP2 would be a better choice for you. Each tyre meets different needs, so your final choice greatly depends on your personal preferences and driving conditions.
