Comparison: Petlas Imperium PT515 vs. Kleber Dynaxer HP4 vs. Kumho Ecsta HS52 vs. GoodYear Efficientgrip Performance 2

Made for a comparison of two summer tyres, the Petlas Imperium PT515 and the Kleber Dynaxer HP4. Each tyre provides unique benefits and is manufactured by reputable companies, Petlas and Kleber respectively.

The Petlas Imperium PT515, made in Turkey, has a decent rating of 48%. According to the Autobild and ADAC tests, this tyre ranks quite low, taking the 35th and 30th positions respectively. The test summaries from Autobild 2024 indicate a high lifespan and minimal wear, giving credit to its durability. However, it revealed evident weaknesses on wet and dry terrain, along with being comparatively heavier and showing significant sustainability issues. Therefore, the performance balance of the PT515 seems lacking, as it struggles to hold grip under various conditions.

On the other hand, the Kleber Dynaxer HP4 displays a significantly better performance with a rating of 76%. It held the 14th position in both Autobild and ADAC tests, showing a strong performance consistency. Major strengths included comfort, exterior noise control, and good environmental balance. Additionally, it demonstrated good mileage, wear and efficiency, as noted in the Autobild 2024 test summaries. It did, however, reveal a weakness in grip on wet surfaces and showed a delayed steering response according to the Autobild 2022 tests.

In conclusion, the Kleber Dynaxer HP4 outperforms the Petlas Imperium PT515 in various tests and overall performance. It ensures not only good mileage and wear but also provides a better and more balanced driving experience. The PT515, however, could be improved upon especially in its performance on wet and dry terrain and its overall weight. Neither model has been replaced by a newer tyre model.

When making your decision between these two tyres, consider these strengths and weaknesses according to your driving needs and preferences.
