TyreRanker summary

In its 2025 test, Tehnikamaailm compared 10 summer tyres in size 225/45 R17 (test car: Audi A3). Measured parameters from this test used by TyreRanker: 5.

In the tester's ranking, the best was the Michelin Primacy 5, followed by Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 and Continental PremiumContact 7. On measured results alone, the best tyre in this test was the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 (97 points) – the tester also assesses driving feel and other subjective qualities.

Braking in the wet: best Michelin Primacy 5 (33.0 m), weakest Vredestein Ultrac (36.5 m) – a difference of 3.5 m, or 11%. Braking in the dry: best Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 (34.2 m), weakest Nordman South (37.4 m) – a difference of 3.2 m, or 9%. Straight-line aquaplaning: best Michelin Primacy 5 (79.4 km/h), weakest Bridgestone Turanza 6 (75.3 km/h) – a difference of 4.1 km/h, or 5%.

The Michelin Primacy 5 won the most test categories (2: braking in the wet and straight-line aquaplaning). The Falken Ziex ZE320 finished last in the tester's ranking.

The Michelin Primacy 5 was No. 1 in the tester's ranking, but only No. 4 in this test by TyreRanker score. The tester rated its handling and balance highly, which the measured results do not fully reflect. In the combined ranking of all tests, the Primacy 5 is No. 19 out of 62 tyres – it was weaker in other tests than in this one.

The Bridgestone Turanza 6 was No. 4 in the tester's ranking, but only No. 7 in this test by TyreRanker score. In the measurements it was weaker in “straight-line aquaplaning”. The tester rated its handling and balance highly, which the measured results do not fully reflect. In the combined ranking of all tests, the Turanza 6 is No. 23 out of 62 tyres.

The Nokian Tyres Hakka Black 3 was No. 5 in the tester's ranking, but No. 3 in this test by TyreRanker score. The tester's overall rating also gives substantial weight to subjective assessments (driving feel, noise, comfort) that the measured results do not show. In the combined ranking of all tests, the Hakka Black 3 is No. 26 out of 62 tyres.
