Despite the fact that there is still enough time before the end of winter, many are interested in the question of new products for the summer season of 2017. When choosing summer tires motorists pay the utmost attention to the safety of operation on wet and dry asphalt, a high level of comfort.
Nokian Hakka Blue 2
The Nokian brand is one of the popular brands. Finnish tires on conducted tire tests have demonstrated high performance more than once. Great attention the manufacturer pays for innovative technologies that are actively used in tire modeling.
Representative of the new generation Hakka Blue 2 from the Nokian brand is designed to ensure safety and endurance on the road surface from early spring to the first frost. When designing this tire, various technologies were used that made it possible to achieve the tasks set.
The asymmetrical pattern is a characteristic feature of the entire Hakka Blue family. It improves the comfort of the tire, making it more responsive to steering maneuvers.
According to the European marking for grip on wet road the tire belongs to class "A". Dry Touch 2 lamellas effectively remove water from the contact patch. The aquaplaning indicator on the tread looks like a drop. If it “disappears”, it indicates that the tread depth has become less than 4 mm.
Part rubber compound pine oil is included, it was this component that made it possible to reduce friction and temperature during driving, which had a positive effect on wear resistance and fuel consumption.
The heavy-duty tire construction gives the breaker the required rigidity while remaining lightweight. This allows for improved maneuverability even on high speeds... In addition, a more rigid structure is a protection against mechanical damage tires, which contributes to a longer service life.
Below are the standard sizes and approximate cost Hakka Blue 2 by Nokian: 
Nokian Nordman SX2
Another novelty from Nokian - Nordman SX2 This is the second generation tire that replaces the Nordman SX. The manufacturer offered a product capable of providing excellent grip and handling. The rugged tire construction is able to withstand strong mechanical stress without deformation. 
Among the innovations that were used to create this model are a special compound composition, venture grooves, Silent Groove Design (helps to reduce noise inside the cabin). There is also an information area on this model where you can record the pressure when changing a tire.
Below are the sizes and approximate cost of the Nordman SX 2 from Nokian: 
Bridgestone Dueler A / T 001
The flagship of the tire industry is rightfully considered the Japanese corporation Bridgestone, which has prepared a number of new products, two of them are designed for crossovers. One could get acquainted with one novelty at the Paris exhibition, which took place in the fall. Dueler A / T 001, this is the name given to the new tire, designed for off-road use. 
This is a novelty for the 2017 summer season for SUVs and crossovers. It has an aggressive tread pattern that provides confident off-road behavior. Despite the deep grooves and large blocks, the tire offers a number of comfort benefits.
High wear resistance is achieved by increasing the mobility of blocks, which are not so susceptible to abrasion, the Nanopuro Tech technology used in the rubber compound saves fuel. Compared to its predecessor, the Dueler A / T 694, the tire's wear resistance and economy have been improved. High performance tires are capable of providing effective braking and excellent traction.

According to Professor Burkhard Wies, Head of Business Development at Continental in EMEA, the main requirement for the new product is to ensure uncompromising safety. The tire is balanced enough to meet this requirement. It provides maximum comfort, demonstrates high mileage, low rolling resistance and at the same time dynamic.
Very effective on wet roads. Short braking distances provided by the composition of the compound, which includes finely dispersed synthetic silica (amorphous silicon dioxide) with a nanoporous particle structure. This component is used as a thickener and enhances the strength of the rubber. Therefore, it is not surprising that this tire is rated "A" for wet grip. 
Long shoulder blocks support each other for added traction. The complex structure of the blocks in the shoulder area allows you to carry heavy loads and extremely efficiently enter the side turn.
As with the new summer 2017 tires from Bridgestone, the Continental PremiumContact 6 will be a completely new rubber for our car enthusiast. The cost in standard sizes will be known a little later.
Spring has come, which means that it's time to change the tires on your car from winter to summer. Many motorists have faced the problem of choosing such a product, especially since tires greatly affect the safety of movement. Tires should be chosen according to certain rules. In our review, before considering the best summer tires of 2019, we present the main characteristics regarding this product. So let's get started!
A large number of tires are presented in stores today, so it is quite easy to make a mistake with the choice. The classic rubber is considered road - it is designed for public roads. The tread has well-defined longitudinal grooves, due to which moisture is quickly removed from the contact patch. While driving, they practically do not make noise. Unfortunately, they are not very suitable for off-road conditions - depending on the type of shock absorber, any irregularities will be strongly felt.
The next type of rubber is all-season - it is versatile because it can be used all year round. However, such products will retain their key characteristics at a temperature environment up to -7 degrees. In colder weather, the tire dulls and loses its elasticity, as a result of which handling deteriorates. For most regions of our country, it is not suitable for use in the winter months.
Sports rubber will fit for drivers who like high speed and also prefer an aggressive driving style. It is made from a special mixture of rubber, on high speed allows you to maneuver with ease, almost no noise. However, due to the fact that it is made of rather rigid materials, any, even a slight bump or pit, will be well felt. The contact with the road is as dense as possible, due to the not too embossed tread.
It is the tread that you should pay attention to when choosing summer tires - today one of the most popular is symmetrical directional, it is ideal for most motorists, but does not tolerate aggressive driving and too high speeds. The asymmetrical non-directional tread pattern allows moisture to be quickly wicked away from the contact patch, and has proven itself well during sharp maneuvers or on tight corners. There are two other types of tread - symmetrical directional and asymmetric directional. They are less common.
When compiling our review, we considered not only all the points above, but also took into account such points as value for money, reviews from users and professional drivers, and many other characteristics. We really hope that the information we have collected will allow you to choose the most suitable summer tires for your car.
Good models of summer tires in an inexpensive price segment
3. Triangle Group TR928
One of the softest products that can only be found on the Russian market. Even on the toughest shock absorbers, it easily swallows serious bumps and pits. Moves pretty smoothly, handling is great. On an asphalt surface, it behaves just perfect. The wear rate is low - this is noticeable from the wear control track: even after 4-5 thousand kilometers, it remains at the same level and does not wear out at all. There are different diameters, so these tires will fit any discs, the same can be said about the profile width. The tires are not designed for high speeds - when driving about 140-150 km / h, a deterioration in handling begins to be felt.
In addition, these products are not suitable for fairly heavy vehicles - this rubber is capable of supporting a vehicle weight of up to 900 kg per tire. While driving, it does not make any noise at all, emits a slight hum, but on a smooth surface it is completely inaudible. It showed itself well during braking, including emergency braking, the braking distance turns out to be insignificant.
Advantages:
- Low price;
- Almost no noise;
- Wears out poorly;
- Soft;
- Maintains controllability at medium speeds;
- The protector does not wear off for quite a long time.
Disadvantages:
- Not suitable for aggressive driving and off-road driving.
2. Yokohama Blu Earth AE01
These products save on fuel consumption - the rolling resistance coefficient is approximately 20% lower than the average. Products are made of elastic rubber, due to which the contact patch is very large - this provides good grip with a road surface even in the rain. Tires are considered very safe, besides, they are resistant to wear, almost do not make noise on the asphalt surface.
This summer rubber is made on the basis of an artificial rubber compound with the addition of natural orange oil and additional use of nanotechnology. Tire weight is 10% lower than average. The sidewalls are designed to provide superior aerodynamics. The products are able to travel quite a long distance - the manufacturer claims 100 thousand kilometers. According to user reviews, this indicator is greatly underestimated, rubber can last up to 200 thousand km.
Advantages:
- Provides excellent traction;
- Allows you to additionally save fuel;
- Good value for money.
Disadvantages:
- Off-road, it starts to make a lot of noise, although bumps are still not felt.
1. Nokian Nordman SX2
This product belongs to universal models, that is, it is perfect not only for traditional passenger cars but also for crossovers. Manufacturers managed to achieve this factor by increasing the speed index and increasing the maximum permissible load... Rubber is quite maneuverable, but use it on high speeds it is still dangerous, but this product copes perfectly with lateral loads during sharp turns or when it is necessary to perform a sharp maneuver. If the load turns out to be excessively high, then the side blocks of the autonomous type are connected, since they are separated by transverse slots. This protects the tires from lateral breakdowns.
It is poorly suited for unpaved roads or off-road, especially after rain - you can easily get stuck on it. The tread pattern is asymmetric, due to which it was possible to significantly improve the performance of products during braking and during dynamic driving. The noise level is average, but these wheels cannot be said to hum too much. The tires are manufactured with Silent Groove Design technology, resulting in significantly below average noise levels. These tires are produced on the basis of natural rubber, which greatly increases the elasticity of the tires.
Advantages:
- Good softness;
- High level of strength;
- Wear resistance;
- Acceptable price;
- Excellent road holding.
Disadvantages:
- It happens that products differ in weight, which leads to a decrease in controllability indicators.

In conclusion, an interesting video
This concludes our roundup of the best summer tires of the year. We hope that it was very useful for you and helped you choose the most suitable product. If some questions remain unclear or there are certain difficulties in terms of the selection of rubber, then welcome to the comments to our article.
Summer tires are made from a much softer rubber compound than Winter tires which provides better grip and superior handling on dry and wet roads in warmer conditions.
Summer tires also have a much simpler tread pattern with fewer grooves. This tread pattern optimizes road contact during the dry summer months, giving the vehicle much better traction and stopping power.
What benefits should the best summer tires of 2018 give us? It's simple, we expect 4 main characteristics from the best summer tires, according to which they should surpass their competitors:
- Better roll-off and reduced fuel consumption as a result... Since the joints in summer tires have less elasticity, the rolling resistance of the tire is reduced on dry roads. As a result, drivers can benefit from better roll forward.
- Improved driver comfort and noise reduction... Summer tires are softer than their winter counterparts, which means they are better at absorbing vibration from uneven road surfaces and are generally quieter.
- Improved handling... Soft tires provide better grip on dry surfaces. And the best summer tires of 2018 should provide unrivaled handling and steering stability.
- Wear resistance... One of the most important parameters for saving on rubber. Of course, good tire just has to be durable.
We analyzed the test results of new tires 2017/2018 model year, and then read the few (after all, the tires are new) reviews from the owners of such tires. This gave us a big picture.

Any car owner is interested in the question of how to choose summer tires that will help avoid problems on the road. As a rule, car owners buy tires famous brands, trustworthy in the price-quality ratio.
To help drivers, compiled different ratings, which are designed to help in the purchase of summer tires. In our article, we will consider the features of choosing summer tires and offer our readers a rating of 2017 summer tires. Let's hope that the article will be useful to those who are going to buy summer tires.
How to choose the right summer tires?
When choosing summer tires, it is necessary to focus not only on the popularity of the tire manufacturer and their cost, but also to know some important criteria. Before buying summer tires, you should consider the following points:
1. Design features of tires
Summer tires are made from tough materials that can withstand high temperatures, as well as high modes speed. Thus, in the event of frost, summer tires become "oak", which means that the adhesion of the wheels to the road surface deteriorates. In addition, the tread depth of summer tires is shallower and the pattern is different from that of winter tires.
When choosing summer tires, pay attention to the climatic features of your region of residence. If there is a small temperature difference in the region throughout the year, then it is better to give preference not to summer, but to all-season rubber. All-season tires withstand both heat and frost perfectly.
2. Tire size
Before you buy summer tires, it will not be superfluous to familiarize yourself with some important design features wheels of the car. The first thing to do is to correctly determine the size of the tires (the geometric parameters of the wheel - the landing diameter, height and width of the tire). The necessary information is contained in the technical documentation or on the automaker's website.
In addition, the car owner, in addition to seasonal affiliation, should take into account the maximum tire speed, maximum load, as well as the country of manufacture of the rubber. In summer, it is better to choose wide tires, which improve the dynamic performance and contact of the car with the road.
3. Tread pattern
Tires can also be classified by their tread pattern:
- tires with directional V-pattern - increase the level of vehicle handling, make driving comfortable. The main task is to quickly remove water from under the wheels. Such summer tires are suitable for regions where precipitation is frequent;
- tires with a symmetrical (non-directional) pattern are the most popular among motorists due to their low price. Such rubber has good characteristics handling with a decent level of comfort. The tires are suitable for drivers who prefer a quiet ride;
- tires with an asymmetric pattern are analogous to all season tires... The wheels can perfectly adapt to different road and weather conditions. Due to the peculiarities of the structure of the tire, the adhesion of the wheels to the road increases and the directional stability of the car improves. This rubber has excellent running characteristics.
4. Noisy wheels
When choosing summer tires, the question of the noise level of the tires may arise. The fact is that when driving, the noise level can for the most part be determined by the tread pattern. It is impossible to determine the noise level of a tire on your own due to the complex structure of the rubber, so it is better to check this parameter with a sales assistant.
