American edition Consumer Reports named four Michelin models as the best all-season and winter tires on the American market. The testing results will be published in November release of the edition. Each of the four models received mark “excellent” and became the winner in comparative testing that included 69 models – it was one of the most large-scale testings of all-season and winter tires held by Consumer Reports.
Michelin HydroEdge became the best all-season model in “S” and “T” speed rating categories, Michelin Primacy MXV4 and Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S showed the best performance in “H” and “V” speed rating categories correspondingly. Michelin X-Ice XI2 became the winner in the category of winter tires.
Consumer Reports engineers conducted testing taking into consideration many criteria – braking on dry and wet surface, steering control, hydroplaning resistance, traction on snow-covered surface, braking on ice, comfort, noise level, rolling resistance and durability. Although the Michelin models became the winners according to the results of the testing they weren’t the best at each of the testing criteria. Hydroedge tire, for example, received satisfactory mark for its traction performance on ice. Besides this Michelin tires appeared to be the most expensive among the tires that were tested.
Other tires that demonstrated good results were Hankook Optimo H727, Nokian WR G2, Dunlop Signature which were presented in the category of all-season tires with “H” and ”V” speed rating letters. Among winter tires the second result after Michelin X-Ice XI2 belonged to General Altimax Arctic.
Consumer Reports conducts testing of the tires according to objective and subjective criteria, measures braking distances, cornering stability on dry and wet surface, steering control when emergency maneuvering and hydroplaning resistance. To ensure the equivalence of the testing all the tires are tested in equal sizes and on the same vehicle.
