Nightmare

Terrible tires. Bought due to budget restrictions. Disposable. There is no balancing. Enough for one winter. Two wheels eight. On one hernia. From one wire got out sticks out. I drive calmly.

FAQ


What are the advantages of VIANOR?

VIANOR is a network of premium tire centers founded in the early 1990s by Nokian Tires and specializing in tire sales and car maintenance. Throughout its development, the wide range of tires, the high level of comfort for customers and excellent service have remained unchanged advantages of the network. Each VIANOR tire center meets the requirements of the premium class and guarantees the high quality of service work using only high-quality materials.


What factors should be considered when choosing tires?

The main factors that you should focus on when choosing car tires are the climatic features of your region and the features of the road surface on which the car will be operated. When comparing manufacturers' offers, it is also important to take into account not only the price of the models, but also the additional benefits from the purchase. Some manufacturers offer additional promotions - free tire fitting or a guarantee against accidental damage. Regardless of your needs and budget, you can always buy the right tires at vianor.ru.


How to choose tires by size?

The tire size consists of the tire section width, sidewall height and rim diameter. For example, in size 205/55, R16:205 is the tire profile width in millimeters, 55 is the sidewall height as a percentage of the profile width (in this case, 55% of 205), R is an indication of the radial design, and 16 is the landing (internal ) tire diameter. The complete tire size also contains information about the maximum permissible load and the maximum speed of movement (load and speed indices). Selection of tires by size is available on the vianor.ru main page and in the tires section.


How to choose tires for a car?

Vehicle sizing is a convenient alternative to sizing and is especially useful in situations where you don't know the exact dimensions of the tires you need. As a result of this selection, you will receive a standard size (or several standard sizes) recommended by the manufacturer of your car. However, we recommend that you always double-check the most appropriate size in your vehicle's owner's manual. Selection of tires by car is available on the vianor.ru main page and in the tires section.


What services are available in the Vianor tire center network?

Vianor tire centers not only sell tires and rims, but also provide a wide range of car services. You can always check the availability of the necessary service and sign up online at a convenient tire center at vianor.ru.


9 best summer tires 2023: rating, reviews, expert advice

Any rubber is not eternal, even if you are a supporter of driving on complete tires to the state of "slicks". In the end, there are different situations on the road - piercing the sidewall of a tire is far from fantastic. And someone wants more from the car and he starts sorting out wheels and tire sizes. In general, a motorist will always have reasons to buy a set of new summer tires.

Refer to the owner's manual for the recommended tires for your vehicle. As a rule, at the end of the brochure - where technical specifications and recommended fluids are given. Or, alternatively, the dimensions of the dimensions of the tires approved for your car can be indicated on the B-pillar under the driver's door lock bracket, on the gas tank hatch, or even on the inside of the glove box lid (on some localized models).

As a rule, there are several allowed dimensions. However, if you are not going to change rims (officially - “wheels”, because what we used to call “wheels” is called “wheel assembly”), you should choose tires with exactly the same bore diameter.

Top 9 ranking by CP

1. Dunlop SP Sport Maxx

Dunlop's popular summer tire model. It is produced in a huge number of variations, so the price for one tire can be completely different. Tire diameter can be from 15 to 22 inches, width - from 195 to 325mm, and profile heights range from 60mm to low profile 30mm.

Older versions of this tire can provide a vehicle with a speed of up to 300 km/h (index Y). The advantages of the model include that it holds both wet and dry roads well. The tire itself is relatively strong and resists cuts and hernias to a reasonable extent. The downside of this strength is rigidity - the car on this rubber can become somewhat shaky, and the bumps in the road will be felt more strongly. Some drivers also complain about the acoustic accompaniment - with these tires in the cabin it can become noisier.

Pros and cons

Wide range of sizes, quite strong, excellent steering

Too stiff, noisy

2. Pirelli Cinturato P1 Verde

Summer tires from an Italian-Chinese tire manufacturer. Cinturato P1 Verde can be easily found in standard equipment of some cars. For example, they put it on the "stuffed" Lada Granta. The tire is available in several sizes. Diameter - from 13 to 20 inches, width - from 145 to 275 mm, profile - from 70 to 30 mm. The tire is not afraid of ruts and feels good even in a sharp turn. Pits Cinturato P1 Verde endures stoically, but do not overdo it - the tire sidewalls are relatively soft.

Because of this, you can easily get a hernia or a cut, after which the tire will go to a landfill. The tread pattern is designed in such a way that the rubber is not afraid of hydroplaning. But even on a muddy primer it’s better not to meddle on it - the car has every chance of getting stuck.

Pros and cons

Moderate cost, the car will turn more confidently, not afraid of aquaplaning

Delicate sidewalls, you can get stuck on it in the mud

3. Toyo Proxes CF2

The tire from the Japanese brand Toyo is by no means created for the "eaters" of kilometers of tracks. This is a balanced and inexpensive summer tire mainly for city driving. Available in diameters 13-20 inches, widths 165-245 mm and profile 40-80 mm. Rubber in motion is soft and quiet.

Tires provide good grip, but in tight corners (especially if the profile is higher) they can break. Someone thinks that the sidewalls of the Toyo Proxes CF2 are soft, but they definitely won’t suffer from contact with the curb.

Well, the tread gives out a purely road tire purpose - even on a dirty road after rain, the car can start to slip.

Pros and cons

Relatively inexpensive, quiet, good grip on dry pavement

On a profile from 55 mm, there may be cracking when entering a turn, you can skid even on a slightly wet muddy road

What other summer tires should you pay attention to

4. MICHELIN Pilot Sport 4S

An elite tire for elite cars - this is how the Pilot Sport 4 S can be characterized. The special position of the tire can be understood from the considerable price - one wheel costs more than a set (with a spare tire) of rubber for a small car. The sizes in which rubber is produced correspond to: diameter from 18 to 22 inches, width from 135 to 355 and low profile 25-45 mm. Moreover, for all tires, the speed index is indicated by Y (up to 300 km / h). Of course, on public roads, even on a powerful car, such speeds are incredible, but on a sports track, such a tire will come in handy. Needless to say, this rubber provides excellent grip and steering in corners.

The low profile imposes its limitations - even small potholes on the roads should be avoided, and the sidewall may not withstand contact with the curb. The flip side of excellent grip is also quick wear - rubber, as they say, can go away in a season.

And one more feature - in the off-season, when the air temperature drops below +10 degrees, the tires start to make excessive noise.

Pros and cons

Provides excellent handling (of course, if the car matches), clings to asphalt

Afraid of potholes, pits and parking - low profile, the price seems too high even against the background of classmates, increased tread wear It is presented on the market in several dimensions: diagonal - from 13 to 18 inches, width 145-245 mm, height - 40-70 mm. On the road, the Bluearth ES32 has proven itself to be a quiet tyre, with medium stiffness and durability. Low rolling resistance can also be recorded as an asset of the model, which means that the roll increases and fuel consumption decreases.

By the way, the tires of this series, which are sold in Russia, are produced at the plant in Lipetsk (which does not affect the final quality of the product). Some motorists complain about the soft sidewall, but the tire is relatively new on the market, and there are no real cases when the curb stone pierced the wheel.

You can complain about the tread pattern, in which small stones strive to fill up, after which the wheels begin to click on asphalt.

Pros and cons

Accessibility, quietness, low rolling resistance

The tread pattern literally collects small stones, perhaps the sidewalls are not strong enough. You can take a closer look at Belshina Artmotion. It is available in four diameters: 13-16 inches. The width of the profile can be from 175 to 215 mm, and the height - from 55 to 70 mm (low profile is not about Belshina). Despite the low price, the tires hold the road well and are not afraid of hydroplaning.

Users' opinions differ about acoustic comfort - some motorists find it noisy, while others complain about howling. Rubber by the standards of our time is “oak”, which not everyone will like.

Belshina's problem is its unstable quality. Someone is unlucky and he is faced with a bundle of rubber after 10 thousand km. Other car owners struggle with the imbalance by securing loads.

Pros and cons

Very cheap, damage in normal use is rare

May hum, unstable quality

7. Bridgestone Alenza 001

The considerable price for this model from Bridgestone is explained by two points. Firstly, although the tire is road, it is focused on SUVs. Secondly, in the Alenza 001 line, you can find models made using RunFlat technology, when you can drive up to 80 km on a flat tire. But you will have to pay extra for this option. The tire is produced in diameters from 16 to 22 inches, width can be from 215 to 315 mm, and height - 35-70 mm. The tire handles rutting and hydroplaning very well.

Car enthusiasts love this tire for its handling at high speeds. Wear resistance is also good. But you need to be prepared for noise, pushes into the cabin almost from the road markings and, no matter how strange it sounds, imbalance. Some buyers encounter it on new tires.

Of course, everything can be fixed with balancing weights, but is it necessary?

Pros & Cons

Crossover Special, Predictive Handling, RunFlat as option

Nervously reacts to the road profile, imbalance is possible

8. Nokian Tires Nordman SZ

A popular summer tire model from the Finnish Nokian has been produced for several years. Available in three sizes - 16-18 inches. The width of the profile can be 205-245 mm, and the height - 40-55 mm. Handling on dry and wet pavement is not bad, good rubber bites into the pavement and when braking.

Tires are relatively soft and quiet. In addition, despite their road nature, they feel good in light dirt (but without fanaticism). The tire seems to be strong, but there is a marriage in the form of tread peeling. There is another problem - after 100 km / h, the tires begin to buzz a lot.

Pros and cons

Well established in the market, handling, hard sidewalls

There are defects, hum at high speed

9. Kumho Ecsta PS71

Korean summer tire, produced with a speed index up to 300 km / h. Can be found in diameters from 16" to 20", widths 195-295mm and profile heights 30-60mm. The tire feels good at high speeds, and grip is good on both dry and wet roads.

The manufacturer managed to make rubber soft in motion, the sides of which are not afraid of contact with the curb. But it was not without drawbacks - motorists compare the noise from this rubber with winter Velcro. Someone complains about the resource - the tires wear out relatively quickly.

How to choose summer tires for a car

We figured out the models of summer tires worthy of attention. Now it's worth figuring out how to choose tires for a specific car and your driving style. This will help us Alexander Studkov , owner of a tire fitting station.

Dimensions

Refer to the owner's manual for the recommended tires for your vehicle. As a rule, at the end of the brochure - where technical specifications and recommended fluids are given. Or, alternatively, the dimensions of the dimensions of the tires approved for your car can be indicated on the B-pillar under the driver's door lock bracket, on the gas tank hatch, or even on the inside of the glove box lid (on some localized models).

As a rule, there are several allowed dimensions. However, if you are not going to change rims (officially - "wheels", because what we used to call "wheels" officially - "wheel assembly"), it is worth choosing tires with exactly the same bore diameter. Don't quite understand what I mean? Do you find it difficult to read the numbers "encrypted" in the dimension? In fact, everything is simple!

For example, in the specifications or on the tire mounted on the wheel of your car it says: 205/65/R16, where

  • 205 - tread width (the surface on which the tire is in contact with the road - it has a "pattern"), in millimeters,
  • 65 - tire profile height or, otherwise, the ratio of the tread height to its width; the higher the value, the higher the profile and the visually greater distance from the road to the metal surface of the wheel ("disk"). In usual millimeters, this will be: 205 × 0.65 \u003d 133.25 mm,
  • R16 - “radial” tire (in principle, most tires are now radial), and “16” is the landing diameter of the wheel (“disc” - metal or cast).

After you have decided on the dimension: whether it is the same size, or different, but with the same landing radius, or with a different one, but then you have to buy the appropriate wheels ("discs"), we proceed to the selection of the best summer tires for your car.

Tread

Summer tire tread pattern can be symmetrical non-directional, directional or asymmetric. The first option is considered the most versatile for the city and the highway. Versatility adds to them and the fact that the tires can be easily interchanged, this does not degrade their properties. With directional symmetry, wet contact is greatly improved. But you need to put them strictly in the direction of rotation. An asymmetric pattern can also be called universal - the characteristics of such a tire are highly dependent on what engineers have invested in it. For example, part of the picture may be responsible for working on dry pavement, and the other - on wet pavement. Install such tires carefully, based on the markings on the wheel.

Maximum speed

The speed at which you can drive on a particular summer tire depends on the speed index of a particular model. It is indicated by English letters from M (130 km / h) to Y (300 km / h). Tires with maximum performance have a high coefficient of grip with the road and a minimum braking distance. But, of course, such wheels will look logical on the new Mercedes, and not on the urban Solaris.

Ride and acoustic comfort

When choosing new summer tires, remember that good handling often comes with a harsh road response. And vice versa - soft tires that swallow pits and markings can break even in a simple turn at moderate speed. So choose a tire carefully, looking not only at tests on the Internet, but also at the reviews of real motorists.

How quiet your car's interior is depends not only on soundproofing, but also on tires. Summer ones, of course, are much quieter than winter ones, but there are also loud models. Sometimes the tire starts to click because of the projector, or rather, the features of its pattern, into which small stones can be packed.
