How to choose R17 summer tires for a car?

When choosing summer tires, it is worth considering the following factors:

• width - wide tires give more contact with the surface, which guarantees better stability and braking, but narrow models behave better in asphalt ruts, so when choosing a model for the track, you should give preference to wider options;
• tread - symmetrical is the most affordable, but has a high noise level and low quality adhesion compared to others. The directional pattern wicks away water better and reduces the risk of hydroplaning. Asymmetric options are the quietest and most efficient, but their cost is somewhat higher;
• load and speed indices - must necessarily be higher than the parameters of the car, although this somewhat reduces comfort and increases fuel consumption. Buying "back-to-back" models can, in turn, have a bad effect on handling and durability during regular trips and transporting heavy loads.

TOP 5 best R17 summer tires by price/quality for 2024-2025

Bridgestone Turanza T001 215/55 R17 94V

But in the case of a wet road surface, difficulties arise, since in rain or fog there is a risk of provoking a serious skid.

At the same time, the material of manufacture has increased strength and wear resistance..

Another plus is the low rolling resistance. However, at high speeds it can make a serious noise that will disturb the driver and passengers.

Specifications:

• Speed ​​index: V (up to 240 km/h);
• Load index: 670 kg;
• Tread pattern: directional asymmetric;
