Strong competition, Vredestein victory – Auto Express tests summer tyres

For its 2024 summer tyre test, Auto Express focused on the popular 225/45 R17 size, a dimension it hasn’t looked at for three years. This year’s test features eight tyres, including new models from Michelin, Goodyear, Continental, and Bridgestone. Reigning 225/45 R17 champion Hankook also returns, along with Falken, Pirelli and Vredestein. Auto Express put all eight brands through their paces at Goodyear’s proving ground in Montpellier, France.
