Summer tires in the test: safety risks discovered – drivers should pay attention to this. ADAC advises vehicle owners to switch to summer tires as soon as temperatures are positive in the double digits for a longer period of time.
Summer tires must be adapted to summer temperatures and divert water to the side when the road is wet, thus reducing the risk of aquaplaning. A joint team from ACE, ARBÖ and GTÜ recently tested ten summer tires for compact cars in size 225/45 R17.
