The Best Touring Tyres for 2025 Tested
1st of 7 tyres
  • Strong dry performance with the best dry braking distance, excellent dry handling characteristics and impressive wet performance with near class-leading scores in both curved aquaplaning and braking.
  • Slightly lower comfort levels on harsh impacts when compared to the best.
  • The new Cinturato C3 is an excellent upgrade to the P7 C2. This tyre had no real weaknesses, just a string of excellent performances across both wet and dry tests. While it might not have the absolute highest scores in comfort or refinement, the balance of performance puts it at the top of this test.
