This year I would like to buy new summer tyres 225/45 R17. In addition to the classic virtues of a tire, after the experience with the series tire Bridgestone Potenza RE050A, the main focus is the noise development. My tyre dealer advised me now to give up the order for cost reasons already in February. A little too early for the usual test runs of ADAC / Stiftung Warentest and the various car magazines. the Nokian zLine. Otherwise there would be a recommendation from the previous year, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2. Other tyres called “new” such as the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 or the Michelin Primacy 3 were already available in 2012 – here would be the question of a possible model maintenance. Does anyone know if a manufacturer is still launching a really new model this year?
