ADAC Summer tyre test 2023 205/55 R16
good
Ranked #23 of 50
Finishing in the 23rd spot among 50 competitors, the Esa+Tecar Spirit Pro tyre earned a final rating of 'Good', distinguishing itself with noteworthy characteristics in specific areas. Testers found the tyre to excel on wet roads, demonstrating good grip and handling by effectively combining longitudinal and lateral forces, which contributes to its reliable and precise performance in wet conditions. On top of its admirable wet road capabilities, the tyre was praised for its ecological footprint. It boasts a good projected mileage and minimal tread wear, which, coupled with its efficiency, secured it a favorable environmental impact assessment. However, it wasn't without its drawbacks; the tyre showed a lack of balance, chiefly due to significant shortcomings on dry roads. These include insufficient steering feedback, which necessitates frequent corrections during corner maneuvers, and a tendency to oversteer during evasive actions, making it somewhat challenging to control. Despite these dry road performance issues, it still managed to secure a satisfactory rating in terms of driving safety, thanks to its adequate braking performance on dry surfaces.

ADAC Summer tyre test 2021 225/50 R17
satisfactory
Ranked #7 of 17
Finishing 7th out of 17 competitors, the Esa+Tecar Spirit Pro tire showed a mixed performance. The tire excelled notably in mileage, showcasing less wear over time compared to its rivals, a highlight that set it apart in the competition. It performed well in wet conditions, offering short braking distances and good handling on wet curves, ensuring a reliable and safe driving experience during rainy weather. However, its performance on dry roads left room for improvement. Drivers experienced less precise steering and responsiveness, particularly at higher tire temperatures, and a notable lack of rear grip during lane changes were apparent drawbacks. Despite these issues on dry surfaces leading to a downgrade in its overall assessment, the Esa+Tecar Spirit Pro received a final rating of 'Satisfactory'. Its average fuel consumption and unremarkable noise levels did not significantly impact its standing, allowing its strengths in wear resistance and wet condition performance to shine through.
