Hankook sneaked in between the traditional premium tyres again with its Icept Evo3. It excels in aquaplaning resistance, which is crucial for european winters.

Expert summary
Blizzak has always been a winter tire focused on wet conditions, but with its sixth model, Bridgestone has promised improved snow performance and reduced rolling resistance. Early tests suggest they have delivered on these promises—Blizzak 6 is unmatched in wet conditions and excels on snow, making it ideal not just for city climates.

Did you know ...?

235/35 R20 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for winter tyres - there are 5 tyre models available, which can be compared to 155/60 R15, 170/60 R17, 160/60 R14. Let's break down the sizing - 35 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 35% of the tyre width (235mm), which means the sidewall height has 82.25 mm. The wheel diameter is R20, which means it fits to a 20 inch/508mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 2112.72 mm, which is very similar to 215/50 R18(2111.78 mm), 205/65 R16(2113.98 mm), 275/30 R20(2114.29 mm), 200/60 R17(2110.52 mm), 235/40 R19(2106.75 mm), 325/25 R20(2106.44 mm), 275/35 R19(2120.89 mm).
