Expert summary

Hankook designed the ION Evo specifically for electric vehicles and it shows. It combines low rolling resistance with good aquaplaning safety, short braking distances and excellent handling dynamics. Comfort and mileage are also strong points, making it a well-rounded EV tyre with very few compromises.

Expert summary

While the Michelin PS4 SUV was introduced back in 2019, it still offers a top-notch performance for the SUVs which is difficult for it's competitors to match.

Expert summary

The previous model was already a good, economy-focused model and the Primacy 5 is expected to take it even further with 18% better mileage. But Michelin said also the wet performance is improved, which is something we are looking forward to see in the tests.

Expert summary

The Turanza 6 is quite a new addition to Bridgestone’s lineup, being introduced in 2023. Featuring the new ENLITEN technology, it should be lighter and have positive effect on fuel efficiency. In the tests, the efficiency is confirmed alongside with higher mileage. That being said, it somehow lacks the performance of other premium tyres, so we would recommend it only when the price is lower.

Expert summary

If you care about the range of your electric vehicle, there are now non-premium options that are more than good enough for daily driving. The Falken e.Ziex delivers top-tier rolling resistance and some of the shortest braking distances in test, both wet and dry. It rides comfortably and stays quiet, though aquaplaning safety in corners and overall wet grip leave room for improvement.

Expert summary

A budget tyre with real wet grip — that's rare. The Maxxis Victra Sport 5 handles wet roads confidently, brakes well, and stays quiet. The delayed steering response takes getting used to, but at this price point, the overall safety package is hard to argue with.

Top brands in 235/65 R18

Did you know ...?

235/65 R18 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for summer tyres - there are 15 tyre models available, which can be compared to 195/70 R15, 195/45 R15, 205/50 R16. Let's break down the sizing - 65 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 65% of the tyre width (235mm), which means the sidewall height has 152.75 mm. The wheel diameter is R18, which means it fits to a 18 inch/457.2mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 2396.09 mm, which is very similar to 255/50 R20(2397.04 mm), 255/55 R19(2397.35 mm), 255/60 R18(2397.66 mm), 255/65 R17(2397.98 mm), 255/70 R16(2398.29 mm), 285/45 R20(2401.75 mm), 235/55 R20(2408.03 mm). There are multiple speed indexes available for summer tyres in 235/65 R18: H(210km/h), T(190km/h), V(240km/h), W(270km/h). The same goes for weight indexes: 106, 110.
