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.

Expert summary

EuroWinter HS02 is very good and quite sporty on dry and wet, but lacks some performance on the snow which is the reason for the not so good test results. Weaknesses in aquaplaning and rolling resistance doesn't help either.

Expert summary

We really like the new Speed-Grip 5 - it's not expensive, it's very good on snow and on top of that, it's got very low rolling resistance. What it lacks compared to the premium tyres is better wet performance, but given it's price it's definitely recommendable.

Top brands in 245/50 R19

Did you know ...?

245/50 R19 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for winter tyres - there are 8 tyre models available, which can be compared to 160/70 R17, 205/40 R17, 195/40 R17. Let's break down the sizing - 50 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 50% of the tyre width (245mm), which means the sidewall height has 122.5 mm. The wheel diameter is R19, which means it fits to a 19 inch/482.6mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 2285.82 mm, which is very similar to 225/60 R18(2284.57 mm), 275/40 R20(2287.08 mm), 325/30 R21(2288.34 mm), 315/35 R20(2288.65 mm), 245/45 R20(2288.65 mm), 215/75 R16(2289.91 mm), 275/35 R21(2280.48 mm). There are multiple speed indexes available for winter tyres in 245/50 R19: H(210km/h), R(170km/h), T(190km/h), V(240km/h), W(270km/h). The same goes for weight indexes: 101, 105, 110.
