Expert summary
We really like the new Potenza Sport, as it’s more sporty and dynamic than the usual tyre in this category, but still perfectly usable and safe for everyday driving, which makes it unique. It’s rolling resistance, mileage and overall comfort are also on a good level, except for a slighty higher noise.

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
Hankook tyres are getting better with every new generation and the Ventus Evo is the latest evolution. It aims for the stars with excellent dry and wet handling, best-in-test wet braking and top aquaplaning speed, while producing very low exterior noise. The only notable weakness is higher rolling resistance. Still, it is a premium tyre for slightly less than a premium price.

Expert summary
The Asymmetric 6 is the latest addition in the Eagle F1 range, offering great compromise between every day comfort and sporty driving. While it has dynamic steering response, it’s also very good on wet and has a low rolling resistance. Definitely recommended!

Price from£273
Expert summary
A dry-road specialist with track-day ambitions. The Supersport delivers incredible dry grip and handling precision, but it pays for that with weak wet performance, high noise, and the worst rolling resistance in test. A tyre for sunny weekends, not rainy commutes.

Expert summary
The P Zero range is with us for a long time, also being a favorite choice for car manufacturers as first equipment. It’s a good, well balanced and enjoyable tyre. It tends to get quite a few mid-life updates so make sure you get the latest one.

Did you know ...?

255/40 R22 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for summer tyres - there are 3 tyre models available, which can be compared to 155/60 R15, 170/60 R17, 160/60 R14. Let's break down the sizing - 40 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 40% of the tyre width (255mm), which means the sidewall height has 102 mm. The wheel diameter is R22, which means it fits to a 22 inch/558.8mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 2396.41 mm, which is very similar to 235/65 R18(2396.09 mm), 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).
