Expert summary
Continental did it again with the PremiumContact 7. It’s an incredibly well balanced tire with just the right wet and dry grip and above average mileage. Since it’s launch in 2023 it got nothing but the best results in the tests, the only downside being it’s premium price.

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!

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.

Price from£222
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.

6.1
Price from£193
Expert summary
The evo Z K129 is a focused sports tyre from Hankook, but with only 15 dimensions on offer it's clearly not built for everyone — more of a niche product aimed at specific performance fitments. On wet roads it genuinely delivers, with short braking distances and strong aquaplaning resistance. The sporty, agile steering feel is there too. The real problem is the rear axle — it tends to step out under load in both wet and dry conditions, which is not something you want from a premium sports tyre. Mid-field test results across the board don't help its case either.

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.

Did you know ...?

255/55 R20 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for summer 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 - 55 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 55% of the tyre width (255mm), which means the sidewall height has 140.25 mm. The wheel diameter is R20, which means it fits to a 20 inch/508mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 2477.15 mm, which is very similar to 275/65 R17(2479.66 mm), 285/45 R21(2481.54 mm), 285/40 R22(2471.81 mm), 275/70 R16(2486.26 mm), 315/40 R21(2467.41 mm), 275/55 R19(2466.46 mm), 285/50 R20(2491.28 mm). There are multiple speed indexes available for summer tyres in 255/55 R20: H(210km/h), Q(160km/h), V(240km/h), W(270km/h), Y(300km/h). The same goes for weight indexes: 107, 110.

There are 1 runflat variants available.
