Expert summary

Our favorite every-day performance tyre that delivers fast laps on dry circuits while being safe for the daily commute, having won multiple tests in wet conditions. However, if you lean more towards comfort and low rolling resistance, the PremiumContact 7 might be a better choice.

Expert summary

Pilot Sport 4S is the sportier version of the Pilot Sports and the most sporty one that still cares about the wet performance, which is it's strong suite. It's usually expensive, but also a guarantee of a great performance tyre.

8.1

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.

Ventus Evo

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.

Top brands in 295/25 R21

Did you know ...?

295/25 R21 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for summer tyres - there are 4 tyre models available, which can be compared to 155/60 R15, 170/60 R17, 160/60 R14.

The total circumference of the tyre is 2139.11 mm, which is very similar to 215/70 R15(2142.57 mm), 285/35 R19(2142.88 mm), 225/50 R18(2143.19 mm), 245/35 R20(2134.71 mm), 195/70 R16(2134.4 mm), 225/55 R17(2134.08 mm), 285/30 R20(2133.14 mm).
