Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6
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!

Bridgestone Turanza 6
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.

Pirelli P Zero PZ4
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 ...?
295/40 R21 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for summer tyres - there are 7 tyre models available, which can be compared to 155/60 R15, 160/60 R18, 165/60 R14. Let's break down the sizing - 40 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 40% of the tyre width (295mm), which means the sidewall height has 118 mm. The wheel diameter is R21, which means it fits to a 21 inch/533.4mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 2417.14 mm, which is very similar to 215/85 R16(2425 mm), 265/45 R21(2425 mm), 235/55 R20(2408.03 mm), 265/50 R20(2428.45 mm), 295/45 R20(2430.02 mm), 245/75 R16(2431.28 mm), 265/55 R19(2431.91 mm).
