Which tires should I consider for sporty road driving in a Hyundai i20 N with 215/40 R18 tires, for summer and winter?

Automatically reviewed answer

Hello, for sporty road driving, I would favor separate summer and winter sets: good seasonal tires generally offer greater performance reserves in their respective conditions than all-season tires. Continental PremiumContact 7 is a sensible summer candidate: it won sport auto’s 2024 comparison in 215/40 R18, tested on a Hyundai i20 N on wet and dry asphalt. That supports considering it, subject to checking your car’s required specifications. Before ordering either set, check Hyundai’s documentation for the tire size, load index and speed rating; the dimensions alone are insufficient. Load and speed ratings need to be considered together. For the winter choice, please clarify whether you regularly encounter snow or mountain roads, and whether you want two seasonal sets or one all-season set. All-season tires can suit milder conditions, but involve a performance compromise.
