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.

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.

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.

Expert summary

If you care about the range of your electric vehicle, there are now non-premium options that are more than good enough for daily driving. The Falken e.Ziex delivers top-tier rolling resistance and some of the shortest braking distances in test, both wet and dry. It rides comfortably and stays quiet, though aquaplaning safety in corners and overall wet grip leave room for improvement.

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.

Top brands in 225/55 R19

Did you know ...?

225/55 R19 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for summer tyres - there are 12 tyre models available, which can be compared to 165/60 R15, 185/55 R14, 170/60 R17. Let's break down the sizing - 55 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 55% of the tyre width (225mm), which means the sidewall height has 123.75 mm. The wheel diameter is R19, which means it fits to a 19 inch/482.6mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 2293.68 mm, which is very similar to 275/45 R19(2293.68 mm), 245/40 R21(2291.48 mm), 215/75 R16(2289.91 mm), 245/45 R20(2288.65 mm), 315/35 R20(2288.65 mm), 325/30 R21(2288.34 mm), 275/40 R20(2287.08 mm). There are multiple speed indexes available for summer tyres in 225/55 R19: H(210km/h), V(240km/h), W(270km/h), Y(300km/h). The same goes for weight indexes: 97, 99, 103.
