Expert summary

This is currently the best rated tyre we have and there is a reason for it - it combines sportiness on snow and dry and very good safety margins on the wet. It’s designed to maintain the joy of driving, even on winter tyres, but still manages to be safe at all times. 100% recommended.

Expert summary

Blizzak has always been a winter tire focused on wet conditions, but with its sixth model, Bridgestone has promised improved snow performance and reduced rolling resistance. Early tests suggest they have delivered on these promises—Blizzak 6 is unmatched in wet conditions and excels on snow, making it ideal not just for city climates.

Expert summary

Continental winter tires have been winning tire tests for many years, and the 870P is no exception. The “P” stands for performance, but don’t be mistaken, its rolling resistance is also praised, making it ideal for EVs. A well-balanced tire.

Expert summary

We really like the new Speed-Grip 5 - it's not expensive, it's very good on snow and on top of that, it's got very low rolling resistance. What it lacks compared to the premium tyres is better wet performance, but given it's price it's definitely recommendable.

Top brands in 235/45 R20

Did you know ...?

235/45 R20 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for winter tyres - there are 5 tyre models available, which can be compared to 155/60 R15, 170/60 R17, 160/60 R14. Let's break down the sizing - 45 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 45% of the tyre width (235mm), which means the sidewall height has 105.75 mm. The wheel diameter is R20, which means it fits to a 20 inch/508mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 2260.38 mm, which is very similar to 265/40 R20(2261.95 mm), 265/35 R21(2258.49 mm), 265/30 R22(2255.04 mm), 225/70 R16(2266.34 mm), 235/50 R19(2254.41 mm), 195/55 R20(2269.8 mm), 235/55 R18(2248.44 mm). There are multiple speed indexes available for winter tyres in 235/45 R20: H(210km/h), T(190km/h), V(240km/h), W(270km/h). The same goes for weight indexes: 96, 100.
