Price from£218
Expert summary
The UltraContact NXT is Continental's newest summer model, launched in 2024 with no predecessor — and it's already won both tests it entered. Wet performance is the standout, with short braking distances and confident handling on wet asphalt. Dry is precise too, though the dry braking slightly trails its wet capabilities. Comfort and noise levels are high, which makes it very pleasant for everyday use. Only 23 sizes are available so far, so check if yours is covered before getting too excited.

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!

Price from£167
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.

Price from£255
Expert summary
The Pilot Sport range from Michelin is now almost legendary, with the Cup variants being the fastest road legal tyres available. But the ‚ordinary‘ Pilot Sport 5 not as spory as it’s name suggest - it’s incredibly well balanced, with the priority being low rolling resistance and high mileage over sporty handling. It’s still a Michelin tire, so higher price is to be expected.

Expert summary
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.

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.

Expert summary
100 out of 100 in rolling resistance, mileage, and EV suitability — the e.Primacy is in a class of its own when it comes to efficiency. It's also one of the quietest tyres you can buy. Just know that braking and wet cornering are average at best. A tyre for maximising range, not fun.

TYREREVIEWS'26#11AUTOBILD'25#8
3.3
Expert summary
Goodride is a Chinese budget brand and the Solmax 1 is their freshest entry into the European market. The test results don't paint a great picture — 8th at Autobild and 11th at Tyre Reviews, with wet braking and aquaplaning resistance as clear weak spots. It is notably quiet, which makes it a reasonable pick for EV drivers on a tight budget, but for a tyre introduced in 2025, falling short on wet safety is not where you want to be.

Did you know ...?

235/45 R20 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for summer tyres - there are 15 tyre models available, which can be compared to 195/70 R15, 195/45 R15, 205/50 R16. 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 summer tyres in 235/45 R20: H(210km/h), T(190km/h), V(240km/h), W(270km/h), Y(300km/h). The same goes for weight indexes: 96, 100.
