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.

Expert summary

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. Comfort and mileage are also strong points, making it a well-rounded EV tyre with very few compromises.

Expert summary

While the Michelin PS4 SUV was introduced back in 2019, it still offers a top-notch performance for the SUVs which is difficult for it's competitors to match.

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

The Kumho Ecsta PS71 has been around for a while and keeps showing up well in tests. Strong aquaplaning resistance, short braking distances, and balanced handling across conditions make it a dependable choice. Comfort and noise are where it compromises.

Did you know ...?

245/50 R20 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for summer tyres - there are 8 tyre models available, which can be compared to 160/70 R17, 205/40 R17, 195/40 R17. Let's break down the sizing - 50 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 50% of the tyre width (245mm), which means the sidewall height has 122.5 mm. The wheel diameter is R20, which means it fits to a 20 inch/508mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 2365.62 mm, which is very similar to 275/40 R21(2366.88 mm), 265/70 R15(2362.48 mm), 245/60 R18(2359.96 mm), 275/45 R20(2373.47 mm), 245/65 R17(2357.14 mm), 245/70 R16(2354.31 mm), 315/30 R22(2349.28 mm). There are multiple speed indexes available for summer tyres in 245/50 R20: H(210km/h), V(240km/h), W(270km/h), Y(300km/h). The same goes for weight indexes: 102, 105.
