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.

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.

Ventus Prime 4 Is our favorite every day tyre, as it offers premium safety at an affordable price. Short braking distances, good handling, but slightly worse at aquaplaning and comfort.

Firestone, the affordable brand belonging to the Bridgestone group, has a fresh addition to their lineup - the Roadhawk 2. And it seems like it’s set off for success - it offers the Bridgestone’s ENLITEN technology, which makes the rolling resistance and mileage exceptional for a budget tyre and it combines it with safe behavior on wet and dry.

255/60 R18 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for summer tyres - there are 42 tyre models available, which can be compared to 205/50 R16, 225/65 R17, 205/65 R16. Let's break down the sizing - 60 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 60% of the tyre width (255mm), which means the sidewall height has 153 mm. The wheel diameter is R18, which means it fits to a 18 inch/457.2mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 2397.66 mm, which is very similar to 255/55 R19(2397.35 mm), 255/65 R17(2397.98 mm), 255/50 R20(2397.04 mm), 255/70 R16(2398.29 mm), 235/65 R18(2396.09 mm), 285/45 R20(2401.75 mm), 235/55 R20(2408.03 mm).
