Expert summary

Our favorite every-day performance tyre that delivers fast laps on dry circuits while being safe for the daily commute, having won multiple tests in wet conditions. However, if you lean more towards comfort and low rolling resistance, the PremiumContact 7 might be a better choice.

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.

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

A dry-road specialist with track-day ambitions. The Supersport delivers incredible dry grip and handling precision, but it pays for that with weak wet performance, high noise, and the worst rolling resistance in test. A tyre for sunny weekends, not rainy commutes.

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.

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 265/30 R19

Did you know ...?

265/30 R19 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for summer tyres - there are 16 tyre models available, which can be compared to 195/50 R15, 165/65 R14, 190/55 R17. Let's break down the sizing - 30 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 30% of the tyre width (265mm), which means the sidewall height has 79.5 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 2015.65 mm, which is very similar to 190/55 R17(2013.13 mm), 265/35 R18(2019.1 mm), 180/65 R16(2011.88 mm), 195/60 R16(2011.88 mm), 215/55 R16(2019.73 mm), 225/35 R19(2010.93 mm), 235/45 R17(2020.99 mm). There are multiple speed indexes available for summer tyres in 265/30 R19: W(270km/h), Y(300km/h). The same goes for weight indexes: 89, 93.
