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.

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.

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.

Price from£231
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.

If rolling resistance is your priority, the Firehawk Sport is hard to beat — it topped the charts. Add short braking distances and low noise, and you get an efficiency-focused tyre that doesn't sacrifice safety basics. Wet handling and aquaplaning are the compromises.

Price from£203
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.

Did you know ...?

265/30 R20 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for summer tyres - there are 12 tyre models available, which can be compared to 165/60 R15, 185/55 R14, 170/60 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 R20, which means it fits to a 20 inch/508mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 2095.44 mm, which is very similar to 235/50 R17(2094.81 mm), 205/70 R15(2098.58 mm), 265/35 R19(2098.9 mm), 215/55 R17(2099.53 mm), 305/30 R19(2091.04 mm), 225/35 R20(2090.73 mm), 235/45 R18(2100.78 mm). There are multiple speed indexes available for summer tyres in 265/30 R20: Y(300km/h). The same goes for weight indexes: 94, 107.
