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.

Expert summary

The Azenis RS820 is a fresh addition from Falken, launched in 2024, and there's only one test to go on so far. That test paints a decent picture — short dry braking, stable cornering and a progressive, predictable handling balance. Rolling noise is a bit high and aquaplaning isn't its strongest suit. Too early to draw firm conclusions, but it's a promising start for a new tyre in a competitive segment.

Expert summary

The evo Z K129 is a focused sports tyre from Hankook, but with only 15 dimensions on offer it's clearly not built for everyone — more of a niche product aimed at specific performance fitments. On wet roads it genuinely delivers, with short braking distances and strong aquaplaning resistance. The sporty, agile steering feel is there too. The real problem is the rear axle — it tends to step out under load in both wet and dry conditions, which is not something you want from a premium sports tyre. Mid-field test results across the board don't help its case either.

Expert summary

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.
