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.

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.

Did you know ...?
265/40 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 - 40 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 40% of the tyre width (265mm), which means the sidewall height has 106 mm. The wheel diameter is R20, which means it fits to a 20 inch/508mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 2261.95 mm, which is very similar to 235/45 R20(2260.38 mm), 265/35 R21(2258.49 mm), 225/70 R16(2266.34 mm), 265/30 R22(2255.04 mm), 235/50 R19(2254.41 mm), 195/55 R20(2269.8 mm), 225/65 R17(2275.46 mm). There are multiple speed indexes available for summer tyres in 265/40 R20: H(210km/h), V(240km/h), W(270km/h), Y(300km/h). The same goes for weight indexes: 104, 107.
