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 designed the ION Evo specifically for electric vehicles and it shows. It combines low rolling resistance with good aquaplaning safety, short braking distances and excellent handling dynamics. Comfort and mileage are also strong points, making it a well-rounded EV tyre with very few compromises.

Expert summary

A driver's tyre through and through. The P Zero PZ5 took first place in dry handling and posted the best aquaplaning speed in test — sporty, but with real safety margins. Wet handling is the weak spot, so this one's for those who value dry grip and aquaplaning resistance above all.

The Asymmetric 6 is the latest addition in the Eagle F1 range, offering great compromise between every day comfort and sporty driving. While it has dynamic steering response, it’s also very good on wet and has a low rolling resistance. Definitely recommended!

Expert summary

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.
