Expert summary

Firestone, the affordable brand belonging to the Bridgestone group, has a fresh addition to their lineup - the Roadhawk 2. And it seems like it’s set off for success - it offers the Bridgestone’s ENLITEN technology, which makes the rolling resistance and mileage exceptional for a budget tyre and it combines it with safe behavior on wet and dry.

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.

Expert summary

The previous model was already a good, economy-focused model and the Primacy 5 is expected to take it even further with 18% better mileage. But Michelin said also the wet performance is improved, which is something we are looking forward to see in the tests.

Expert summary

100 out of 100 in rolling resistance, mileage, and EV suitability — the e.Primacy is in a class of its own when it comes to efficiency. It's also one of the quietest tyres you can buy. Just know that braking and wet cornering are average at best. A tyre for maximising range, not fun.

Top brands in 265/50 R20

Did you know ...?

265/50 R20 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for summer tyres - there are 14 tyre models available, which can be compared to 155/65 R14, 155/70 R13, 155/65 R13. Let's break down the sizing - 50 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 50% of the tyre width (265mm), which means the sidewall height has 132.5 mm. The wheel diameter is R20, which means it fits to a 20 inch/508mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 2428.45 mm, which is very similar to 295/45 R20(2430.02 mm), 245/75 R16(2431.28 mm), 265/45 R21(2425 mm), 215/85 R16(2425 mm), 265/55 R19(2431.91 mm), 245/70 R17(2434.11 mm), 265/60 R18(2435.36 mm). There are multiple speed indexes available for summer tyres in 265/50 R20: H(210km/h), S(180km/h), T(190km/h), V(240km/h), W(270km/h), Y(300km/h). The same goes for weight indexes: 107, 111, 112, 115.
