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 Pilot Sport range from Michelin is now almost legendary, with the Cup variants being the fastest road legal tyres available. But the ‚ordinary‘ Pilot Sport 5 not as spory as it’s name suggest - it’s incredibly well balanced, with the priority being low rolling resistance and high mileage over sporty handling. It’s still a Michelin tire, so higher price is to be expected.

Did you know ...?
275/35 R18 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for summer tyres - there are 21 tyre models available, which can be compared to 175/70 R13, 155/65 R13, 155/80 R13. Let's break down the sizing - 35 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 35% of the tyre width (275mm), which means the sidewall height has 96.25 mm. The wheel diameter is R18, which means it fits to a 18 inch/457.2mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 2041.09 mm, which is very similar to 160/60 R18(2039.52 mm), 235/30 R20(2038.89 mm), 285/25 R20(2043.61 mm), 215/45 R18(2044.23 mm), 225/60 R15(2045.18 mm), 180/60 R17(2035.12 mm), 185/80 R14(2047.06 mm).
