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

Continental did it again with the PremiumContact 7. It’s an incredibly well balanced tire with just the right wet and dry grip and above average mileage. Since it’s launch in 2023 it got nothing but the best results in the tests, the only downside being it’s premium price.

Expert summary

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.

One of the cheaper tyres that can be recommended as it hasn't failed a single test and is often rated as a economical choice. It's surprisingly quiet, so if you are looking for a good and comfortable tyre, Azenis FK520 could be a tyre for you.

Top brands in 275/40 R21

Did you know ...?

275/40 R21 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for summer tyres - there are 10 tyre models available, which can be compared to 165/60 R15, 165/60 R14, 165/65 R15. Let's break down the sizing - 40 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 40% of the tyre width (275mm), which means the sidewall height has 110 mm. The wheel diameter is R21, which means it fits to a 21 inch/533.4mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 2366.88 mm, which is very similar to 245/50 R20(2365.62 mm), 265/70 R15(2362.48 mm), 275/45 R20(2373.47 mm), 245/60 R18(2359.96 mm), 245/65 R17(2357.14 mm), 245/70 R16(2354.31 mm), 285/35 R22(2382.27 mm). There are multiple speed indexes available for summer tyres in 275/40 R21: H(210km/h), V(240km/h), W(270km/h), Y(300km/h). The same goes for weight indexes: 107.

There are 5 runflat variants available.
