Expert summary

The Kumho Ecsta PS71 has been around for a while and keeps showing up well in tests. Strong aquaplaning resistance, short braking distances, and balanced handling across conditions make it a dependable choice. Comfort and noise are where it compromises.

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

A budget tyre with real wet grip — that's rare. The Maxxis Victra Sport 5 handles wet roads confidently, brakes well, and stays quiet. The delayed steering response takes getting used to, but at this price point, the overall safety package is hard to argue with.

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.

Top brands in 275/45 R19

Did you know ...?

275/45 R19 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 - 45 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 45% of the tyre width (275mm), which means the sidewall height has 123.75 mm. The wheel diameter is R19, which means it fits to a 19 inch/482.6mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 2293.68 mm, which is very similar to 225/55 R19(2293.68 mm), 245/40 R21(2291.48 mm), 215/75 R16(2289.91 mm), 245/45 R20(2288.65 mm), 315/35 R20(2288.65 mm), 325/30 R21(2288.34 mm), 275/40 R20(2287.08 mm). There are multiple speed indexes available for summer tyres in 275/45 R19: H(210km/h), V(240km/h), W(270km/h), Y(300km/h). The same goes for weight indexes: 108.
