Expert summary

Our favorite every-day performance tyre that delivers fast laps on dry circuits while being safe for the daily commute, having won multiple tests in wet conditions. However, if you lean more towards comfort and low rolling resistance, the PremiumContact 7 might be a better choice.

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

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!

Did you know ...?

285/35 R22 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for summer tyres - there are 6 tyre models available, which can be compared to 155/60 R15, 170/60 R17, 160/60 R14. Let's break down the sizing - 35 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 35% of the tyre width (285mm), which means the sidewall height has 99.75 mm. The wheel diameter is R22, which means it fits to a 22 inch/558.8mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 2382.27 mm, which is very similar to 275/45 R20(2373.47 mm), 235/65 R18(2396.09 mm), 255/50 R20(2397.04 mm), 255/55 R19(2397.35 mm), 255/60 R18(2397.66 mm), 275/40 R21(2366.88 mm), 255/65 R17(2397.98 mm). There are multiple speed indexes available for summer tyres in 285/35 R22: E(km/h), H(210km/h), V(240km/h), W(270km/h), Y(300km/h). The same goes for weight indexes: 102, 106, 109, 117, 127.
