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.

The P Zero range is with us for a long time, also being a favorite choice for car manufacturers as first equipment. It’s a good, well balanced and enjoyable tyre. It tends to get quite a few mid-life updates so make sure you get the latest one.

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
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.

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 driver's tyre through and through. The P Zero PZ5 took first place in dry handling and posted the best aquaplaning speed in test — sporty, but with real safety margins. Wet handling is the weak spot, so this one's for those who value dry grip and aquaplaning resistance above all.

Did you know ...?

285/40 R22 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for summer tyres - there are 11 tyre models available, which can be compared to 170/80 R15, 165/70 R13, 325/30 R21. Let's break down the sizing - 40 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 40% of the tyre width (285mm), which means the sidewall height has 114 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 2471.81 mm, which is very similar to 315/40 R21(2467.41 mm), 255/55 R20(2477.15 mm), 275/55 R19(2466.46 mm), 275/65 R17(2479.66 mm), 285/45 R21(2481.54 mm), 275/50 R20(2459.87 mm), 275/70 R16(2486.26 mm). There are multiple speed indexes available for summer tyres in 285/40 R22: H(210km/h), V(240km/h), W(270km/h), Y(300km/h). The same goes for weight indexes: 106, 110.
