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

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

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 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.

Expert summary

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.

Top brands in 285/40 R19

Did you know ...?

285/40 R19 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for summer tyres - there are 13 tyre models available, which can be compared to 185/50 R16, 175/75 R16, 185/55 R16. 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 R19, which means it fits to a 19 inch/482.6mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 2232.42 mm, which is very similar to 215/65 R17(2234.61 mm), 235/65 R16(2236.5 mm), 255/40 R20(2236.81 mm), 255/45 R19(2237.13 mm), 205/55 R19(2224.56 mm), 285/35 R20(2222.68 mm), 235/60 R17(2242.47 mm). There are multiple speed indexes available for summer tyres in 285/40 R19: V(240km/h), W(270km/h), Y(300km/h). The same goes for weight indexes: 103, 107, 127.
