Expert summary

Blizzak has always been a winter tire focused on wet conditions, but with its sixth model, Bridgestone has promised improved snow performance and reduced rolling resistance. Early tests suggest they have delivered on these promises—Blizzak 6 is unmatched in wet conditions and excels on snow, making it ideal not just for city climates.

Expert summary

EuroWinter HS02 is very good and quite sporty on dry and wet, but lacks some performance on the snow which is the reason for the not so good test results. Weaknesses in aquaplaning and rolling resistance doesn't help either.

Top brands in 295/40 R20

Did you know ...?

295/40 R20 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for winter tyres - there are 20 tyre models available, which can be compared to 175/65 R15, 175/65 R13, 185/60 R14. Let's break down the sizing - 40 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 40% of the tyre width (295mm), which means the sidewall height has 118 mm.

The total circumference of the tyre is 2337.34 mm, which is very similar to 225/75 R16(2337.03 mm), 265/35 R22(2338.29 mm), 265/40 R21(2341.74 mm), 265/45 R20(2345.2 mm), 235/55 R19(2328.23 mm), 265/50 R19(2348.65 mm), 315/30 R22(2349.28 mm).
