Best summer tyres in tests (2025)
Continental SportContact 7
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.

Bridgestone Potenza Sport
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.

Pirelli P Zero PZ4
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.

Did you know ...?
265/30 R20 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for summer tyres - there are 12 tyre models available, which can be compared to 165/60 R15, 185/55 R14, 170/60 R17. Let's break down the sizing - 30 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 30% of the tyre width (265mm), which means the sidewall height has 79.5 mm. The wheel diameter is R20, which means it fits to a 20 inch/508mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 2095.44 mm, which is very similar to 235/50 R17(2094.81 mm), 205/70 R15(2098.58 mm), 265/35 R19(2098.9 mm), 215/55 R17(2099.53 mm), 305/30 R19(2091.04 mm), 225/35 R20(2090.73 mm), 235/45 R18(2100.78 mm).
