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.

Michelin Pilot Sport 5
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.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6
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 ...?
245/40 R17 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for summer tyres - there are 41 tyre models available, which can be compared to 195/75 R16, 195/50 R15, 205/70 R15. Let's break down the sizing - 40 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 40% of the tyre width (245mm), which means the sidewall height has 98 mm. The wheel diameter is R17, which means it fits to a 17 inch/431.8mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 1972.29 mm, which is very similar to 185/60 R16(1974.18 mm), 205/60 R15(1969.78 mm), 195/70 R14(1974.81 mm), 245/35 R18(1975.12 mm), 215/40 R18(1976.69 mm), 180/55 R17(1978.58 mm), 215/45 R17(1964.44 mm).
