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.

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!

Firestone Roadhawk 2
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.

Bridgestone Turanza 6
The Turanza 6 is quite a new addition to Bridgestone’s lineup, being introduced in 2023. Featuring the new ENLITEN technology, it should be lighter and have positive effect on fuel efficiency. In the tests, the efficiency is confirmed alongside with higher mileage. That being said, it somehow lacks the performance of other premium tyres, so we would recommend it only when the price is lower.

Did you know ...?
255/50 R20 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for summer tyres - there are 22 tyre models available, which can be compared to 175/70 R14, 165/65 R13, 165/70 R13. Let's break down the sizing - 50 is height of the tyre, which is calculated as 50% of the tyre width (255mm), which means the sidewall height has 127.5 mm. The wheel diameter is R20, which means it fits to a 20 inch/508mm diameter wheel. The total circumference of the tyre is 2397.04 mm, which is very similar to 255/55 R19(2397.35 mm), 255/60 R18(2397.66 mm), 255/65 R17(2397.98 mm), 235/65 R18(2396.09 mm), 255/70 R16(2398.29 mm), 285/45 R20(2401.75 mm), 235/55 R20(2408.03 mm). There are multiple speed indexes available for summer tyres in 255/50 R20: H(210km/h), T(190km/h), V(240km/h), W(270km/h), Y(300km/h). The same goes for weight indexes: 105, 107, 109.
