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.

285/40 R22 doesn't belong to the most popular dimensions for summer tyres - there are 11 tyre models available, which can be compared to 170/80 R15, 165/70 R13, 325/30 R21. 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 total circumference of the tyre is 2471.81 mm, which is very similar to 315/40 R21(2467.41 mm), 255/55 R20(2477.15 mm), 275/55 R19(2466.46 mm), 275/65 R17(2479.66 mm), 285/45 R21(2481.54 mm), 275/50 R20(2459.87 mm), 275/70 R16(2486.26 mm).
