Panaracer Race A Evo 3 tyres review

The Panaracer Race A Evo 3 is intended to be a versatile road tyre for all weather conditions

Cycling Weekly Verdict

I've had a positive experience with the Panaracer Race A Evo 3 tyres and certainly recommend you give them a try if you are looking for something that can give more protection than a dedicated summer tyre, but that still retains a nice feel and good grip.

Reasons to buy
  • +

    Rolls well for an all-weather tyre

  • +

    Great grip in the corners

  • +

    Good puncture protection

Developed and engineered in Japan, Panaracer has over 50 years of experience making high performance tyres. The Panaracer Race A Evo 3 is a tyre intended for all-weather use, with a good degree of puncture protection while still offering good rolling resistance, good grip and a supple feel.

An update on the previous Evo 2 version, the Race A sits in between the Race D, which has increased sidewall puncture protection and is slightly heavier, and the Race L. Should you want a lighter faster, more performance-orientated tyre, the Race L Evo 3 model is Panaracer's suggestion and weighs just 180g. All three models retail at £39.99.
