    =====
    This is Tyre Reviews most in depth tire test ever. I have 6 of the very best UHP summer tires on the market in 225/40 R18 and I'll be testing each of the tires to find out which is best in the dry, the wet, which has the best comfort, which uses the least fuel, which has the longest tread life / lowest wear, which tire is the best value, which tire is best for the environment, which tire is best when it's worn, which tire is best when it's cold! Basically everything you could want to know about these 6 tires.
    The tires we have in this performance tire test are:
    Bridgestone Potenza Sport
    Continental PremiumContact 7
    Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6
    Hankook Ventus S1 evo 3
    Michelin Pilot Sport 5
    Yokohama Advan Sport V107
    I don't hate Pirelli. I only had space for 6 tires and there's a new Pirelli P Zero coming soon so I didn't want to test a tire that's about to be replaced!
    Any questions please ask in the comments.

    A thought for this channel,
    Long term test data for all higher performance tyres is something I'm sure everyone can agree on we really need.
    Got assymetric 6's on a Leon 140 FR last April,
    Barely 8000 miles covered and only realised the other day my fronts are nearly done, couldn't believe it.
    Coming from running lesser cars on lesser brands of tyres for years (shout out to toyo's T1R, a great one for the money but sadly no longer in production) and so expected a jump to a high quality brand would likely bring better tyre longevity in addition to the tangible performance benefits but I was sorely mistaken, I could get 10 to 12k out of front tyres on a sporty little mk4 ibiza with way less power so I'm gutted at the prospect of maybe changing the fronts for new as I'm not sure how much more life I can get from the front pair if I swapped them with the back pair.

    Big props for shoving numbers to the back of the line in describing the pros and cons of these very different tires. I have driven two similar front engined Porsches for 40 years of my driving life. Obviously the models here were not even available for almost all of that time but, interestingly, the brands show a consistent affinity for behaviors over the years and even matching your current thoughts. It is true that you can like a brand when it comes to tires.
    I used Michelin, Goodyear, Continental, and Bridgestone on my cars over the years, eventually sticking with Michelin and your personal feelings about those four brands could have been my own. I’m not rich enough to use the unbelievably fast-wearing Bridgestone so that was a one-off. Contis were a one-off for me as well, no fun, fast wearing.
    Goodyear and Michelin were tried many times in the same category of high performance all weather. Goodyears were big fun driving hard and were affordable at the time. I probably used a half dozen sets or more and the ‘high ledge’ character remained for them all. They were also relatively quick to turn mean (rear happy) and I loved that. Goodyears were the only tire I used in anger on a track and I was blown away by their excellent behavior at the limit. I only switched because they were loud. Michelins gave me the best of all worlds. Very high & controllable grip, great water shedding, quiet and long lasting.
    Thanks so much for all the time and care you put into this.

    Once again tyrereviews comes along with the fully comprehensive SIX-WAY shootout! Another fantastic review. Really appreciate it, this will come in very useful. 👍 I already have PS5 on the front with PS4s still on the rear, and the PS5 are an improvement in both cold/winter and summer conditions, so the higher-scoring tyres must be _really_ good for UHP/summer use.

    • @indyrock8148
      @indyrock8148 Před 3 měsíci

      @milandajic7168 they have done about 9000 km and still look new. Wearing very evenly.
      My guess is I'll get at least 30 to 40 k km like any of these sort of tyres.
      They are staggered fitting on this vehicle so rotating is more limited.
      I'm expecting 4 years. Which is my preference not to let them get too old because where I live by 6 years they're well knackered.
      If it was a square set up and they are well aligned and rotated frequently I'd expect 40 to 50 + k km. Depending.
      Overall I'm expecting better than average wear from a UUHP.
      If your worried about wear then none of the UUHP tyres are your cup of tea.
      So far for price, performance and wear I rate these tyres very highly and recommend them. In heavy ex TC rain they are excellent.
      From my personal experience, in terms of driving dynamics they are just a bit below a GY Super Sport or Conti SC7. Which I have on other vehicles.
      They are well ahead of PS4 (NOT s), which I also have and never liked. Light years better.
      If your considering a PS 4 or 5 for longer life, or just cheaper, just go look at something like a Falken 510/520 or Hankook EVO 3. Or even kumho ps71. Or Conti PC7 is excellent.

    We recently purchased a 2019 A3. Based on your previous tests, we replaced the worn out All weather tyres with Goodyear F1-A6. These tyres match so well with the car. Undercarriage, suspension, tyres are all in sync. We are blessed around here with curvey country roads and hill climbs and it is just a joy. I would normally go for Pirelli (looking forward to the new Zero) or Michelin for summer tyres but so far very pleased with the F1-A6. Enjoy your channel, keep up the good work. And happy testing. Stay safe

    Thanks for the test, really thorough…. I’ve actually just replaced my Conti sport contacts for PS5s on one of my Abarths on 17 inch wheels. The reason being that the Contis were amazing for the first 6 months I owned them then they just got harder and harder as time went by. I’ve never had that with Michelins which I’ve always had on my Porsches, but never tried on the wee Abarth. Glad you said they are all decent so see how the PS5s go (unfortunately they don’t do a 4S in the size I need)

    I had my Carrera T delivered on Asymmetric tires (yeah, no PZero or PS4S...booooo), but after driving a few hundred km on them (threading lightly, as the car/engine needs a proper run in), I am quite pleased with their performance.
    If I had to compare them to something form my past experience...I would say they remind me of the Pilot Super Sport, a lot. Just that the Goodyear are a little better in the rain and even quieter.
    Just a suggestion: if you ever have the opportunity, a "comparison test" between the PZero, Asymmetric and PS4S on a 992 would bring down the internet. The interest is huge regarding this.
