[@nightfox2502]

Mate, I take my hat off to you. This is the best car channel I have come across. You take the complexity of modern tyres and very eloquently describe how intricate the details and differences are between them. Bloody love it. Keep them coming. I’d also be interested to see a test where you take front wheel drive hot hatches (high torque) and show how the handling can be transformed with the right set of tyres. I remember how sensitive the Mk1 Focus RS was. The original Michelin PS1’s it arrived with from the factory meant the car received very mixed reviews regarding the differential and tendency to torque steer. Replacing them with the newly launched at the time PS2’s was a revelation. Front end wet and dry grip/feel was sensational. Lift off oversteer was also so well telegraphed after the swap. I think in Britain we put tyres last when it come to our cars and a channel like this will hopefully be educational and ultimately save lives.

[@tyrereviews]

Thanks for the kind words :) We used a Focus ST for a video covering all three Michelin tyres, but I'll look into your suggestion further :)

[@wccmarcus]

Nice review! I'd recently came home from a vacation at the Nürburgring. Before I drove to the ring, I mounted the sportcontact 6 on my car (e46 M3). I was beyond impressed by these tyres, -so much grip! I came from less grip (Kumho ecsta) so it was a huge improvement! The only problem I would say is that they did get overheated after 1,5 lap on the nordschleife (especially the fronts). I tried different tyre pressure to sort it out, but the air and track temperature was too hot I think. (~30'C air and ~42'C ground). Anyways, -I'm super happy with the Continentals!

I've used the Michelin PSS at the Nurburgring and did not have any overheating issues.

I've driven both the conti 6p and Mpss on s205 c63 and the conti 6p wet and dry grip is outstanding. it is a step up for sure. All that said, ive done 10k+ of hard miles on the c63 with MPSS with a lot of tyre abuse and the rear wheels have loads of tread left. ultimately that's what matters to me . I used to have conti 5p on a AWD performance car previously and just after 6.5k miles the tread was down to around 4.5mm . my e46 m3 wears MP4s and with the complete lack of torque on this car, I can see these tyres lasting me 15 to 20k miles even though I drive with plenty of spirit

I've had Continental ContiExtreme DWs and then Michelin Pilot Super Sports on my GTI, and I see your argument very clearly (if I imagine that Continental feel of comfort and disconnectedness, in a better tire, but still versus that wonderful PSS).

[@mituc]

Very nice test/review, I am surprised! It would be nice to see how the PS4 is compared to the PSS - that if you think such a test between two very similar tires makes sense.

[@revitt1234]

Great to see such a comprehensive review. Interestingly I found the PSS awful on my E92 M3. Standard sizes but felt like the sidewalls were really soft. Higher grip limits than the OE PS2, but much less feedback. It even flickered the TC light on undulating motorway slip roads in the dry, as you could feel the tyres moving side to side at the rear, but without actually sliding. Very odd sensation. I spoke several times with Michelin UK who were great about it. Made a few suggestions (pressures, alignment & camber etc) but ultimately I wasn't happy. They offered to collect the tyres and replace with OE tyres again. Now running Cup2's and they are fantastic

[@tyrereviews]

Sadly every iteration of performance tyre is getting softer to fall in line with the EU noise and rolling resistance label scoring (see latest video on PSS vs PS4S). We've yet to try the Cup 2's directly with the PSS / PS4S, but it's something we're working on :)

[@sechszylinder8055]

I just ride the Continental SportContact 6, and well .... Comfort level and rolling noise is day and night compared to my old Bridge Turanza ER300 in Runflat. At the management level it's super soft and light. I feel like driving a different car, a lighter car especially on the front end. Level of handling nothing to see too. It feels like you can place the front of the car where you want to centimeter. Placebo effect or not, when starting strong the car leaves much faster, the power is "better transmitted to the road"

Having driven on various tires from both brands and what I would consider two (2) of the highest quality rated on the market incl. the model & trim lines tested I for the most part concur with the narrator/driver comments. In my opinion Michelin has more lateral grip and much better braking response. The racetracks iI am referring to are "road course" tracks as in TCR and SCCA GT circuts. The road courses are the closest to everyday road condions are crical factors as ir relates to cornering and braking. I tend to be "Miichelin" biased on that experience. Morever while Continental makes a very good, high quality tire if/when it comes to my family I will choose Michelin as the OE replacement whenever possible. Bred on exp.with family history of Mortsports driving, many in countries with various driving factors to consider including type of vehicle, altitude, hourly climate changes, and road conditions incl. omitted aggregate/pavement. Bottom line is IF $ are not a key factor you would want them to wear the best shoes for safety/heath, conditions and aesthetics. Now × 40 since since their in a vehicle traveling a much higher rate of speed. You would buy them best there is affordable within your budget of course. And that would be Michelin by a large margin. Check the stats, they lay out the facts, the most important being safety history

Great car / wheel choice :) I have a spacer rear (10mm), nothing front. With the 255/275 combo, the fronts rub a little on lock, and the rears can rub under extreme bump. I much prefer the car with the oe 245/265 sizes (which I've now moved back to), even if it doesn't look as cool. Worth noting my car is also lowered a little. Enjoy the new car :)

Tyre Reviews thank you for the reply. Why do you prefer the original size tires ? Because of the rubbing maybe ? Or do you feel less power with the bigger tyre size ? Is there not too much stretch with the 245/265 on these 9 and 10 inch rims ?

The 265 wide looks fine on the 10", follow tyre reviews instagram and I'll try and upload a picture next week. The rubbing definitely does annoy me on the wider tyres, to the point I can't have anyone in the rear of the car with the 275s!

From my experience, Contisport are much better overall tires, but if you drive on road which has rim bending potholes, the sidewalls are easiest to get bulging. I take the Michelin which has better construct sidewalls due to this one reason. But this is for me, I'm sure other drivers have the benefit of better quality roads than my country.

I normally hate mis-matched tyres front to rear but from what you are saying, steering feel will be better with the MPSS (and front end grip is fantastic with very little understeer) and traction will be better with the Conti so it could be win-win as the traction with the MPSS was really poor.

which of these two tires would you choose for a Mercedes CL65 V12 twin-turbo

[@tyrereviews]

The quiet, more comfortable nature of the Continental would like suit the character of the CL65 more than the Michelin Pilot Super Sport. Also worth checking the new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S.

[@svishnug007]

hey between michelin pilot sport 4 and continental sport contact 5 which is better in terms of performance and longivitey for Bmw f30 320d? 245/50/r17

[@tyrereviews]

Looking at the current testing, the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 just betters the replacement for the SportContact 5, which is the Premium Contact 6. Check out the Tyre Reviews website for full information!

Hey there nice video! Im here because I bought new rims and got some sportcontact 6 xl on them? I wonder about the xl, weight difference and anything else I should worrry about? Thanks

[@tyrereviews]

Nothing to worry about as long as the load rating meets requirements

@@tyrereviews Ok thanks, another question if you may. What pressures should one aim for? I have 235/35 on 8,5x19 rims and 265/30 on 9,5x19 rims. Thanks

thanks. I have a 2005 S500 4 Matic what 20inch tires would you recommend?

[@gerikuper6473]

Continental

[@sanscipher]

I'm curious, how do you test the tyres for wear, exactly?

[@tyrereviews]

Proper wear tests are extremely difficult to do, as you need identical cars and professional drivers to drive the tyres for at least 10,000km, then you can extrapolate life, this is why so few magazines do wear tests. Alternatively you can look at user tread life on sites such as Tyre Reviews

[@sanscipher]

Thanks. I thought there might be a machine that simulates that or measures the rubber hardness somehow.

[@tyrereviews]

You can measure the sure hardness of the rubber but it tells you very little about the wear or grip of the tyre. There are machines that can run "moving road" wear tests, but they still don't recreate real world conditions such as wet driving, temperature changes, different road surfaces. This is why real world wear testing is the best way.

[@lawrenceflanagan5037]

why no Dunlop?

[@prettybadusername]

Would you class the Pilot Sport 4 as a UHP tyre? I've got a Honda Integra DC5 and don't know whether to go for them or the AD08R...

[@lukasbauer586]

For Japanese cars recommended use Michelin Sport Tyres for superb grip and handling.

[@d.g.3803]

Michelin Pilot Sport 4 is very hard compound and soft sides, if you want drifting it´s perfect.

[@tyrereviews]

It's a comfort bias performance tyre. Not a true uhp like the ad08

[@tyrereviews]

If you can wait until the new year, the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S will be available which is the replacement to the Pilot Super Sport. This will likely be the be the UHP tyre to have for 2017.

[@gwallaganguk560]
