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.

My RS3 came with the Potenza Sports stock and I tracked them. You're spot on your analysis compared to my experience with them. I might have had them over-inflated a bit, but yeah, they drove great, were fast, but self destructed in the process. Lasted about 15 sessions and all tires were chunking everywhere. I regret not saving them for street only use.

Bridgestone for me. I don't mind spending money on tires. Wet performance and wheel protection is what I need. If I change it every 20k road use, that complies my personal requirement. I also use s22's on my motorbike for 60k km(third pair). Got a good vibe with this brand overall.

[@milandajic7168]

@@indyrock8148how is the tread wear? Lots of people say that the Asymmetric 6 wears out very fast 🤔

[@indyrock8148]

@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.

[@debdobdoornob]

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.

[@artysanmobile]

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.

we dont need more b roll dont apologise for it we come here for the facts and then your opinion and stay because we value it!

I can't imagine all this equipment, time and testing makes any of this even remotely profitable from KZbin ads alone. I do hope this channel continues to gain umm... Traction? As it definitely deserves it.

I do love a tyre pun :)

Love your work - thank you

Jonathan the amount of details you gothrough and the fact that you are that invested in giving solid data and relevant information is why this is hands down the best tyre channel around. I enjoy the content you make and I truly do think you are making the difference in the traffic with your videos. The video was super informative and I appreciate the large amount of data as it is interesing and well presented. For me - I just got fitted new tyres on my 18" wheels for my 2015 Volvo XC70 and I went with Hankook S1 Evo 3 and after seeing your video I am reassured in my choice as a daily driver and my girlfriend driving it as well - I am happy about the price and performance to deliver safe characteristics to a car that is not all that interested in being chicked into corners. Cheers and I am looking forward to your next video as always! :)

Living in Latvia, I felt tears coming to my eyes when I heard "Cause normally it's wet in winter" :D But thanks for your work and effort you put into performing those tests and making videos. Thanks to your insights, I've completely changed my approach to tire choice and finally I'm happy and 100% sure of what I chose and why. I hope this season will bring the life of the stock Michelin Primacy 4 to an end so I can replace them with Goodyear Asymmetric. But I have a question: your review of the handling balance is based on front-wheel driven Golf. How will it translate to a rear-wheel driven car? Will the tires that tend to give Golf oversteering make a rear-wheel driven car oversteer too much?

Lithuanian here, winter is a sludgy mess here as well

Would love to see Nokians, especially the z-line as, in these summer tests. There is almost no testing published on them. I happen to think they deliver excellent value but can’t help but wonder how much ultimate performance they give up.

Terrific and indepth analyses! I like your personal views supported by scientific data, and most importantly , your most impartial and independent passion for fast car lovers, well done and grateful for all your efforts

That brief explanation of Dekra's test was interesting. Would love to see an -in-depth video of that process one day.

[@tyrereviews]
