As a car guy with anxiety all I can say is thank you to tire rack. I work at gibbs across the street shipping. When I'm busy as heck getting stressed it's the tires roasting on the track across the street that keeps me excited and centered. Thank you for the sweet tire music! Love that yall had the olive st bridge in the video too! Salute and cheers from across the street!

Great test! Must admit I was a little disappointed with the RT45 but the Falken definitely caught my eye with performance ratings. Looking forward to more tests!

I wish you would keep the old reviews accessible on your website at least for a short while so we could compare those results with these. The General Altimax RT45 fared very well in your previous review and is revered by many as the best bang for the buck tire out there. I had good luck with the older General Altimax RT43 on two different vehicles so I replaced them with a set of the RT45 on one of the vehicles six months before we sold it. I was very impressed with them and had another set of RT45s installed on our other vehicle a few months later. I was surprised the RT45 failed the emergency maneuver test. I agree that handling isn't it's strong suit, but I found that adding a bit more tire pressure helps greatly with this. I have them running at 41 PSI instead of the 36 PSI recommended on the tire placard. They are XL tires (OE was SL) so that might make a difference too.

So far with about 17,000 on the Rt45 they have been better than the stock contentals that came on the car. Makes a subaru a tank in the snow. Good wet traction. I do agree little higher pressure helps with handling. We will see how long they last could of got 55k to 60k out of the OE contental tires on the subaru.

I agree. A possible workaround is to look up test results by the tire model - it shows all of the tests that tire was in

I’m a Honda service advisor and tires are one of my favorite things to study. Honda dealerships source their tires through TireRack Wholesale. The Continental TrueContact Tour tires on my commuter 2016 Civic LX are getting low on tread after 50k miles, so I’m shopping for replacements. I’ve got my eyes on Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus and Michelin CrossClimate2 (which I’ve got on my wife’s 2019 Odyssey). But after watching this video I am seriously considering the Falken Sinceras. I love their price point and the testing doesn’t lie!

Be honest: Did you guys make the vogue picture frame hands? "Strike a pose." I can't tell you how helpful this was. So much more comprehensive than just the ratings grid. It also showed me that the more expensive brands aren't always that great.

Thank you for your comment! We wish we could test every tire, but unfortunately there has to be a limit just to keep a test manageable and consistent. Rest assured, we have conducted individual testing sessions for both the Continental PureContact LS and the Continental TrueContact Tour. Take a look at our full test reports for more information: bit.ly/4ceNwwv ( PureContact LS) and bit.ly/3SQEDj4 (TrueContact Tour).

Hi Tire rack, thanks for the detailed review. Wet weather driving/traction and low noise is a priority for me, so i like the look of the Vredestein HiTrac All Season. How does this compare to the Conti Cross Contact LX25 or Yoko Geo CV G058 in the Premium CUV test? I drive a 2020 Subie Forester Ltd. Thanks

At this time, we do not have any plans to add a Model Y to our lineup. However, we do offer a good selection of EV tires for our Model 3 platform in 19-inch, 20-inch, and 21-inch sizes. We are continuously seeking ways to enhance our testing processes. If you have any specific tires in mind that you would like to see us test, please feel free to share your suggestions. Thank you.

@@tirerack Sure, but Im just wondering in general if putting pilot sport 4S on a FWD car. or like non-super sport car is worth it, or if another tire can provide comparable grip, but be smoother, quieter, etc. For example. 2016 scion tC 225/45/18's. again, grip is most important, but if my car cant take advantage of a ps4s then what else can I go with?

I would recommend a UHP summer tire over a Max Performance tire (e.g. 4S). Tire Rack recently did a UHP tire review. As you move towards better dry performance, you lose some of the comfort and noise suppression. If you have the outgoing V6 Camry, you can DEFINITELY make use of a UHP tire in SoCal. Instead of the Pilot Sport 4S, you can look at the Pilot Sport 4 or Pilot Sport All-Season 4, General G-MAX RS, Advan Flexa V701, etc.

It does seem they were going for a "mid-level touring tire test" when they said as much in the conclusion section. They've done lots of premium brands in the past so hopefully they'll be posting more in the future.
