Could you please cover glass transition subject of summer tires regarding the most popular brands?

[@8359s]

Hello, I would like you to ask for help regarding problem I cannot solve for a long time. Owners of classic Porsche models 944, 968, 928, 930 Turbo have this issue. There are almost no tires in the 245/45/16 size for the 9J rims at the back. There is reedition of Yokohama 008P which has very mixed reviews, Michelin MXX3, some Pirellis, Toyos, old Conti SportContact N2... help please!

It’s my high key sorry not sorry thing to nerd out about. I love how 4 tiny donuts of rubber and other composites touching the road makes such a huge difference in the same car.

[@TheHavoc09]

My absolute favorite way to research tires is this channel. Have bought UHP summer and winter tires as well as all seasons and have never been disappointed. Great work 👍

[@tyrereviews]

:D what did you end up buying?

[@Rosskoflex]

Ive done Crossclimate 2, DWS, ps4s, x-ice, indy 500 All have been just tits for their intended use cases

[@TheHavoc09]

​@tyrereviews Sporty RWD coupe Summer: Continental SportContact 6. Great grip, sidewalls stiff enough for fast steering and feedback yet comfortable and cheaper than Michelin. Winter: Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 Sporty electric car: Comes with Goodyear F1, bought Goodyear Ultra grip performance for winter Wife's car: Continentals all seasons based on your review. I mainly worry about snow, sleet, heavy rain. Summer performance is easily adequate enough.

[@ckm-mkc]

Same here, I religiously follow this channel and have tried to buy "all weather" tires. Last purchases were Pirelli WeatherActive (fantastic tires), Nokian AT (also terrific, but totally different), Falken WildPeak AT Trail (some of the best do anything tires ever), General G-Max (really good). My use case is two fold - a mostly summer tire that can deal with occasional snow trips or an off-road tire that can handle sharp rocky desert terrain. AFAIK, the only one that does everything is the Falken. I just bought an SUV that came with the Atlas Force UHP - was going to change them but after this test, I'm going to leave them alone.....

[@TheHavoc09]

@ckm4535 I would keep the Atlas tires too. Not bad/dangerous and not great. Sounds perfectly fine for normal driving.

[@tyler951]

Thanks for this video, still the most comprehensive comparison that includes the new PZero AS Plus 3 and since the Conti DWS06 plus doesn’t come in my cars size which would be my preferred choice, made the decision to buy the Pirelli pretty easy.

[@Billy123bobzzz]

Wow! Excellent comparison, which is very useful! I agree that wet performance is extremely important, however we purchase all season tires so we can still drive in light to medium snow, we do not expect deep snow performance because most of us do not live in deep snow territory, and in one of those rare winter storms that drops a lot of snow, we simply wait for the plows to clear the major streets so we actually can still get out sand back, we might only experience a small amount of snow closer to home where residential streets are now plowed as often as major streets so we still drive on light to medium snow for a short distance, so we do look forward to a snow test in light to medium snow. Thank you!

[@missingremote4388]

I live in America where is snows too. State of Wisconsin. He didn't test my tires... usually switch to dedicated winter tires November to March. Now n my tenth set of four each tires.

[@paul756uk2]

After my experience, I would find out what tyres your model was homologated on and stick with those. My view is that it's all very well going by reviews but that's not a representation of how the results of a tyre test will translate to your own car. Car and tyre manufacturers work together on new models but apart from fitting OEMs its can be a matter of luck as to whether or not the tyres will perform as well as expected. Just my view. This probably doesn't apply in all cases but definitely in cars that are anything but run of the mill. This is the conclusion I've drawn after my experience. I've got a second generation M class that I've had for a number of years. The previous set of tyres I had fitted were conti sport contact 2s which I was perfectly happy with. I subsequently found out that these were the tyres this car was homologated with. I had them replaced with sport contact 6s and everything about them was absolutely appalling not because they were bad tyres, just not suitable for this car. They skipped terribly when pulling out of my drive or at any time a fuller but not even a full lock was required. They tram lined badly in anything but perfect surfaces (an experience I've had before when having different wear states in front and rears due to the car being a permanent 4wd which led me to the conclusion all 4 should be replaced at the same time. At the time I thought I could eak out a thousand or so miles from the rears as they had a bit more life in them. Not a great idea I learnt). However, the worst part was the excessive wear. I'd only done around 4k miles and they were wearing badly, prematurely and the fronts were splitting. I wrote to continental who were absolutely fantastic in their response. That may have been partly due to the fact that I could provide them with all of the information they asked for, (Receipts for previous tyres, proof of mileages, photos etc). They gave me the option of sending someone to look at the car, which they didn't see much point in doing or send a new set of sport contact 2s to a fitter of my choice free of charge which I naturally accepted. The difference was immediately noticeable. The thing with cars like this that are permanent 4wd is that there are a lot of forces working against each other particularly when steering hence the more compliant nature of the sport contact 2s. I had mentioned my experience on this channel a couple of times but after having some lengthy conversations with the guy from continental I'll be choosing tyres more carefully in future. This is just my experience and thought it might be of some help. All of this was recently as I had the new tyres fitted in May.

@@tyrereviews objectively, they seem to be very similar on our on the road feel/performance.

The Continental DWS should be thought as Dry Wet Slush. These are very good as a year rounder if you live in a climate where you have snow that dose not get deep or the roads get serviced. In several inches of new snow you may want something with more bite, but in that sloppy slush the next days after the storm they are very dependable.

[@tyrereviews]

Agreed!

Falken Azenis on my 03 C4S. Very happy with them. THey also have way better thread wear rating than Continental or Pirelli at a budget-friendly price.

I bought the falken G5 Sport before it was discontinued. Definitely going to continue using their tires. My old tires I couldn't even floor it in 2nd / 3rd gear in the rain, falken A/S I literally can almost do 1st in the rain without losing grip.

[@plektosgaming]

The P Zero +3s also seem to FINALLY be decent in the rain. Pirelli was almost BFG laughably bad as a brand in the rain but these stick well enough at the expense of a little faster wear. No worse than other tires on my Mustang, though. 30-35K is all I ever get. :) The Continental are softer sidewall than I'd like for a high torque RWD car, and as others have mentioned when testing with heavy cars, the thing is stable but feels a lot more floaty than you''d like. No complaints with the +3s. As for noise and ride - not an issue at all in my car - lol. Like when he tested tires in this Dodge Challenger. Turn up the radio as you can't hear anything anyways :)

Continental Extreme Contact DWS06s have been on my 1987 535is for several years. I run then in warm weather only. They remain true and are wearing quite evenly. I expect they will last and run true down to the wear bars. I just put them away for 2023. I rotate them at the start of each warm season. The tires look good and feel good, giving great confidence in cornering and stopping .They were at a good price point for how high a rating they received at the time of purchase. I have yet to break these tires loose in hard cornering on dry pavement. I feel very confident pushing until the first chirp or squeal comes on. That is some scary fast cornering, because the tires are loath to protest much, good fun.

Before watching, I'm really pulling for Continental. Aside from the fact that it has the coolest tread pattern of any tire made, it's also served me VERY well on my Miata. I was the only sports car driving in the snow, and I showed my buddy's Mustang tail lights in the summer. I'm well pleased. Also, regarding NVH, when I drove for a limo company, we put DWS06 tires on our Chrysler 300 stretch, and that it got MASSIVELY quieter and smootger than whatever they had on before.

[@SayAhh]

If I bought a Miata, then I'd probably put Pilot Sport All Season 4 on them.

[@JETZcorp]

@SayAhh I can't speak directly on the AS4. But, I just replaced my DWS06+ (rival to the AS4) with ExtremeContact Sport 02s, and Holy God. I thought the grip was great before, but the true summer tire is a monster. Much more crisp and solid response, too. I absolutely understand why you'd choose a UHP all-season. But if you can bump up to a true summer tire, I recommend it.

I put the BFGs on my Golf Alltrack several months ago and I'm happy (but not ecstatic) with them; there are very few choices in appropriate tire sizes for my car in the US! I like the sporty feel, the ride is firm but well controlled, wet performance isn't amazing but it's good enough; I do experience that scrubby feel with them, they're not the grippiest tires but they do feel really nice at a ~7/10ths sorta trot. Not very quiet but not problematically loud. I'm hoping their tread life is good, I've just put a few thousand miles on them so far. I like having the M+S rating on the sidewall in case I can skip chain controls but I haven't been to the snow for a few years so I don't need the tire's performance focused on snow and ice.

Firehawk Indy 500 are really popular here in Vancouver, so I think it would be quite interesting to see how they do in a Tyre Reviews test.

[@Omnis2]

Wish the Firestone Firehawk AS V2 was included here. I haven't been able to find any reviews or objective testing on it, but I have a set and they're at least as good if not better than my last set of General Gmax AS 05s. (Hard to tell because of the inherent new vs old bias) Edit: would also be interesting since Firestone basically went with the same line of thinking as Continental's DWS in terms of tread design.

[@tyrereviews]

I'm late to the party, but I always enjoy watching these videos. As an owner of both the continental DWS06+ and The ExtremeContact sport 02 (continental sucks at naming), I would definitely agree with what he has said about the DWS06+ in this video. As the data shows it's a phenomenal tire for the segment. It is definitely pricey, however, I can only say it's worth the money if you don't plan on adding any additional power to any car you put this on. I am now pushing 400+WHP on a open diff fwd honda and I needed a summer tire that would cope with the extra power. I have used this tire in the snow and it leaves a lot to be desired in the winter. It will get you to A and B as long as you can control the amount of throttle you give it. I wouldn't be surprised if continental passes Michelin in all categories here soon as it makes for fantastic competition and better products for everyone to enjoy. Hopefully i didn't piss off too many people here as I am only sharing my experience, thank you.

What is the environment temperature for these tests? Would be interested in dry and wet handling in cold temp.

Good review, thanks. The Challenger Super Charger sounded great also.

[@TMM6900]

In Canada. If you buy set of Conti aftermarket tires. They offer road side assistants and road hazard. Im not sure if they will get 80,000 KM even with regular rotation and wheel alignment 🤔

[@RandomGuyDan]

The Conti is a great tire. I've run them on 3 cars and they are outstanding on snow.

[@duncanidaho2097]

Thanks for your eval video from a super competent driver standpoint. That new Falken rated high in smoothness and quiet in addition to your super high performance eval. I’m looking to replace tires on my Camry V6. The General as-05 is rated highly for a street tire not driven like a maniac.

[@stevelock5808]

Great review, any idea when we might see the update on snow performance?

[@nokoolaid]

thanks for the review. I have a Challenger RT Scat Pack 1320. I have the General RS on there now. 30k tires that are mostly done at 15k. I haven't even had it to the track and it's my daily car. I hope to find something that last longer without being too expensive.

[@boywonderrr71]

Very nice as always!! I usually run summer only but after moving from CA to TN I may have to goto all season as the weekly thunderstoms and downpours are figging dangerous. The amount of water they drop is staggering. Not used to summer showers/downpours. I dont want to lose the dry performance but my ATSV wont be any good sitting in the massive ditches they have for the water run-off.

[@tyrereviews]

Unless it's cold a summer tire should still work best in heavy rain conditions

[@Fordworldrallyfan]

@@tyrereviews Especially a properly siped/rain grooved, and NOT semi-slick, shallow tread depth, 200 tread wear track/autocross gumball summer tire. ;)

[@uniqueera1]

Great video as always!! One question, which UHP all season tyres are available in Europe? Since, usually most of them are only for the US market

[@tyrereviews]

Sady none of these but Falken did just release this: www.tyrereviews.com/Article/Falken-EUROALL-SEASON-AS220-PRO---Launched.htm

[@1000yrsofdeathh]

Was planning to get the continental but the Vredestein is on sale for $600 so went with those.

[@AshKnight]

Great test, current toying between the Conti’s and Goodyear Vector 4seasons; I live near London. Now need to see a snow test of these please!! 😁 not that we get much of that here lol

[@bb57365]

Just got a set for my s3. Good pricing and rebates sealed the deal over the Michelins.

[@9876karthi]

Continental ContiPro Contact is a AA traction rated tire...good for almost all seasons, even moderate snow. BUT low tread life for that extra traction.

[@vasekvi]

Been running General GMax AS 05 on different vehicles. Lexus IS, Honda Accord, Honda Civic Type R. Looks like they are in this video, let's see how they do!

Tires evolve and so does your content. I'm a man and I don't like rubbers so big congrats lol

[@tyrereviews]

Thanks. I think!

[@glenross4308]

Currently running the Contis on my Focus ST. Big fan of the handling and traction. Biggest 2 issues are wear, got about 20000 miles and they are shot. Second thing is flats, it has been ridiculous.

[@tyrereviews]

Yikes, generally the wear seems good, youhaving a lot of fun? :D

[@jeffmooreD40]

Continentals DWS06 PLUS on my wife’s BMW X4 M40 cupped out after 22k. Very surprised. Could be a balance issue? Also, showing wear as I do my own depth measuring.

[@RandomGuyDan]

This has been an issue with mine too. They seem to have a softer sidewall and the factory 20" wheels on my car have taken a beating on Chicago roads.

[@gustavogo2915]

@@RandomGuyDanget out of Chicago then…..

[@Fordworldrallyfan]

@@RandomGuyDan That is the one drawback making me hesitant to buy these Contis as my next daily driver wheels tire, that total lack of an XL rated side wall in the sizes I need/could possibly use. That, and the surprising, and disappointing amount of people on here stating just how easily, and readily they flat. ☹

[@liquidsmokemustang1537]

Nice review. The one thing I’d like to see in any/all tire reviews is it’s Tram-lining characteristic’s.

[@plektosgaming]

In the U.S., the only dealers for Falken are a coupe of specific chains and smaller dealers. The rub here is that they will charge you $80 or more in installation and smaller fees, making it actually MORE expensive than just getting the Continental or Pirelli at your local chain store that's running a discount or sale.

[@dimmacommunication]

I was talking with a friend of mine about your reviews today , eheh 4s tires 🏎🏎

[@tyrereviews]

:D

[@robme3660]

I had good luck with the general gs-05s. I never really found myself wanting more in the real world.

[@Fordworldrallyfan]

I'd like to see the new(er) GS-07s included in the next all season test he does, to see if they move up the list at all with any improvements. ;)

[@skurge98]

I am curious about Nokian Tires. Specifically the Nokian One's and how they compare to Michelin and Pirelli's offerings for an all season tire. Trying to do research for tires for my dodge challenger AWD.

[@BigRedtheGinger]

Almost a year later I just got a set of General GMax AS 07 for my 2020 Honda Civic Sport. I feel like the General is "looser" than the BFGoodrich GForce Comp2 AS+ that I had(both 235/40R18 on Motegi MR131 Traklite). I felt more confident with the BFGs. When I wear these Generals out, I'm thinking about getting a set of those Pirellis. I have Bridgestone Blizzak WS90s for the snow, and a 1979 Dodge W150 Power Wagon with 31x10.50R15 BFG KO2s for the snow.

[@mattbarry79]

What's going on with Michelin? I just had the Pirellis fitted on my C43 because I couldn't find the A/S 4's anywhere.

[@tyrereviews]

they're a popular tyre!

[@wbwayne8887]

​​ After having a set for over a year and counting, I can definitely see why. Outstanding tire.

[@Fordworldrallyfan]

Same. They release, then hype up their pure summer Pilot Sport 5, which gets astonishing reviews from almost every tire tester out there, then even after being available in Europe/rest of the world for over 2 years, it is STILL not readily available in the U.S. yet in anything but larger OEM high zoot cars' sizes. 😠 They will NEVER allow me to have this perfect for my needs/uses, highly rated STREET tire (vs. 200 tread wear autocross/open track) tire in the actual size I need (215/40-17). Whereas there are thousands of them sitting on the racks of the Euro/Brit warehouses and dealers shelves. 🤬 (So it is NOT like they do not exist!)

[@rENEGADE666JEDI]

I hope that you will be able to test the Pirelli model in the UHP summer tire test for next year. Pirelli are on your channel quite rarely and the results are very good. Currently, I have P Zero tires in my car since new, so it would be a very important comparison for me.

[@bb57365]

Just got a set for my s3. Good pricing and rebates sealed the deal over the Michelins. Contis.

[@VinnieTheVanno]

Another brilliant video, I don’t know why but I’m obsessed with these and watch them all. As a recent convert to campervan ownership I’ve searched your channel and website but can’t find any information or comparisons on commercially rated tyres I.e. something suitable for a transporter like the Michelin Agilis crossclimate Do you have any intentions of ever doing that sort of comparison? I’m sure lots of fleet managers would be interested

[@tyrereviews]

I probably won't sadly, I don't have time enough as it is. However there are some tests on www.tyrereviews.com which use transporters and vans. Find the Agilis CC on the site and they'll be linked.

[@richardelliott8352]

I enjoy this content, so am adding a few words to trigger the tracking algorithms and help the lad get paid. Living in So California I don't see a lot of rain or snow, but went with all season performance tires for the vette because I anticipate cold mornings camping in the Sierra mountains . Went with good year because if I need tires away from home, they are easy to get in America, unlike , at times Michelins. Most guys in my area run michelins, because it is an easy choice, and not everybody makes the somewhat unusual sizes corvettes need. Would have gone for the continental, but read conflicting measurements about the outside diameter being slightly smaller than Goodyear, which I doubted, but didn't want to chance it. I knew the Goodyear brand provided more than I needed, except in an emergency, and was originally OEM, so little chance of being slightly undersized , even though I am not running the OEM runflats. Also, I live around where a Goodyear blimp is based, and the sight of that airship power sliding across the clear blue sky down by the beach on a windy spring day, just made me want to buy tires.

[@tyrereviews]

I like that goodyear, not very good in snow but a fun tyre
