Best Tyre Reviews on the internet 🙂.

I went from Michelin Pilot Sport 4 to Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5, I immediately noticed the better steering precision and the lower noise. The lower grip on public roads is impossible to notice, but the difference in price is significant! I recommend them to everyone, they are really excellent.

never clicked so fast in my life. this is EXACTLY the test I've been looking for!

For many years Goodyear was Simply outclassed by other manufacturers, I’m so glad to see them back in the game.

Really enjoy your videos. Thanks for making them. I went from 19s to 18s for more comfort and this was a burning question. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for this test! Couple months ago I ended up buying the R18 Michelin Pilot Sport 4 for my BMW E60 (it's always raining in my area in Europe) and I very much agree with your observations in the video.

RIP GoPro camera/mount @ 5.58. Great review, thank you for doing a segment on tyres for the more everyday car. I have a 2008 Subaru Liberty GT currently fitted with 235/40/18 Pirelli Dragon Sport tyres (fitted by the previous owner) and always like to watch your videos to see what tyres I will choose next. Sounds like the Goodyear or Conti's for me based off your test and feedback.

"Personality" on a tier! As usual... the best, most informativ information you can get. Keep up the good work and THANK YOU.

Great video. I think your job title should be “Tyre Sommelier”

Great review! I have a Focus ST which came standard with the previous Goodyear F1s which struggled for traction, particularly in the wet. I put Michelin PS4 on a while ago when I replaced the F1s. The way they're described in this video is EXACTLY how they behave on the ST. There's more comfort than before but noticeably more understeer and less positive turn in - a trait I loved about the Focus when I bought it. PS4 has grip for sure but not as enjoyable for me. Comfortable though. 🤔

Thank U 4 talking about 17 inch as I went back to this size for comfort in my 325i and have michelin pilot sports and lose grip on slight turns at roundabouts trying to carry speed . Great and helpful review. Love all ur videos on tyres

Only watched half, but had to put a positive comment in before proceeding ! The way you described the Michelin is EXACTLY how I feel about it. Knowing we are so well calibrated in tastes makes your reviews so very useful. Your attention to detail is important and appreciated. Rim protection analysis - excellent! Fortunately for me, F1 Supersport is available in my 18 sizes. Your reviews have made me order a set - I will review them on the website once they are delivered and fitted and tested. Thank you!

7:54 watching how much the sidewall actually moves is really fascinating, Never realized there was that much movement. Almost feels like you could tear the tyre off if you have too much grip xD

I’ve been waiting for this review for a while so thank you. I have the Michelin’s on my Mini JCW, tyre size is 205/40/18. It’s definitely an understeer prone tyre, my car came with Pirelli P7 runflats which were awful tyres and the Michelin’s are better but not have to erased the understeer completely. I think part of the reason for my car being understeery is the tyre size is too small, so I’m thinking of going up a size next time. I will say I agree it’s a very comfortable and quiet tyre but it doesn’t fill me full of confidence when going into a corner at speed. Wet grip is much improved, pulling away quickly but not overly fast no longer causes the wheels to spin. Michelin have made a fantastic tyre, I just wish the 4S was available in 18 inches. I’m not sure if it’s the compound or tread pattern that causes the understeer but I’d love to try a 4S and see what that is like in comparison. I’ve never really considered the Conti before but next time I may do.

I just bought a set of Asymmetric 5’s last week because of your previous videos ! They feel amazing !

Last week I ordered four PS4 for my Mk7 Golf GTI and now finally you bring the video I had been waiting for!! I think I’ll be happy with my choice though. Great content, thanks.

Ordered 4 continental premium contact 6's instead of goodyear f1 a few days ago only because of the fuel rating. I have eagle f1 asymmetric 3 on my leon fr 184 (GTD in a Spanish dress)they were good tyres in all conditions. I would have stuck with goodyear if I had watched this review and saved a few quid.keep up the good work excellent reviews.

Thank you for the informative, interesting and helpful report.

Very interesting test report. These are exactly the three tyres I have been interested in for a long time. Thanks!

This channel NEVER fails to impress me with content and delivery. Keep up the great work! I have 18" wheels on my turbocharged 2002 IS300 (Altezza), but luckily here in the US, I was able to get Michelin PS 4S for it. :-)

Your reviews were the reason I mounted this Continental under my MX5, replacing the Asymmetric 2. That's not a fair comparison, but this Premium Contact 6 makes a huge difference. For my daily, my shortlist is exactly the tires you review here. Thanks! Still made no decision though...

So in summary actually just pick whichever you can find cheapest of the 3 in your area coz they're all so close that we shouldn't go wrong with any of them. Good comparison analysis as always and alleviate my doubts about the CPC6 which surprisingly is the sportiest of the 3.

Best reviews on the internet! So much work and experience.

Been waiting for this.

Man another amazing video!!! This is the best content on youtube at the moment hands down. So good. I still run Pilot Sport 3 from 2015 and they still have a season in them. You know what we gonna ask now right? Now we want the excact same comparasion but between the Pilot Sport 4 S, SportContact 6 and F1 Super Sport 😉

Excellent review, thank you, just at the right time. So now ordered a set of the Goodyear's for my BMW 3GT to get rid of the awful,, tired runflats. Looking forward to the balance of comfort and handling....you're right, after shopping around the Goodyears are way better in terms of price; I'll report back about performance once they're fitted.

Nice video been waiting for this tyre tier and size review !!!!

Waiting impatiently for one of your great reviews on Michelin Pilot Sport 5 vs Pilot Sport 4!

Introduction to this video was like pating on the back saying "I feel you bro"

First of all, I'd like to thank you a lot for the review! I believe it will help a lot for those who are hesitating between these three tires. I bought Michelin PS4 for my mk7.5 GTI this year and I totally fell in love with these tires! For the very imperfect roads in Ukraine, it gave me a very unexpected level of comfort on 18" wheels. Comparing to the base 17" Bridgestone Turanza T001 that was absolutely awful, it's much more silent and comfortable. Comparing to my previous 18" Continental Sport Contact 5, it's much more comfortable and softer. During the first ride, I even thought that the tires were underinflated but in fact, they were even overinflated. Finally, I found the perfect tires for me and my car.

Im so glad I just got a set of Asymmetric 5's. Thanks for the video. Very informative

Wait for this for a long time:) thanks

Had the PS4 on my ex Cayman S, like you said, nice, but just not very sporty. Just did some track driving at Zandvoort last weekend in my M140i on SuperSports, couldn't believe the grip, the progression and the lack of wear on them. unbelievable tire. I see that the PS4S is now available here in a few sizes in 18", trying that next. Keep up the excellent work!

I drive a Mondeo Titanium and I'm loving the refinement from the Pilot Sport 4. At the time, I was deciding between that and the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5, but I think based on this review, I made the right decision after all.

Great review, the good years are serving well!

Great content, as always. Thanks. You feed us tire [I’m American] nerds exactly what we like.

always best tyre reviews mate ! i got F1 assy at my s3 , now with my new golf r i go for michelin ps4

Yes thank you for this great review

Brilliant review of the top three 18inch tyres. I went from PS3s to GYA3 18inch wheels on my 8th gen 1.8 Civic. I loved the direct response and communication from PS3s, but chose Goodyear AS3 replacements for better comfort. I was thinking of PS4 next time as I miss the f eel of PS3s, but interestingly it seems PS4s give relatively less info now compared to their rivals! Thanks for doing the review we all ( fellow tyre geeks ) wanted.

Excellent balanced and objective video as ever. Really appreciate the work you do and the way that you do it.

Very nice review/test. Great you included to mention rim protection although not in the conclusion phase especially as all the tyres had their pro/cons and were evenly matched. I guess Michelin need to strengthen the sidewalls of the PS4 to give the driving feel you're after on a sporty car. Better yet put out the PS4s in the smaller size for drivers that are willing to sacrifice a little comfort for feel.

I have the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymetric 5 on my car and I absolutely love them! Great Review!

Good review. Thank you for taking the time to do this. 1st class.

I've experienced Michelin PS4 on a F56 MINI JCW and Goodyear Eagle Asymmetric 5 on my current E86 BMW Z4 Coupe. Different cars, but I think the Goodyear offers a good tire for the money. Cheaper than PS4 by far, and I like the steering feel and the fact that it looks good on the rims/tire sidewall. Haven't had them long enough to say anything about wear. Watched this video before I got them, and this channel should have had lot more views. Great work!👍🏻

Interesting result. I changed my old Mini Cooper Clubman S to the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 on 17" rims. The best tire i ever had. But i might change the next time to the Conti. Thanks for the interesting test. And not only the 19" or 20" fraction of the supercars.

A very informative review - off the back of this, I'm going to go for the Goodyears!

Amazing video. My Clio's running 15s and it's due for a tyre change soon, so I'll check out more of your stuff. The shots in the wet track are great, I'd never noticed how the tyre separates from the rim before.

Bought the Goodyear’s a month ago, and are so happy with them. Fitted on a VW Passat in 18”, they seemed like a perfect fit for the price, and I have not been disappointed.

That was good timing. I was just searching for a good overall tyre to put on an E46 with 18" wheels. Probably gonna get the Goodyear. Nice test! :)

Everyone: 'Do smaller sizes!' TR: *drops to a minute 18"* Everyone: *Cries in 16"*

Fabulous review as always. Thanks for the brilliant content!

That's what i waiting for ! Thank You! Like always good job!

Great video!! tahnks for commenting about the rim protection. When 3 tyres are really good, the rim protection makes you chose one over the others. I agree that the PS4 sidewall looks the best, by far!! If you change to 245/35/19, the price difference is much much bigger between PS4/PS4S and Asy5

Used to go tyre swimming when I was a kid those where good years 😂 I’ll see myself out

Great review,really love your reviews i must say. I got myself this Goodyears tires for my octavia 4x4 in 225/45/17 and its as you ve said. Couldnt agree more.

You are simply tyre GOD! And I must say thank god that we have you! Keep doing what you are doing!

Great review. I switched to Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5s after watching your previous review of this this tyre. Coming from awful Bridgestone Potenzas previously on my VW GTI mk7.5 Performance with 18 rims I have been super impressed. The handling is superb IMO, with good noise levels. I can drive confidently in any weather on any road surface. As a tyre to live with every day from commuting on motorways to blasting A and B roads at the weekend, I think the Goodyears are excellent. Also (rare for me) brushed a kerb recently, with minimal alloy damage that was easily repaired due to the sidewall. Thank you for your original 17/18/19 review which helped me spec 18s over 19s from new. And thank you for the advice to go with Goodyear 5s. On the GTI, I think a perfect combination. Keep up the great reviews!!! Cheers

I continue to run the Michelin Pilot Super Sports on 18inch wheels on my M135i. I love them ! I only purchased a set last week.

Very good review, I'll be sticking a set of the Goodyear's on my A4 Avant

Replacing the rears on my Z4 and this is exactly the video I was looking for. Thank you very much for the awesome content!

You manage to make tyre reviews interesting every time, well done! I recently bought the Goodyear in 245/40/19 based on a previous review, am very pleased! Big step up from the Goodyear runflats that were mounted earlier. When you consider price the Goodyear is difficult to look past. Cheers!

I love this guys videos.

Love you videos, informative and concise. Looking to upgrade my ZC32s Swift sport wheels to 18” so your reviews make it easier to select

You are by far, the one to beat on tire tests. Number one! So much good info. Thanks

Thanks for the details test for all 3 of them I'm having PS 4 on my Ford / Smax so far so good but never try Goodyear Eagle F1 before I've just order myself a set of Goodyear Eagle F1 for my 2nd car KIA Soul. It's the cheapest vs the other 2 brands & have all the handling as well seems like a good choice to give it a try. Finally install 4 Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 so far so good wet & dry handling was good & the price is cheaper than PS4

Im using the GY Eagle F1 A5 and think its a great all rounder like you say, I have used it on a track day and it just doesnt work so well pushed hard when hot but for the road with a nice B road on a hot hatch its great! Also wear is brillant so is price. Thanks for the great review!

Great review, thanks mate!

Most important question for me was rim protection, thanks for mentioning that!

I run the Goodyears on my hot hatch and have no complaints - cheaper than the Michelin the majority of the time and both have a leg up on each other for different qualities. Dry grip is v good but wet grip even better. Recommend to anyone if I'm being honest but you can't really go wrong with any of the three! Brilliant video!

Great tire review, thanks a lot. I am driving a Skoda superb 2.0 d. I am still driving on Eagle F1 asymmetric 2´s, pretty happy with them, long-lasting as well. My next tire will probably be the asymmetric 5. Michelin PS4 is probably a tad better for old guys like me, but the price difference in central Europe is quite big. If Michelin PS4S was available in 22540R18, it would be a different story all together of course. . .

It's the end of the road for my Conti Contact 2 which were put on my Audi TT by the previous owner. Dry handling is awesome but on wet it's appalling, when with thread at 4.8mm! Anyway, I'm excited to have Asymmetric 5s fitted all around this Friday. Made my choice after watching this review a couple of months ago. Thanks!

Love this test. GREAT Video. Love my Asym 5

Perfect timing! Thanks for this! 😃 I was looking to replace the Pirelli P Zero tyres on my car and asked the question in the other video comments a week or 2 ago.

First time I'm this early for tyre reviews :0

This is one of the most useful videos on tyres to have, thanks! And that flying camera was hilarious. Wish I knew about the massive difference you can get between tyres in terms of dynamics. Wouldn't have bought those Weather Control A005 tyres I keep yapping about, haha. I think it would be helpful if you referenced to this test in future tests of other tyres for context.

This is the exact video I needed. Happy with my Michelin Pilot Sport 4 now! Perhaps going to change to something different once these are finished.

Great and informative comparison! I'm so glad I had my friend buy the Premium Contact 6, he wanted something sporty and this validates my advice. I wish I could get UHP tyres on my Suzuki Swift Hybrid lol 185/55 R16 is such a bad size...

@5:59 when GoPro falls , true testing of tyres then :))

Great review as always.

Great test. Thank you, good job. I have exactly the same car and I was considering buying just these three tires. I finally bought Continental PC6 a week ago and I'm happy with them. It is a pity that this film did not appear a week ago because it certainly would have saved me many hours of analysis 😊

Run the GY F1 A5s in 17. They were a reasonable step up in steering feel over the old A2s I had. Absolutely would have opted for PS4S if it came in 17" size.

5:59 Something fell off the camera car. A camera mount perhaps?

Just mounted Continental PremiumContact 6 225/40R18 on my Škoda Octavia VRS, tuned though, with 320HP & 520Nm. Final choice was based on this Tyre review. Luckily the test car was the same, which contributed a lot. Did I get what I want? Yes. That and more. First of all, ride is not as bumpy, rigid or noisy as expected. Steering is so damn precise, sporty, linear, direct and wonderful...exactly as described, like I am driving completely different car. Match between this review and my experience is complete. Job well done, keep up the good work!

Nice presentation as always!

I've got the PS4 on and I totally agree with everything you've said. Feedback sometimes feels non existent and cornering can feel spongy.

Awesome I have a Vrs and been looking at all these tyres.

Love these reviews! Best on internet.

I just bought the Eagle F1 Asymetric5. Very happy with the riding and the price. Keep up the good work 💪💪💪

Cheers for the review 🍻 I'm rolling on PS4 at the moment and I agree with everything you said. Phenomenal in the wet but they're just not responsive enough on turn in

This is exactly the review I've been waiting for - I asked your advice on the PS4 and you also mentioned the F1 was a cheaper option - and now I'm completely stuck. LOL. I drive in the wet a lot, so will likely go for the PS4.

As someone whos looking to change from 215/45 R18's to 225/40/ R18's on their C30 (the oem tire size really is just a bit too skinny for the rim, and gives what I like to call "negative rim protection") this has been great thanks!

Excellent review. Keep it up ~ from Malaysia

I've fitted Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 to my BMW e46 325ci and they're noisy but do have plenty grip! Will hopefully get to try them out on a track this year!

It would be interesting to see a test between Michelin PS4 and PS4S in 17 inch on a old BMW e36 M3 and maybe how the tyres improved to the original equipment tyres if possible 😁🤷🏻‍♂️ I like your channel 👍🏻

Great review!!! One of the best I`ve ever seen. Thank you

Am looking to get either of these in 1 week thanks for reviewing them.

I made 2000km with the conti’s and I’m really happy. The salesman told me that was supposed to be the most comfortable one but what I wanted was a sporty feeling and I really enjoy my purchase for that reason. Who needs tire protection when you are a real carguy? You just stay away from anything that can scratch the rims haha

Ran asymmetric 5s on my last car Mazda MPS , inspired so much confidence in the wet it was a joke. I'm sure I didn't reach the limits of grip but I never felt afraid of pushing it in the rain. The rim protection is a great feature but it is quite large on the tires so they look a little bit donut-y and sidewall not the prettiest

Just ordered the PS4s as autumn / winter tyres for my integra. Just want to say thanks for the reviews. You do a great job. Keep it up. I just wish you did motorbike tyres too...
