Honestly the insane amount of usable information this guy gives us by doing a lot of of research is impressive.

Good to see you use a typical type of car that many of us drive, rather than a higher performance car such as a Porsche, Audi, etc.

Excellent test,kudos to the team. Keep up the good work,you have no competition. After following tire tests in car magazines (Auto,motor und sport, Auto zeitung, ADAC tests)for 45 years you are the only ones on the internet that do this job very proffesionaly and to the highest of standards. I know it costs a lot of money and expertize to do those tests but you are doing an important public service and crushing it. Thank you!

I’ve always run budget tires on my car, but this time round it was time to change all 4 and I went with a premium tire (Goodyear eagle f1 asymmetric 6) and I will not lie, it is actually unbelievable the amount of difference it makes, even in sub 2 degrees C, the car feels like it has unlimited grip, it is much more comfortable and tire noise is reduce massively. I don’t think I’ll ever put budget tires on my car ever again. Rip my wallet but definitely the best thing you can do to your car.

As always, great content on tires that is second to none. I appreciate the acknowledgment on EVs and the verbal blurb on which one would probably be best for electrics.

Very good review and I agree. I drive a Jeep and experienced Bridgestone and Continental. Both very good. Excelent on all tracks even on German Autobahn and on wet surface. I also drove with high speed on a screw/spike. I heared a bang, It did not loose air pressure. Later I saw the screw/spike in it. My local garage repaired the tire within 10 minutes! Thanks again.

Currently i'm using the Hankook Ventus Prime 4 and absolutely love it! Dry grip, wet grip, handling all good. Priced well and quite fun to drive too

Just amazing content!! By very very far the best tire reviews!!

Great production, thank you for sharing this info with us. Waiting for the wear test as well :)

Very thorough review as always. I bought Conti Premium Contacts (an earlier incarnation) several years back on your recommendation and have been very happy with them. Have been through a couple of sets and will definitely choose them again next time I need tyres. The only slight downside is that they can be a little noisy, as you point out, but apart from that, they're excellent. Last well and keenly priced, too. Thanks for your advice.

Super helpful test! Also so smart to have a tool to change the weighting based on where you live/what’s more important to you

Thanks people. This sort of review is extremely useful. We already bought Goodyear for the wet handling as that was out biggest concern.

Thanks for your work, it helped me choose the all weather tyres that are doing well. You're doing a service to all of us

Thanks for this outstanding set of tests, as usual. It's great that you include the individual scores - for me, driving on UK roads and having experienced it years ago, preventing aquaplaning is absolutely crucial. Pleased to see the Falken tyres performed very well in this regard, as I tend to get these fitted on my cars (most recently as RFTs for my 3 series).

Love watching your videos and reviews. Thank you for your great effort. 👏👏👏

Very enjoyable video as always. Looking forward to the UHP vid for 2023.

It could be really awesome if you included the current best all season tire in your summer/winter tire tests, just to see how much worse/better off we would be with an all-season.

Best tire reviews on the internet. Thank you for always speaking your truth

Excellent review as always!!!

Fantastic testing! I'd love to see how the budget USA UniRoyal Tiger Paw, the well-rated economy Maaxis, and the venerable BF Goodrich tires perform. Thanks!!

I always enjoy reviews on this channel. It is the top1 goto! I think that the double coin dc99 is very good, when you plan to build a tire swing for your kids in the garden. 15m more stopping distance is unbelievable.

Just bought Tires for my mother yesterday 😅 But I learned alot from you, thank you for all the effort!

thank you so much this was so helpful i love this touring tires series because im looking for best low noise & comfort

You’re a legend mate. Thanks for the excellent work as always. Test idea: What about a comparison between bugdet/mid-range winter tyres against budget/premium all-season tyres? I do not know if this is the same for all of Europe at least, but in Romania you can often find premium all-season tyres at mid-range winter tyres price, and I am left wondering which one would actually perform better or at least be better value if the differences are significant.

I've just got a set of Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2's fitted today, they still have to properly set but an amazing tyre. Low noise, comfortable and great steering, although not properly tested for grip yet

this video gives a lot information, appreciate you keep it the content like this.

A very great test as usual

Thanks so much for all of the effort you put in. You are truly the Gold standard when it comes to tire tests. I have a set of Continental VikingContact7’s on my Corolla and they’re great. I want to replace loud summer Firestone FT140’s with the quietest tire money can buy as the car is loud.. but I’m finding 15” is becoming a more limited size than it used to be, excluding me from the best. I wish I could put the new contis on but oh well I guess

I bought a set of 4 Pirelli Cinturato p7 all season plus 2s last summer and I have been thoroughly impressed with them. They are my first Pirelli tires I've owned. I had the Michelin Primacy MXV4 previously and the ride quality and sound level is a huge step up superior to the Michelins. I'm not saying that the Michelins are not a good tire but the Pirellis are better on my car.

This is what we need. Cheers!

Thank You for your work.

I work in the tyre industry so always look forward to your videos, this video specifically is very helpful as this is an area we sell a lot of tyres in. About your budget test I'm looking forward to it and I'm just hoping u managed to get hold of the triangle th202 as since hearing about it a few weeks ago it peaked my curiosity with its 'A rating in the wet'.. quite interested to see how it does in testing, good or bad

Finally! Quality content is back after a long long time....maybe almost 2 months

The only place on the net where you get honest unbiased information about tyres, keep up the good work!

Great video fella, I’m with you with how good both this Continental is and the sports contact 7! Awesome

I absolutely LOVE and appreciate your tire reviews and comparisons. By far the best, most complete, and most helpful reviews there are out on the web. As someone while lives in the United States, my only suggestion (request) would be to better identify what tires are designed (sold in/made for) the North American market vs. the European market. I know you do some of the time but tests like this I could tell that none of them are available in North America (only because it's my job as a service manager at an independent repair shop). That would be swell if you could somehow identify the market these are for. Other than that keep up the amazing work! Thank you

Looking forward to the budget test. Always a 'fun' category. Interesting to see your perspective of the NA1. I found it decent in the dry but pretty poor on the wet. It would just start to understeer with zero feedback, eerie.

Always love to watch your vid when comparing tyres❤

Thank you, Very good Tyre review

Thanks for this review, your analysis was absolutely spot on. I picked up 4 new the continental contact sport 7 tyres. They grip so well in the wet and dry surface giving you a confidence level of a 1000%. My car is a C43 Amg with these tyres Iam currently getting a 0-60 time of 3.9/4 seconds, with my old Pirelli P Zero tyres It was doing around 4.2/4.3 seconds 0-60. It's definitely an upgrade

I'm excited to see the Premium Contact 7 in a High Performance comparison soon! I hope it still kept its sportiness compared to the Premium Contact 6. I really like the steering response and would prefer this sharper turn in over a Pilot Sport 4. I also think it's interesting how Continental offers one tire to compete both in the touring and the high performance category.

Freakin Fantastic job mate.

I like especially that you added the treads and weights.

Superb video! Guys never ever go for cheap tyres/tires. I always go for Michelin, Bridgestone, Continental, Goodyear and sometimes Pirelli, Hankook

Great review as always. Looking forward to see comparison of Conti PC7 with Michellin PS 5 and Goodyear EA 6 as I am going to buy new set this year and looking for best noise/comfort from those 3 🙂

I've just purchesed the Pirelli's and I adore them. Couldn't have picked them without your amazing and in depth reviews, keep up the amazing work mister!

Great test, as always. Thank you! 🙂

I would love to see budget tires tested that are more popular in Eastern Europe. Tyres like Tigar, Debica, Laufenn would be nice to see.

I think your reviews are great and whilst I can afford to buy expensive tyres there are many families out there at the moment who are really struggling. So they do not have much choice when it comes to buying tyres for their car. How about doing a really worthwhile test on budget tyres for families who just drive at normal speeds in all weathers, this would be doing a great service for thousands of families. Just a thought!

Another great video! Thank you. Please take your top 5 mild A/T tires to the snow!!🙏

Aaaaahhh my favourite tyre's category. Awesome job, as usual my firend!

I was just thinking, the Nankang would be a neat choice for a low powered car on a track day, to practice dealing with wild and woolly handling events. reminds me of some of the early reviews of the GT86 car, with it horrid stock tires that let you drift around at 15mph or something.

Hey John, great video as always I was waiting for this test to specially see the Continental Premium Contact 7 and Bridgestone Turanza T006 as I was really curious to see how much improvement these two major manufacturers made, and the CPC7 did not disappoint! I love the idea of making a separate video for budget tyres as there are many really good and promising new manufacturers in that category and it would be interesting to see how they rank against each other, instead of having only one or two each year against the premiums. It would be great if you could include the Turanza 6 in that test as well like the CPC7, to get the data on that tyre, as one of the things that both the Turanza 5 and the CPC6 fell short of Michelin and Goodyear in the past is the wear as both did poorly in comparison to the best from what I recall, they also did worse in both comfort and noise than those two so it would be interesting to see how much they improved in these 3 categories Looking forward to your next video and I hope to be able to compare those results to the premiums in the website as well

Yet another quality informative video!

Thanks so much for the Continental PremiumContact 7! Will now sure buy those in 215/60 R17 for my car this summer!

Exceptional work, once again. I eagerly await the next one. Looks like I will be fitting the Conti to my motor imminently!

So many cars don't have spares any more and come with run flats. Please do a runflat test

I've just went and bought the michelin primacy 4+ in 225/45 R18 configuration for my BMW 225xe plug-in hybrid. It seems a good all around summer tire for our needs. Thank you for your review

Great video as always. Track day tyre comparisons would be a cool to see on your tests.

It might be interesting to plot the groove depth and weight against dry handling. 7.3 mm against 8.6 mm is quite a difference (block stiffness, temperature) and the weight might actully correlate not only groove depth but also construction (stiffness, belt arrangement).

Great presentations, love the content. Could you test smaller sizes which would suit 13 or 14 inches diameter wheels. Thinking of the Aygo, Fiesta size cars. I have an older,and rarer car a Daihatsu Sirion 1.5 SX Auto which is great to drive and does 52 mpg and free in the ulez zones surprisingly. I have the Goodyear Vector 4 Season Gen 3 tyres fitted which are a fantastic tyre on this car. Regards David Evans

Your reviews are the best!

Bought the Bridgestones EG P2 based on your tests and reviews. Thank you. Reasonably priced tyre. Halfords currently has 10% discount on Bridgestones if you buy 4.

So thankful for your channel, its tough to find unbiased tire reviews. would it be possible to do a comparison for Hybrid vehicle tires? I'm running the Michelin Primacy 3 E and I feel it needs an upgrade in regards to driving feel and wet grip. I drive a BMW 530e tuned to +400hp and I want to upgrade the tires but if I look at normal petrol car tires the side walls are too soft for the weight of the car. If I ask BMW they just recommend the stock tires which is fine when the car was stock but not now... I used to run the Michelin Pilot sport 4S on my old GTR and really like them but they don't seem to make a hybrid version of it. The only version I found was the Michelin Pilot Sport EV but I'm not sure to which petrol version it correlates to. Since they focus more on range and tire noise, but I'm not bothered with range to be honest.

You made me buy a set of PremiumContact 6. You made me buy a set of WinterContact TS 860. Then you made me buy a set of WinterContact TS 870. Now you made me buy a set of PremiumContact 7 (will fit them this spring)! So happy they improved the wet grip. Every set of Continentals that I had has been outstanding! Thank you for another amazing video and for helping me keep my family safe over the years!

So interesting! Thanks.

Thank you!

Brilliant as always … just wish would spend and extra bit for good tires Love from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I hope your budget tyre tests will include Landsail. In the UK market they're being pushed hard by many suppliers as "premium performance budget cost" and my boss has fell for it to be an official stockist and it annoys the hell out of me that he pushes them on every customer and there are no tests for them since like 2014 that shows how bad they actually are

Welcome back mate. Been a while! Will be watching this with dinner in 20 min

It seems to me that a lot of results are impacted by thread depth, so the tyres with more thread seems to have consistently done better in wet... obviously apart of Double Coin which honestly should be illegal to sell. But for the rest of mid-range+ tyres this seems to corelate. Would be interesting to see what results would be when all the tyres are consistently worn to say 5mm. And I know there was one test couple of years ago, but it seems to me maybe EU tyre labelling methodology should be improved i.e. giving 3 scores - when brand new, when worn to 5mm and when worn to 3mm. I almost find labelling misleading considering that tyres have very different thread depth from new and obviously they are only new for 1000 miles or so, and after that the performance will start changing significantly, in some cases for better (in dry) for some case worse (in wet).

Thank you. Keep on

DAMM thank you dude FOR ALL THIS información your giving us that was awsome man 😮 good work and thanks again your the man

Fantastic test as usual brother. You made an excellent point with wet breaking - what it really means in reality and people often overlook the fact - where the best tire stopped - the worst one made you crash at 45KM/h - that is a devastating difference and not worth any money you would save on such cheaply made tire. I would instead take the bus instead of driving on such tires :)

Cheap tyres should only be sold in dry climate countries.

Lately I bought Pirelli P7 C2, using it since 6 months its really best value tyre. My pervious tyres was continental premium cont. 5 which was excellent in performance but was too rigid to my car (Honda civic) and have unsolvable balance vibration issue on average and high speeds, plus the significant price difference compared with the Pirelli

My car had Bridgestone winter tires (245/40/17 Blizzak was on back and another 1 pair of 225/45/17 Bridgestone on front axe.) They were extremely loud, slipped on wet road like I'm driving on ice, also smelt very bad on +10 degrees. Then replaced all 4 by Pirelli Powergy (225/45/17 on front and 245/40/17 on back). The car became extremely quiet, on wet roads almost nearly 0 slippage, on dry roads it's perfect and no disgusting smell..

Cheap tires should be banned.

Once again. New tire reviews are ok, but what really matters to people is how well the tire lasts and how it does once worn.

Tyre is the word !!

Thank you! This is excellent, but a little disappointed that the Turanza T005 was reviewed and not the Turanza 6

Thank you! Looks like Turanza 006 missed this test...would be interesting to see how it compares!

Thanks for testing all those tires in one place and one time!

Ordered Premium Contact 7 a week ago and just now googled if they are any good. Haha, oh boy was i in for a treat 😅 felt good.

Great Job❤

Great video, great test! As always. Yet, would be helpfull if you'd posted the size of the tires you've tested, don't you think...

Man. Still only 201k sub? Not a million yet? Love you Jon!

Please do more!!

Great review as always. Keep up the good work. Will we see the PS5s this year?

Just fitted a set of four Pirelli P7 Cints run flats to my BMW 4 series Grand Coupe on 255/50/17's. They have transformed the ride, handling and noise level. It previosly had Dunlop Sports on the rear and two odd cheap tyres fitted by the previous owner on the front. You only get what you pay for.

Decided on the Bridgestone Turanza T005 because of this video. It's for a Toyota Mirai and with hydrogen prices currently a ridiculous $27/kg I needed the least rolling resistance possible. They were also have the price of the Michelin Primacy tires I was considering.

Great review and, as ever, always very informative. Would be great if you could review tyres for wet track days. I had a couple of spins in my Elise fitted with Yokohama V105 tyres in wet/damp conditions at Donington Park. I thought they'd be okay and wasn't really pushing it, but now I think not.

Always love watching your reviews... you explain everything a normal human can understand without being to technical.. quick question I have a 2019 zl1 camaro and australia put continental contisport contact5p on instead.. they still have heaps of tread but obviously too old so I can't pit the power down at all in the dry... which tyre would u recommend for the zl1 for best dry grip and acceleration/traction on a typical road surface. Wet grip doesn't faze me as it's never in the wet. Cheers

Really love your excellent work！Btw，The condition of wet handling track in Contidrom is really nice for tire testing. The friction and water film are quite constant.

Awesome. Could you also cover more about tire pressures and how they effect. Car manual pressures vs ideal pressures for the specific tire model.

Goodyear F1 Eagle Asymetric 5 on my BMW e90 feel like I am driving on train tracks. Wet, dry, turns, breaking no matter the condition, they are always there and reliable as hell. Best tyre I have ever driven.

Great video as always! Any test for high performance tires coming up?

Hi, I've just found your KZfaq channel and it is excellent. In a most of the videos I've watched you talk about being able to adjust the weightings of the tyre tests on your website depending on what factors of the tyre you feel is important (dry handling, noise etc). Unfortunately I've not been able to work out how to do this on the website. Please could you give me some advice on how to find and use these weightings. Thanks very much.

this channel deserves 1million subs
