Sorry there's no Pilot Sport 5 or Asymmetric 6 in this test, it's the wrong category of tire, and due to how weather works this was tested in October 2021, before the tires were released. I should have a full test with the new Goodyear and Michelin before the end of March!
In this tyre test, we'll be testing ten of the most popular ultra-ultra high performance summer tires on the market to find out exactly what tyre is best at what.
You might be wondering why this test is out so early in the year? There's a new tyre on the market, the Continental SportContact 7, and I really wanted to be the first person to test it!
To find out how good the new Continental is, I'll be putting it against some stiff competition:
Bridgestone Potenza Sport
Continental SportContact 7
Federal Evolution ST-1
Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport
Kumho Ecsta PS71
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S
Nankang Sportnex AS-2+
Toyo Proxes Sport A
Vredestein Ultrac Vorti+
And the cheapest set of tyres we could buy online for this Supra, which is a mix of Star Performer for the front axle and Goodride for the wider rear!
Full information on all the tyres in this test can be found on www.tire-reviews.com
As always, I'm going to deep dive into all the performance qualities of the tyres, and given the class of tyre, really focus on driving dynamics and enjoyment, so by the end of the test we'll know whether the new Continental really has moved the game on, or whether one of the established tyres can remain triumphant!
The tire test sizes are 255/35 R19 front axle and 275/35 R19 rear axle.
Any questions please feel free to ask below.

Thanks Jon for another fantastic review. I'm so glad that you include the tire weights in the specs and the braking distance. I computed the average longitudinal deceleration from the straight line braking distance and came up with 1.11g for the Continental and 0.99g for the mixed budget. That's really amazing for the Conti. I have much the same feeling about the Michelin PS4S that I have on my Z; great grip, great wet performance but too vague and imprecise on dry cornering. I may be asking too much from this tire that was not designed to excel in this category. Perhaps the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 would be better suited to my likes.

@@Bob-kt4yz No, my car with the OEM Bridgestone Potenza S007 didn't have the softer steering characteristics as this tire. The Potenzas had much stiffer sidewalls that contributed to their more precise response to steering inputs. Of course there was a tradeoff, in that the ride was harsher and a little noisier but I attribute the noise difference to the difference in tread design. Because of the less stiff sidewalls of the Michelins, I discovered that I had to increase inflation pressures by about 12 psi over the Bridgestone's pressures to maintain equal wear across the tread width. I did not say that the Michelins were not excellent road tires, they are, but I was commenting on what I surmised as a deliberate design difference that was aimed to satisfy a particular market need. I see the value in what expert drivers like Jon here provide in giving us helpful information about the handling characteristics of these not so cheap tires and I also appreciate the thoughtful comments of others who can share their driving experiences with these tires on different cars. I am puzzled by what you found so amusing in my comment, perhaps I'm missing something?

That's my main complaint about the car, although Nissan's engineers did work hard to keep the weight down with things like aluminium doors, hood and hatch. I'm planning on putting the car on a diet to see how much excess weight I can shed without affecting the aesthetics. Future mods include lighter Magnesium wheels and two piece brake rotors with aluminum hats, for lower unsprung weight and better suspension dynamics.

@@Bob-kt4yz That's a good point in favor of having tires that are more supple, a good term with which to describe that characteristic. The roads in the San Francisco bay area, where I live, have deteriorated badly over the years and so it might not be a bad idea to have such tires on the expensive mag wheels I'm considering. I already have to drive carefully in going over speed bumps and driveway dips, so as to avoid scraping my car's chin spoiler and the front tire's wind deflectors.

I know UHP were done few months back, but it was done on FWD hatchback and results just doesn't translate if one is looking for the tyres to fit on luxury car. I feel that Premium UHP tyres are most at home on luxury car (say BMW 3 or 5 series, MB or Lexus) - the cars with decent amount of power, RWD, but not track cars. As such it is hard to know what to fit on Luxury car, when results comes from hot-hatch on the track, yet one would not fit UUHP on such cars, because they just not getting tracked.

Great review as always, clear, informative and entertaining! The Conti SC7 delivers amazing performance. On a previous vehicle, I very much enjoyed the feel and grip of it's Conti5P tires, but found the wear to be very high, in line with it's low UTQG wear rating number. The Michelin PS4S that replaced them much better wear resistance as was suggested by it's better UTQG wear number (300 vs 240 for the Contis), albeit at the expense of steering feel as I see you've noted for the PS4S. I understand the UTQG ratings are not always representative of true wear performance, and I note that Conti doesn't publish these ratings (on their USA site at least), so my question is: is there now a reliable wear rating system for tires and if not, have you been able to gain any impression of how the Conti SC7's will wear? Looking forward to seeing how the next iteration of the PS S series compares! Also eager to see the upcoming PS5 test.

Another excellent review. I readily admit to being a bit of a Michelin advocate but I think I'm going to try the Continentals next time around. The aquaplaning resistance is a small concern but otherwise definitely worth trying. Thank you.

The aquaplane resistance is relatively poor out of the other UHP tyres but I think as long as you're not driving like a mad man in wet weather, you should be fine. I myself have only used Contis on my car as the Michelins tend to be around some 20-30£ more expensive in my country (x5 the amount)

@@randomesteven3935 I agree with you for the most part. I fell in love with the Michelin's from the first time I used them. As I live in the tropics I especially appreciated them in wet weather. Sudden and torrential downpours are definitely a thing. Unfortunately, while my country does have legislation regarding minimum tire tread depth it is almost universally ignored. Also, the majority of the population take advantage of 'foreign-used' tires so the tread depth is border-line from the moment they put them on their vehicle. This results in some questionable driving habits in the wet. Vehicles going 60-65 km/h in the overtaking lane of a 100 km/h highway is regretfully common (lane discipline is also sadly lacking). So, any advantage I can get in wet weather driving I'm inclined to take.

While I haven't been able to work them to their extremes, I've very much enjoyed my Continental TrueContact tires. I'd love to be able to run a good uhp in the summer, and maybe go back to a good winter rated all season when it gets cold (southeast US). Definitely loving continental...I may see about getting a set of those, or at least the Extreme Contact soon.

Hi James. Do you know the difference in the extreme contact, sport contact, true contact, and control contact continental tires? I got the discount tire exclusive control contact sport srs + tires and can't for the life of me find the answer. I'm hoping they are as good as the ones in this video
@jameshaulenbeek5931 Жыл бұрын
@@gretre4560 the extreme contact is a UHP all season tire, as is the control contact, the true contact is an all season touring tire, and the sport contact is a summer tire. The extreme contact and control contact should be somewhat similar, I would think.

That Continental Sportcontact 7 looks fantastic. However, in the US you can only get that tire in two 21” sizes. That is useless for us because most cars can’t work with that diameter of tire. What good is a tire if it isn’t available in sizes we need?

Bought the Potenza Sport last year and I‘m impressed, I’m still keeping an eye on wear but so far it’s been pretty good. The performance it delivers after a little warm up is outstanding in my opinion.

They give much more sporty ride and steering feel than the PS4 which seems to have been listed the only sport tyre by many. The initial 6.7mm is a shame and when it’s hot it wears faster. So for a part time sports car they are my fav, but for a daily the Goodyear or Michelin are bit more suitable. For rs3 or the lambo I can see why they are a good factory choice

@kalfreak3 Жыл бұрын
@@zuzo777 oh hehe completely forgot, they are a very well balanced tyre and best out of the 3 i would say, doesnt need much heat and somehow its frightening how similar wet grip feels to dry grip, you have to be careful because it just makes you push the car more. Bridgestones are more direct but not much in it. In corners Bridgestones in the back run out of grip before Contis do. I would rate it 9.5/10 for a uhp tyre. Very versitile with slight weak area being comfort and aquaplaning you have to watch out for it because the car gives you so much confidence in the wet.
