Who would guess my favorite tire reviews would come from a British guy that lives in America that tests tires in Sweden, France, and middle nowhere Texas on tires that aren't even always available in my market. It's a remarkably interesting to see someone that enjoys what they do being able to share information on something that we all use.

Knowing that the Asymmetric 6 has come with improvements, if we can get it at the same price as the 5s, it will be, without a doubt, the best price-perfomance tire in it's segment. And that's great news for me as a 5 fan.

Always a fantastic job, thank you. I think the case for all weather tyres in the UK is becoming more and more important. Because its not all about their performance in the snow, but also in temperatures below 7 degrees and we have almost 6 months per year when we are below that. So specially in the rain all weather tyres are safer to drive.

I recently did a track day on F1 5's in the rain. I was running circles around all the guys with semi slicks etc. The are incredible in the wet. Good in the dry but of course there are limits, you cannot have everything in one tyre. But if you need a good all around tyre, it's a good choice. Now considering PS5 as an upgrade but this will sacrifice some wet performance I'm afraid.

Finally, a test that compare 4 season tire to summer tires. The difference is so small that most summer tires would probably perform worse than the Vector 4Seasons. It would be great to include the best 4 season tires (like Vredestein Quatrac, Goodyear Vector 4Seasons, Michelin CrossClimate) in all summer tire tests as I expect these to be better than most summer tires. For example, my experience is that the Vredestein Quatrac is cornering much better than the Hankook Ventus Prime 3 on a Golf MK4 1.8t (testing on dry tarmac in a hot summer day). It is so good that I will probably go to track days with the Quatrac.

Interesting one, for me to see how the All season Stacks up against a UHP. It would be interesting to see if the performance advantage continued on a more realistic surface. I.e. one with bits of ground up dead leaves...mud...oil, loose gravel or whether the sipes would then prove an advantage.

I'm running Michelin Cross Climate 2 and, for me, this all season tyre works excellently. It never feels lacking in any department (albeit I have no way of testing braking distances etc), and is noticeably more comfortable and quiet than the tyres it replaced. Although I'm running them on a humble A3 TDi, they feel good enough that I think they would also be OK on something with more performance, like my previous Golf R. I would not argue with the two tyre set approach (I've done it in the past) but the UK has the weirdest of climates and a tyre that is decent at everything works better for me than a summer tyre in a heavy downpour, a winter tyre on a particularly mild day etc.
@MrRedRye 2 жыл бұрын
If you could guarantee several months of constant weather it would be sensible to go with two sets of tyres. As you say, in the UK when you can have 4 seasons in a day, it's just easier to go with the best compromise for every weather condition. I'm starting to think these great all-season tyres are best for everything except high performance cars.

I’m running them on my 7.5 GTD on 18’s with the intention on going back to the summer tyres once it warms up (UK also). They are great, quiet, great ride and no complaints in all weather. Fine for a bog standard commute. They are more progressive with less overall grip however. I do enjoy the summer tyres on the 19’s more but the CC’2s have been worth it in the colder months for sure!

Although not included on this test, I have the F1 Supersport. Previously on Asymmetric 5. On wet weather the Asymmetric 5 gave more confidence than the Supersport, however on dry weather the Supersport will run rings round the Asymmetric 5. Mind boggling grip on dry weather, literally will not break traction. For UK weather though I think the Asymmetric 6 looks to be the winner.

I have to correct you on the db thing. 3 db more is not twice the sound pressure. Here is how it works, and you can probably see why there is the confusion about why people might think 3 db is twice the sound pressure. It takes twice the power to increase sound by 3 db i,e if 103 db takes 50 watts, an increase to 106 db takes 100 watts. That is however not the same as twice the SPL or twice as loud. In fact, it is not that much in terms of how the human ear perceives an increase in SPL. To double the sound pressure level, it takes 6 db. Again, that is not the same as what we hear as twice as loud. It means that the amplitude or physical energy in the sound waves are now doubled what they were. So 103 to 109 db for example is twice the SPL. Now as far as what we perceive as twice as loud psychoacoustically is quite different. It takes a whopping 10 db to increase volume so that we perceive it as twice as loud. When talking about going from 72 to 70 db, while there is a difference, it's actually not that big. What often makes a difference in terms of tyre noise, is where the frequency is. The Bridgestone Potenza S001 for the GTI is probably one of the worst shoes I've ever had the misfortune of trying. It has a lot of white noise in the 800 to 3000 hz range, right where we are very sensitive. Dreadful tyre from a noise perspective.

I'm a fan and super happy user of the Asymmetric 5s, now needing to buy new tires for a new car, I'm having mixed feelings about the 6... you can see from the thread design that they've increased the size of the blocks, which must be the cause for better dry handling and more aquaplaning. I honestly think 90% of the time a high performance tire will stand out as much safer than a medium tier tire, on the wet. In the dry the limit is so high that most users will not even get close to experiencing it. On a very wet, fast bend on an Italian highway, I think I might still want to have the 5s...

@@flyingphoenix113 Not entirely true, if you try a regular 159 or 156 with their 12.5:1 racks, or even better 156 GTA with its 11.8:1 rack you will notice how communicative the steering is while being really fast at the same time, both cars have hydraulic systems. Compare them with the BMW E90 and E46 respectively as they belong to the same generations, you will find the steering much slower while having relatively the same responsiveness. It is about the setup and the geometry, also Germans tend to make their cars better suited to an average idiot who can kill himself by sneezing on the AutoBahn. Tesla model 3 has electric steering as many modern cars, and that system does not translate any information from the road, this is why McLaren still has their hydraulic or hybrid steering systems, they are known for having the best steering in the business. The industry needed 50 years to make a good steering response out of hydraulically assisted racks but now everyone goes electric, let's hope they will master it in less than 50 years. :) But those are two different things, speed and responsiveness, I choose both if I can, however if the car must have electric steering, then it should at least have fast and precise rack matched with the car's geometry, otherwise all cars will drive like boring Golf or Audi. Sorry Jonathan, you were right, Tesla rack is around 10.3:1, it is faster than the Giulia. :)

To put another thought on using AllSeasonTyres: I own some classics. Leightweight (compared to today's cars), much less power. Problem: modern tyres are built to suit modern needs with even in compacts 150+ hp and curb weights north of 1,5 tons. Far too stiff, far too harsh for a classic. AllSeasonTyres solve the problem. Inspiring confidence with humid conditions compared to "classic tyres", uneffected with colder temps and far better comfort especially in allowing the old springs to do their job. And GoodYears look quite good, too!

Interested to hear feedback from people trying the Asymmetric 6 after having had the 5's. I've recently had a full set of Asymmetric 5's fitted to my Audi and while they handle well, the seemingly high rolling resistance is causing quite a drop in fuel economy. I've started raising the pressures incrementally which is helping but ideally I shouldn't go much higher.
@tyrereviews 2 жыл бұрын
What tyres were they before? The Asym 5 isn't known to be super high rolling resistance
@Willenium2k4 2 жыл бұрын
I've had Pilot Sport 4, Nexen SU1 and Vredestein Wintrac Xtreme S previous to these. I generally ran those at about 40-42psi which felt good and the car drove well. Since changing to Asymmetric 5 it seems like the car drags more and the fuel economy plummeted. Have increased to about 46psi up front and 44 in the rear which has brought it closer to previous, but I'm reluctant to go much higher than that. Alignment was checked during tyre fitting and all parameters were in the green.

Stellar job on making all these tests and comparisons! Have you ever considered testing the same summer/all season tyre model(s) but in two vastly different profiles? I.e., to directly compare the same model in high vs low profile. I've seen your performance summer tyre test in different wheel sizes, but all of them were still low profile tyres. I'm faced with deciding on the tyre set for my new car, which has a very high profile tyres (225/60 R18 vs 215/45 R17 on my previous car). I'd love to go with CrossClimate 2, but I'm worried that it will be too floaty feeling due to the height of the sidewall - wondering if it's something I'll notice.

First of all hats off for your effort in testing. Every video is really great. Question: have you thought about doing these tests with (fully) loaded vehicles? I know, of course, that increases the effort. But you could pack at least 100 kg in the trunk and 70 kg each in the footwell. I would be interested to know whether the differences between the tires would remain the same, or whether one or the other tire can still bring out a little more reserve?

Thanks for this elaborate review. Like I mentionend in one of the comments in one of your previous tyre reviews, I'm an MX-5 RF owner and a huge fan of the GY EF1 AS5. Now I'm a bit unsure. Talking about the "right choice" when purchasing new tyres next season: The MX-5 is a very lightweight convertible. It is also EXTREMELY sensitive concerning wet grip/ aquaplaning, especially at lower temperatures in spring or fall. What would you recommend, should I stick with the AS5 or go for the AS6?

So I had two passenger side blow outs 🤦🏾♂️ Can you recommend the tire with the best longitudinal grip regardless of manufacture? Want to run 245 square and wet is preferred. I'm considering DWS06+ and there's a Michelin tire I think the AS4. Had to go back to the 265 DWS06 staggered rears. A Nokian WRG4 front driver side and a BF Goodrich Comp 2 A/S. The Nokia WRG4 had over 50k miles and only the rear blew from hitting a sharp pot hole. The front had a bubble. The set did well going through winter and hitting pot holes through Baltimore. Would buy again.

I have see a review from Pilot Sport 5, and the reviewer say, that the tire is more for comfortable ride, not sporty. My experience with PS4 was, that after 1 season they died, Asymmetric 5 have after season 3mm, but the grip was ± identical. I drive not the heaviest car, but fast enough to get problems with the law.
