Great content! Love your videos and the knowledge you provide. One thing I can tell you I am looking forward to putting my summer Tires back on my car in a few weeks. As much as I like the Michelin crossclimate 2 there's nothing like a summer Tire. Unfortunately here in Indiana we had no snow so I was not able to test the michelin's out. I have been an Enthusiast about tires since 1994 when I put my first set of Bridgestone Blizzak tires on a 1993 Plymouth Sundance Duster. Small car with a heavy V6 up front I could go anywhere. There were really no all-wheel drive vehicles just pickups with four-wheel drive. I'll remember the countless people I surprised by the way I was able to maneuver around them and they had such a puzzled look on their face. It wasn't unusual to have 12 to 18 inches of snow in Rhode Island so every time it snowed I headed out and had a blast. No one ever heard of a winter tire they just called them snow tires but not like these bridgestone's. People would ask me about them and go out and purchase them the next day. I like to mention tires to people but as you know some just don't care lol! Take care

I bought the eagle f1 supersports back in 2022 after watching your videos, and I really can't praise them enough. the road feel and dry grip is literally insane. I am a bit of a tire nerd, and so, want to try as many tires as possible really, but the f1 supersports are so incredible that I don't want to risk replacing them with something less fun. Yes they're not the best in the wet, but they give really good feedback in the wet, so it's never a problem. I also got a set of Nokian Hakka Black 3 tires as spring / autumn tires for my car, and even though they are classed as UHP, I would rather call them a touring tire with uhp grip. The steering response is just not there, and the tire doesn't feel like it want's to go fast, but on the plus side, they're comfy and have low noise. We also got some toyo proxes TR1s for our 97' Volvo 850 turbo, and even though they don't have the best initial response, they load up nicely and they just feel correct on the car with 17"s and a 45 sidewall. They just feel like they match the chassis and just the older style of it. I haven't seen you test either the Hakka Black 3 or Proxes TR1s, which was probably why I got them myself, because I wanted to know what they were like. Your reviews are always the best, and thanks to them I have the F1 supersports, and couldn't be happier with them!

First of all, great video! As others have pointed out, your content is one of the best sources online when doing a research on tyres. One suggestion: Can you do a review on Continental Ultracontact NXT, which is a truly interesting tyre since it’s the first sustainability focused tyre, and there are absolutely no reviews done on it yet. So you’d be the first to do so. I looked into it since I need a 235/45/R20 summer tyre for my PHEV SUV, and my options are quite limited. I’m in between the Michelin Primacy 4 Plus, Continental UC 6, and this one: Continental UC NXT. Keep up the good work, we truly appreciate it!

Would love to see a test for current "R comps" (at least that's what we call them in the USA), like the Goodyear 3R, Pirelli Trofeo R, etc, and comparing those to the best 200tw road tires.

I’ve not seen you do a review on the Bridgestone Turanza 6 Launched last year. I think it replaced the 005 I had them fitted all round summer last year 225/55/17 XL on my insignia. What a tyre, wet weather feels like dry. Zero aquaplaning Great dry grip if not a little floaty for the first 2-300 miles So good i just replace my fronts today as the old ones were down to 2mm after 18,000 miles. While still offering immense grip and stopping in wet and dry, the ability to deal with standing water was diminishing, which you would expect. I can also confirm after numerous tests myself, an average of 4mpg saved once i switched. Which is pretty impressive for day to day. Average over 1000 miles before the switch was 39.8mpg After switch 44.2mpg And I ran that test multiple times in the build up to getting the tyres and after. Not the cheapest of tyre but more than worth it. Car:- 2012 vauxhall insignia 2.0 cdti 130bhp 1600kg car weight 225/55/R15 101w extra load.

This was a really informative video even if not much has changed. I know I have said it before but we really need a test of both the Hankook iON EVO AS and the summer version on an EV. I am running 235/45/18 Hankook iON EVO AS tires on my 2022 Model 3 Performance and the efficiency on my daily commute is simply astounding when speeds are at a 60 mph average. As speeds increase the wind resistance becomes the only factor that matters. However, there is road construction on my commute so speeds are limited and that is where the Hankook efficiency advantage shines. I can easily do 220 wh/mi or less with a 50-60 mph average speed. I also drag race my Model 3 Performance on all season tires and I have seen almost no performance loss at all over the Pirelli PZ4 and Michelin PS4S tires I had before. This is only straight line acceleration so the tires don’t matter as much with AWD but these tires seem to do just fine at the Dragstrip. On a road course is where I would expect them to lag behind the better summer tires. That is why we definitely need to see you test them. If you need any help with acquiring the EV or the tires or anything let me know. I would be happy to help.

Hi! Love your tests. Would be intersting to test same tyre brand and model but different tyre size to see behavior change. Exemple 225/35/20 vs 225/40/19 vs 225/45/18 vs 225/50/17 vs 225/55/16.

When you do your next UHP all season test, I would love to hear your thoughts on the Firestone Firehawk AS V2. I *had* michelin pas4 on my car, but got a flat that was irreparable, and the only option the tire shop had was the firestones. So far, they don't seem terrible, but I do miss my michelins.

@@tyrereviews If I may shorten your conclusion: Nothing has changed since the last video. And I've watched them all. As always, I will trust your conclusion and will have the Conti Premium Contact 7 fitted to an Audi A5 Cabrio. That worked brilliantly when I last bought my summer wheels around 2014? (Conti PC 5) and winter wheels in 2023. I probably wouldn't have been able to tell the difference as well as you did anyway, but buying the best for yourself gives a better feeling. And I'm very grateful to you for that!

You want to hear about the Bridgestone Potenza Sport AS. I was stupid enough to put these tires on a 2024 Kia Carnival. My goal was to have better rain tires that don't cost a arm and a leg. It's a little louder compared to OE tire but better than what I was expecting. Kids didn't complain. It's bumpier on some roads and smoother on others. The van listens to me now. It goes where I want it to go. Responsive steering. On the rain, it seems to deliver(Cannot tell if it's better that other tires). Tried in big rain on highway but cannot tell where the limit was. Other cars were too slow. The van didn't go sideways like OE tires.

Currently running the Falken AT4W. Had them for 4 months and I have logged a little over 12k miles on them, I work as a contractor and travel a lot. Pros: Great tire on road and off, I live out in the country and they work great off the pavement. Snow and wet performance are amazing. Ride comfort is pretty good. Quite quiet on the highway too. Cons: These tires are heavy, I can immediately tell the steering was more sluggish right after I have them mounted. A small hit of mpg compared to other AT tires. I also see signs of dry rot despite only have them on for 4 months. Manufacture date is 42 week of 2023. Overall, an amazing tire. But I do find myself wanting a more road biased AT tires.

Love your channel. Maybe you have done it already but I couldn’t see it. Could you please do a performance tire review for EV’s ? Currently the Eco or low rolling resistance EV tires result in poor grip and handling. Surely there is a better compromise between energy efficiency and grip/handling ?

@Cartier_specialist 2 ай бұрын

While these tires aren't brand new for 2024 I can give you good feedback on them for almost 2 years real world driving. The Pirelli P7 Cinturato All Season Plus 2. They are very smooth and quiet running and the air pressure doesn't change much unlike my previous Michelin Primacy MXV4 that always required a trip to the air station any time the weather suddenly changed. As far as I can tell the performance is equal to the Michelin Primacy but they run much smoother and much more quiet. The longterm durability is the only thing left to determine. The Primacy might have been slightly better on wet roads but it's only a marginal difference if any.

I'd really like it if you could do a comparison of the cheaper alernatives for road legal track day tyres. For example the federal 595rs-rr and nankang and other equivalents. What im looking for are tyres which handle and respond to tyre pressures and setup like cup 2s or slicks. I dont mind if they are a few seconds a lap slower, all i need is for them to realistically simulate better tyres. Im also an HPDE instructor so this will help there too. Second idea, what about doing a fwd, rwd and awd comparison showing how the driven wheels impact tyre choice and selection. Is it one tyre is good for all applicztions, or should we be tailoring tyres to transmission types. Anyway, love your work!

Can't wait for reviews on A/T4W (standard load) vs KO3 (Load C), if possible in size 285/70R17. Atleast on specs they have become very heavy which probably move out of my list. For my 4Runners 50-51lbs is about the max I like to go with stock gearing. One of the biggest reason I went with Toyo OC AT3 at 47 lbs. Snow performance was decent but not good as GY Wrangler Duratrac I had before.
