    which tyre would you recommend between the hankook prime 3 and the GY asy 3's? very few tests in which they both feature, and are they a proper alternative to the PC6 and PS4?

          The Prime 3 is testing really well at the moment, as is the new Falken. The Goodyear is an older pattern but still an excellent all round tyre. Difficult choice!

                scince i live in holland, i'll wait for about 1 or 2 months before swapping back over to summer tires. Have to say i'm happy with the conti's TS860 tires i bought because of this site btw

      Are you looking at runflats? If so, the DriveGuard is a very comfortable tyre.

      The more the better :)

      Technically there were 52, but we don't have a couple of them in our database!

      Thanks for the heads up, it was a site cache issue. All sorted now :)

        Still Honda is better than Ford, VW and Mercedes :)

          There's a 24 hour browser side cache on the site, so if you ctrl/command+f5 you should see the corrected page, with the rest of the tyres included too :)
