Not every driver has the same priorities. Adjust the category weightings above to re-rank the tyres based on what matters most to your driving style.
Scores are colour-coded from red (weakest) through yellow to green (strongest) to help you quickly spot each tyre's strengths and weaknesses.
The original test ranking is shown in the # column. Arrows indicate how each tyre moves when your custom weighting is applied.
Hi. You say "the updated Vorti stands for comfort over dynamics." Is it the Vredestein Vorti Plus tested here, or an updated version of the old Vorti? A bit confusing, as EVO's test of Vorti from 2020 (same year) complained about low comfort. Could you please help clarify?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Morgan
This wasn't my test so I only know what they printed.
Fully understand!!
What 19" UHP tyres would you recommend for max. comfort, i.e. ride refinement and low cabin noise? Good handling and safety sure is a must, but I don't take the car to the race track. Michelin PS4, I assume? And think also Falken FK510 in that size? Any other suggestions?
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 is also a great balanced tyre!
Thank you very much!
Hello tyre reviews, first congrats for your site it was really difficult before to have data’s on tyres so many thanks ?. I wrote to you because I m a bit loss with all possibilities of tyres we have, I bought an audi S3 8v 300hp with Michelin primacy 4 (225/40/R18/92/Y)and I want to change my tyres for something with a lot of sporty feeling but keeping safety on road in wet conditions. I hesitate between Michelin pilot sport 4 (4s is not available in ??) Goodyear eagle F1 supersport or asymmetric 5 so my question is what tyre you could recommend for a sporty feeling on Road ( I never go in racetrack but I like sport steering feel) ? I wish you all the best to continue your reviews ?
Thank you for the kind words. In this case I would go for the f1 supersport or continental PremiumContact 6 as this is a surprisingly sporty feeling tyre in 18"
Many thanks for your reactivity ?
What a nice test to see what you potentially sacrifice by going to a more sporty tyre!
It is easy to get excited by the promises of extra grip and handling with uuhp or road legal trackday tyres, yet half the time the conditions on the road aren't suite to get them in their sweet spot. It is the equivalent of running a nordic winter tyre on mostly clear roads...
Hello from Slovakia. I really like your website, I'm looking for summer tyre for my VW Golf GTI mk5 (225/45 R17), what will be used approximately 90% on road and 10% on track. Could you advice me some tyre to 100€, please? Most I like Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5, but I'm also considering about Michelin Pilot Sport 4, Continental PremiumContact 6 and Nankang NS-2R. With Nankang NS-2R I affraid of driving on wet road and noise level.
Forget Nankang, it doesn't have the wet grip of the others. As for the other three, they're all amazing, so buy whatever you prefer. One caveat is that I have seen the Conti wear very quickly on track. I really like the Goodyear for mixed road/track
Thank you.
Great test, the only bother of me is where for "Vredestein Ultrac Worty" a comment like this: "lower grip levels in the wet" when the results in the table indicate otherwise! '
6th in wet braking and 5th in wet handling means the tyre does have lower levels of wet grip than the best in its category. The wet braking was 3.4 meters behind the winner, which is a very large gap.
Hey, waiting for the 2020 best summer tyres video so badly. When will it be live? Thanks!
Sadly covid-19 has stopped all filming in the UK so I'm not sure when I'll be able to do this. Looking at options now.
