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.

    I've run PS4 on several cars now and really can't complain about them. On GR86 the OEM set held up to 3 hard track weekends. They are about cooked now at 15,000 miles. The biggest win is that they never had any bad/funny wear patterns, or got significantly louder as they wore or anything like that. This was my experience with some other UHP tires. They are a great summer tire. But the main purpose of this comment is as a test. I haven't been able to post or comment anywhere on the site!

      Glad you got the comment working. Are you also unable to leave a review on the site?

        Thank you for replying! No, I am not able to leave a comment, and I even got an email that I tried sending to [email protected] bounced back to me by the filter policy. Let me know if I get the green light and I will re-send that email with the details on the issues I've been having (unable to verify email for my account, etc)

    Hello,
    Got a set of new Hankook S1 Evo3 based on this test. (Assy6 was not available)
    Do you have any experience how tyre performance change if we change the size? Like 17" ->18". Or 215 -> 225. Or bigger change like 17" -> 20"

      The trends should continue, where it's very close there might be some inversions in the results.

    Hello @TyreReviews:disqus, thank you for all your reviews. For me comfort and noice is most important, but since inside noice does not correlate to external noice, this is hard to judge. I was happy to note the below comment which indicates that the internal noice is measured:

    "External noise testing had no advantage for the foam damped Continental, which was the noisiest outside but the quietest inside the car."

    Would it be possible to include this in future tests?

      I do internal noise testing where it's realistic to do but it's very very time consuming so often not possible sadly

    Hi there - love your content and can't wait for the Michelin PS5 v Goodyear Asymmetric 6 comparison to come out! I have a quick question about whether the new Goodyear Asymmetric 6 or the existing Goodyear SuperSport would be the better tyre for an enthusiastically driven mainstream car (BMW 3 series)? I prioritise accurate and sharp steering but also have to live with the reality of potholes and speed bumps. Tough one I know but basically wondering how the latest and greatest Asymmetric 6 compares to the 'previous gen' tyre from the UUHP segment above i.e. the SuperSport. Any advice much appreciated!

      Good question, and I don't have an answer as I've not driven both. I would probably opt for the Asym 6 at this point for a daily.

    Hi, sorry because I don't want to be that guy... But you always seem to make this typo :

    "quiet sensitive" , it's "quite" :D
