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 have PZ4s and they become horrible during cold rainy days. In other tests PZ5 seemed to do well in wet handling but was the opposite in this test. I wonder if this is due to ambient temperature difference in tests?
Interesting article. Could you give some clarity on where you see the border between UHP and UUHP?
I’m interested in the new Pirelli PZ5, Goodyear F1As6, Continental SC7, Michelin PS5. Are these direct competitors i.e. UHP? Or are the PZ5 and SC7 actually UUHP? Some external tests have very unexpected tyre comparisons in my opinion.
I’m looking for a fun tyre which will still be compliant over bad surfaces. Stability and performance on the autobahn important.
It's a thin, confusing line. All of those I'd classify as UHP unless it's the Conti or Pirelli in 19"+ fitment then they're moer UUHP.
But conti also have the PC7 which in 18" is very similar to the SC7 in 18" soooo.
Thanks for the reply. That helps as I’m looking for a set in 225 40 R18. Looking forward to the coming tests- you’re doing great work.
Don't suppose the Bridgestone Potenza Sport Evo is a good recommendation for replacement of Goodyear Eagle F1 6s are they? I have PS4S on my 19inch alloys for the odd track session but my 18inch with goodyears are my everyday wheel.
Looking at some new tyres in the next 7 days as the fronts are on 2mm on my Megane RS so holding off if your video is soon!
Yes, they potentially could be. They're a bit more focused than the Asymmetric 6, but the Evo version should improve the wear issues they had.
Thanks. Took the plunge yesterday https://uploads.disquscdn.c...
I look forward to reading your thoughts!
First test in which I see the Potenza Sport Evo! The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6's on my MX-5 ND are due for replacement and I'm considering the Potenza Sport Evo as the Potenza Sport was considered a lot of fun and according to Bridgestone the weak point of longevity should be addressed. (PZ5 and SC7 not available in 17 inch) Will the Bridgestone Potenza Sport Evo take part in one of your tests this year?

Probably not from me this year, sadly.
