The link to the Tyre Reviews website with the full tyre test data: www.tyrereviews.com/Article/2...
Do you want what tyre is best for every day, real world driving? In this test we take eleven of the very best 205/55 R16 tyres on the market, plus a well regarded budget tyre, to see exactly what tyre performs best in the dry, wet, comfort, noise and rolling resistance tests!
It's the Tyre Reviews long overdue, 16" tyre test! The 16" tyres is the most popular size in the world, and is fitted to a large percentage of "daily" cars, so this test will hopefully be relevant to a large number of drivers!
In this test we have twelve of the most popular tyres on the market, including the multiple test winning Continental PremiumContact 6 and Michelin Primacy 4, going up against the new Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2, Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2, Uniroyal RainSport 5 and BFGoodrich Advantage, with the usual tyres from Falken ze310 ecorun, Nokian wetproof, Bridgestone turanza t005, Maxxis hp5, Hankook ventus prime 3 and Goodride RP28.
All twelve tyres will be tested in dry and wet handling, dry and wet braking, aquaplaning, internal cabin noise and fuel use, and have subjective grades given to their dry and wet handling, and most importantly for this type of tyre, their comfort levels.
The overall score will be weighted as 35% dry (35% lap time, 10% subjective, 55% braking), 50% wet (35% lap time, 5% subjective, 55% braking, 5% aquaplaning), 7.5% NVH (50% internal noise, 50% comfort) and 7.5% value (80% rolling resistance, 20% price), however if you prefer qualities such as subjective dry handling over wet braking, all the data will be below to allow you to make your own purchase decision.
As always, any questions, please ask below!

Hey all. I realise this much data is a lot to take in, and can only be told in one way. I've tried to be as open and honest as possible with how these tests are scored, but if you want more information I really suggest using the article on the website to make your own buying choice based on the data:
www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Article/2020-Tyre-Reviews-Ultimate-Summer-Tyre-Test.htm
There's also loads of other tests on the Tyre Reviews website, and user reviews, so you can make the right choice for your own priorities based on multiple information sources :)
It's great info but I'm interested in how new tires are when they are worn 15 to 20000 miles. Brand new tires are mostly always pretty good
I think you have picked the wrong car for the test. I say that because there is so little difference between these tires. Perhaps in the future the heaviest and most powerful that uses that size...
@@dazaspc good point. Weight and power matter a lot. But if it's a test for European cars it's okay. This is a standard weight
I think you timed the video completely wrong.
It's the middle of summer, most people already bought summer tires if they needed them.
Now is the time for all-season or winter tyres. Or high-performance ones. Or some fun stuff.
Other than that, good video.
It's really hard to understand your voice. English isn't my leagngue and i have problem to hear what you actually speaking :/
This is a RIDICULOUS amount of work. The fact that you were able to condense it down so well is amazing.
Thank you :)
After 40+ years of obsessive reading about everything automotive this is THE ONLY UA-cam chanel that is really serious about the subject and I highly enjoy and recommend it. About the test:
GoodYear will last longer and is cheaper per km(mile),so it's my favorit.
Excellent job mate.
P.S. All you jerks trying to do a "car test" on YT,take notice. Driving your neighbour's car around the block or parking lot IS NOT A
CAR TEST.
If you watch my video and check out the quality tires on my truck. I bag on trucks in the mountains on my channel. Just wanna make some people laugh.
it was a nice test with some interesting results but cant be taken seriously, see my post above
For a long time You have been the best source of tyres' info.
they are unmatched. Literally. There is no one else who does this.
Probably the most comprehensive and time consuming testing/experiment of all. Kudos to the team!
Yes, this guy is legit!
@@patrik2259 except he's driving on goodyear's track and he's sponsored by them. so expect biased results. If you noticed goodyear tire is at the top in every benchmark. but is it really? I don't think so.
@@korencek I have had 16 cars and all came with different tires. Continental, Michelin, most of the times. I have purchase sets of Falcon, BF Goodrich, Michelin, and Goodyears....all types of Goodyears. In my opinion they are awesome and do the best job for my driving and last longer. On my Son´s car.....I purchased a set of Goodyears to make sure he is safe in all conditions from personal experience. This is my honest opinion as it is my Son and I want hime to be as safe as possible at high speeds. GoodYear has been in my life for 30 years and I really trust them. Today I purchased a set of Continental Premium Contact 6 for myself. I need to test to see if it is as reliable on response and predicting handling as ALL the Good year tires I have used through the Years. Eagle NCT, NCT1,NCT2,NCT3 and EFFICIENTGRIP PERFORMANCE 2...the last ones I added to my Sons Honda CRX Vtec. I trust them so really do not think it is publicity...they are very good and I respect the tires with my Son´s life.
man, your contribution to savvy consumers is immense. thank you so much for putting in the effort and for helping us make sense of the technical and wide world of tyres!
I appreciate that!
Thank you again for the most interesting tyre tests on youtube.
Most interesting, and only! :D
This is the only UA-cam channel that I actually clicked the notification bell on. Your delivery is literally the perfect mix of honesty, humility, and expertise in the field. Hats off to Goodyear for the use of the track. That alone says a lot about the confidence they have in their own product. That impresses me more than a .02 second advantage in a lap time.
Thank you sir, and a great way of looking at the fact it was hosted by one of the companies in the test!
The more cynical way of thinking about it is that they might have a tyre better optimised for their test track.
This is a fantastic test. Thank you for being the most solid "Go-To" tire channel on YT. Your professionalism and presentation of the data is top-notch.
I'm sure this project was exhausting, but very well done, sir.
Keep it up,
Luis
Thank you :) I think I might also be the only tyre channel on youtube?
@@tyrereviews I wouldn't doubt that at all. Your channel is certainly the only one I refer my friends to!
What a helpful test! So much work, glad you made it through that massive project!
We own a tyre Shop in İstanbul and we added hankook tyres to the mix after you explained how they are a premium brand from now on. You actually steer my work to the right direction. Thank you.
You found out about Hankook just now ?
@@dan_6915 Well in Turkey people tend to go for more known brands like Bridgestone and Goodyear. (Both have factories here.)It is risky buying korean products cause you cant sell. That what i meant.
Hayırlı işler dilerim. Biz de lastik bayisiyiz. Gerçekten bu testler satış esnasında da müşteriye bilgi verme anlamında da işe yarıyor. Ama testte gördüğüm hata şu: PremiumContact6 nın direk rakibi Pilot Sport 4 tür. Bu testte olması gereken Continental modeli bence EcoContact6 idi.
Selamlar
@@tugrulacar5155 Belki PS4 e bu ebatta ulaşamadıklarındandır veya fiyat aralığı çok uçmasın diye eklememiştir farz ediyorum.
Contide ise modeller arası farkları bilmiyorum doğrusu 😅
Sizede hayırlı işler
@@tugrulacar5155 Benim bildigim Pilot Sport4'un rakibi SportContact6?
Just bought a car and spoted this video, im grateful of this time and age that we have this support!
Great stuff! The world needs this kind of tyre testing! There’s so little of it, and consumers have very little guidance. Up with comprehensive comparative testing of everyday tyres! I especially appreciate the comfort and noise testing! Awesome noise testing setup! Thanks for your efforts!
Thank you :)
Thank you so much for such a thorough test and for testing things that aren't normally done well, like comfort and INTERNAL noise!
Terrific review! Your choice of Falken in top three bolstered my trust in your judgement. I noticed that Falken was always in the top five in EVERY test whereas others dropped out( except subjective comfort) thx for this info! Well done.
Thanks Jonathan for putting the effort in to this for us .
Obviously some of us know how slight pressure changes dramatically effect tyre behaviour and feel, and the effect of ambient /surface temperatures . Great video.
You are really my only trusted website/channel for tyres.
This is literally the only channel illustrates these data, testings and comparisons.
Thanks a lot.
Thank you very much!
Your content is simply a tremendous joy to watch.
True expert. So much extremely useful information, as usual.
Thank you very much!
I like and follow Tyre Reviews and I always look on your website when I make my purchase. I'd love to see such a deep comparison for SUV tires and I don't mean off-road tires. SUV's are some of the most often car type on the road now and I became fan of in the last years. Great job!
Definitely something I'm trying to do in the future :)
Simply a great reviewer. So dedicated and rigorous, and so enthusiastic about what you do. Keep it up, it’s a joy watching your reviews :)
Fantastically informative video and I now feel even happier having just forked out for 4 x Maxxis Premitra 5 on my V70. I remember going from a set of Goodyear Eagle to Maxxis Sport on a Mondeo ST24 and the difference was unreal. It would lift the inner rear before it would understeer. Their wet weather grip was outstanding too.
I love the quality of these videos! They're very useful, you cover absolutely everything and leave no questions unanswered! Keep it up, hopefully the channel continues to grow!
Glad you like them!
Respect at you, the effort, and Goodyear for letting you use their test facility!
Thank you!
This is a service. Seriously.
Every time I need to buy tires you are my second stop. First I check out my local shops websites to see what is available, then I read your site and watch your videos to see which tire is for me!!!
Thank you
Glad to help
Cheers for all the info! It was good how unbiased you were and showed the pros of each tire! Thankful to know that the Falkner tyres I bought today made top 3
thanks for the great effort producing this informative content. this channel is underrated!
I appreciate that!
Thanks for the hard work and really detailed video! I'm currently on my Premium Contact 5 for the fourth season, next year I'm getting the Premium Contact 6. 😊
Let me know how you find them :)
You are the best! Love ALL your videos. Simply brilliant. Thank you. I also appreciate that you do “normal” tires like this video and true performance testing (Cup 2’s, etc). Thank you. Keep up the great work!
My pleasure!
Again a great video. I love your channel. My girlfriend's car has the Falken ZE310 ecorun. I was pretty impressed by this tires but I wasn't expecting them to be ranked so well.
This was a really helpful review for a category that doesn't get much love
You are the best! The only serious tyre reviews! You are great my friend. Keep up your awesome work...
Thanks dude :)
I was not expecting that for an outcome, very interesting, good to see the smaller less well known manufacturers bringing something decent to the table
Amazing review comparison, thank you!
Thanks for doing all that hard work and presenting the results in such an interesting video. These videos are really valuable.
Thank you very much!
It would be genuinely interesting to see a comparison between a company's sports tyre and their everyday tyre where they overlap in sizes - eg Primacy 4 vs PS4 in 225/45/17 - or Efficient grip vs Eagle. We could see the performance advantage and also what the trade offs are.
Was going to write something similar. For most people I imagine performance tires aren't needed.
Also the Falken FK510/FK520 vs the Falken ZE310/ZE914
this
He did a video already with this subject
@@Gave-rf1hr Yes - but when I made my comment (over a year ago) he hadn't :)
Perfect time for this video! Thank you :)
I learned so much about tyres from this channel and I am very thankful for that. I bought Nokian Wetproof tyres for my w211 3.2cdi since I got them with huge discount. Previously I had Hankook ventus prime tyres and I was pretty happy with them on dry surface but they were not very good on very rainy days.
Respect for the solid review! ✅
Appreciate that
Another fantastic review. Well done! Idea: Take a favourite tire in the next category up (already reviewed) just to compare to the next level up. Pip pip!
This is an awesome work compiling this data in one review... Nice work and thanks for sharing
Best ever. Glad I found your channel.
Bought the Goodyears based on this review (as they're £15 cheaper per tyre than the Contis on my car) and am really pleased with them. Much better than the Pirelli Cinturanos it was on before. Tt'll be interesting to see how they wear. Thanks for an excellent video!
Glad you like them, stick a review on the site sometime please :)
Falkens have always been a go-to for me. Never had a bad tyre from them personally.
The only one I look upwards at from there are Yoko's, but not tested here. Would have been interested to see their position!
Great video. Well produced. 😊👍
I really enjoy these videos, the ultimate Tyre channel.
Glad you like them!
Bro, I love your videos. I'm kind of a nerd and I love how you list all the data and how thorough your analysis are. I also really like that you take the time to section and order the whole video. Thanks a lot for the information and the good work!
I appreciate that fellow tyre nerd :D
Hello from Athens.
A great video. Well done!!!!
Thank you!
Great work and thanks to Goodyear for hosting this.
Hopefully we see Nexen in the next one...
lol
THIS is the test I’ve been waiting forrrr! Thanks!!! Great great job.
Thank you!
What I love about your vids is how objective you are. Even when not the winner, you say what you felt. For example with michelin, even not the best of the best and pricey, I ended getting them and what I instantly felt is just what you told us here; if you look for comfort in your daily ride, they are the best, and for me that is the main thing as for all the km they will last in my everyday ride I want the best comfort!
Glad you're enjoying your selection :)
I replaced my tyres two weeks ago! I'm glad my choice was Goodyear Efficientgrip Performance 2, based on TUV test and my experience with the previous gen.
Thanks for your amazing work.
44kenz - good that you took the plunge as an early adopter. Always a bit uncertain when there are very few tests of a new tyre
Good choice! Make sure to leave a review when you have the time :)
I am stuck between Hankook k435 kinergy ECO 2 and Bridgestone Turanza. It really depends on if I have the money I would definitely get the Bridgestone's.
Александър Иванов Bridgestone over Hankook always.
This just proved my feelings that Falken are really really good! I have Conti SC5 at the front on my Swift Sport and Falken at the back and I can't get them to lose grip, no way for lift-off oversteer, even when trail braking. Same model as in your test, just in 195/45R17
Well think about it, your car is an underpowered front wheel drive vehicle. How exactly did you believe you could make the rear ends lose grip?
Really great job guys 👍 You save from us so much time searching for the best tyre solution. Great full review and really helpful 😀
You are putting so much effort in your videos I appreciate it. I was looking for a tyre review like this one. Big thanks and keep up the good work, cheers.
Thanks a ton
Man, your tests and particularly subjective details that you bring up are on a totally different level to any known tyre testers including all governmental agencies (like golden standard ADAC, etc.).
Really head and shoulders the best tyre review media (not only channel).
You deserve much more attention for your splendid content.
That's really kind, thank you! I still think Auto Bild and Sport Auto do a better job, but i'm learning as quickly as possible
It's amazing how many people haven't heard of Falken. They really are excellent tyres!
Your having a laugh! I've got 4 falkens on at moment 10 months old and they are being changed before christmas, No grip whatsoever to a point they are dangerous in the snow, Changing to primacy e and I only drive a skoda 1.0 tsi hat hatchback, Folk out there steer clear of falkens reviews do not tell all the story, Keep safe.
@@tonyrobinson362 You're driving summer tires in snow and complaining about the grip?
Michelin fuel savers are good all round will be fitting them shortly if I can find any.
Wow, thanks so much for your in dept and diligence testing these.
On my 2012 Mondeo diesel i had some old Kumho tires and just swapped for UniRoyal Rainsport 5, same dimensions as tested.
We live in Ireland and have on average every 2nd day rain and i prefer comfort, rain handling and good value.
Clear winner for me especially for your average comfort driver with some little nippiness here and there.
Thanks again!
Great to hear!
GREAT JOB Johnatan!Outstanding tyre test!Thank You very much for this video!cheers!
Glad you liked it!
Have 18" falkens on my passat. Fantastic imo
Wow, i am really suprised that Hankook wasn't so good in test but the test also convinced me that i should choose between Conti and Falken as my new set of summer tyres
Great test, good job :)
Let me know what you decide!
See details on these Falkens in my comment below this test. Regards
Been in the tyre business for about a decade and I cant believe I just found your channel this week...love the content (there is not enough of this anywhere), you seen fair and videos are easy to understand and enjoyable 👍🏻
Glad you found it :)
Great video as always! Really good for picking something up for daily cars and best of all, a very detailed and professionally done testing and reporting. Love this channel! Cheers and keep up with the great work!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've used Falkens for a good few years now. The ZE310 performs well above its price point imo. I'll probably get them again as im due now.
Real quality review, love your work.
Brilliant review as always, bags of data and info in an easily absorbed format, but zero bias toward any particular manufacturer. Excellent work, keep it up mate. 😁
Thank you :)
Thank you very much for your effort I bought the Goodyear efficient pp2 17inch, excellent video and keep up the great work!
After this test I'm sure I want Falken tires!
As comprehensive if not better than a good old fashioned print published article but with more personality.
Thanks for the review!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Such a good video! Thank you for all the work running the tests and compiling everything so neatly.
You are so welcome!
Great effort and great job. The very best detailed test I have ever seen. Congrats 🎊
Thank you very much!
Now all we need is 10 worst car tires, test and review. That would be interesting.
why do something dangerous for no reason? just look at the ones in this video that made it to the top
and dont buy anything that isnt in that top list
I propose Camac as the worst tyre brand I've driven. I don't think it exists anymore it was so bad. There is probably the same manufacturer producing camcraps under a different name now.
Falkens all the way, still classed as barely mid range but top of the range performance. Have used them now for the last 8 years. Great noise, economy, feedback and overall performance.
I was thinking about falkens already. Now i use Hankook Ventus Prime 3 and when it was new about 8mm it behaved really well on dry and wet in my opinion, now after 2 years and 23 000 km and 5mm left on them I feel more sliding on high speed corners on dry but without ESP reaction, but comparing new one to 5mm on wet it is turning ESP much quicker. Braking efficiency decreased also, the most on wet with a lot of ABS reaction. In 2018 test it was Tire number One. Now it is not. Maybe it something with rubber mixture compared to its price and time (2 years of driving already). Of course it is not that bad at all but im searching for something else, still looking for my favourite Brand, Hankook is much better than Matadors, CEAT, Paxaro, Debica and SAVA I used. Now I have recognized that Hankook is already a Premium Brand.
I did quite a bit of research. In my case I wasn't very interested in longevity. I ended up buying Ohtsu fp7000's for all-season. Like Falken, they are both in the Sumitomo family.
i had falken fk510 on a corsa very good in the wet, look good too, i would recommend them
Your having a laugh I've falkens on at moment on a skoda 1.0 tsi and they are down right dangerous in slippery conditions stay away from them, I'm changing next week to 4 e primacy,, Stay safe
I doubt that for great noise 😢😢😢
i went with your "recomendations" and bought the Goodyear. A little pricey but man do I not regret it. Thank you for your hard work!
When I buy tires, your website is the first place I check. Thanks a lot for all your effort putting data behind your recommendations. I just wish similar website existed for motorcycle tires.
What a fantastic, informative video. I know it's incredibly difficult and time-consuming to conduct such a test, but I'd love to see a comparison between all-weather tyres.
Coming next month!
Great news!
I would have liked the Kenda Emera A1 to be used as a budget option since it got some pretty good reviews so far.
the best time to drop this review. i was just looking for this category
Hope you enjoy it!
Again just brilliant work. Well done. Thanks
Thank you! Cheers!
Second set of Falkens. Very quite and good braking.
Many thanks for your efforts. I've been running Contis on my last 2 cars and find them excellent in all areas bar noise and comfort (they're certainly not bad, but I do notice the noise, especially on poorer surfaces and the ride can be a bit harsh over rougher roads), so your findings match my experience. I'll definitely try a set of Goodyears when I need new ones.
Let me know how you find them when you make the switch!
Did you make the switch in the end ? Considering the Cont 6's for my C30 ~
Conti*
@@JedMcMullan No. Still plenty of life left in the Contis. They last pretty well.
I love knowing about tyres so much. Learned a lot in this video. Also really happy to have continental on my car 😁.
Bro this test has answered all my nebulous hesitations and misjudgments about tyres in less than 5 minutes! I never expected the Goodyear and the Falken to be so fast, and even less the Falken to be so good at dry braking! And my car is a FWD with probably the same weight class than your Golf so this is golden. Thank you for the huge work. I'm saving this for later... And going for a tire change tomorrow!
Great review as usual, been using Falken for the last 3 years with the Fk510 and now the AS210 and can honestly say that even without being a "premium brand" they are amazing at doing their job. Already had Bridgestone, Michelin and Dunlop fit into my cars, the Falken is cheaper than all of them and does not dissapoint at all. Glad to see them at the top!
Falken is just a more affordable brand made by sumitomo. It’s a premium tire.
It's funny because I never realized falken wasn't considered a premium tire. My wildpeaks were the best tire I've ever had, and never heard complaints for their road tires either. I thought Sumitomo was the budget tire. Had HTR Ziii on a car and they were incredible for peak grip
Well then, my purchase of the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 tyres can be justified. Amazing dry grip and handling (car feels like it's on rails over my previous Japanese tyres, yet to test it in the wet), also there is a significant increase in comfort when going over microbumps in the road as well as noise levels. Plus they are said to run forever, so basically ticking all my boxes when it comes to what I was looking for out of a tyre. Thanks for the review!
Great testing mate. I’m sure a lot of ppl appreciate it!
Wow - superb review Jonathan! One can only imagine the huge amount of hard work that went into making this extremely informative video. Many thanks - I will be a regular subscriber to your channel from now on.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nexen N'blue HD Plus 205/55/16 second year and still prefect
I always watch your videos even though I'll never buy most of the tires and not to mention a bundle of them aren't even available where I live in Canada. But they're definitely the most informative and a great source for a consumer in the market for a new tire.
I hope to be testing in the US soon!
Thanks for your work! Strong advices for my tire choice
Great, credible test again. Thank you.
waiting for allseasons tire test like this one!
Out next month :)
Tyre Reviews would you be able to compare against these tyres? Say top 3 all seasons vs top 3 every day tyres?
Tom , I am not sure it would make sense... it would make more sense to compare them agains top summer tire and top winter tires for reference
Tyre Reviews looking forward to all season test fingers crossed you can get the latest Michelin cross climates...
Allseasons are pretty much useless Not too strong texture for summer (therefore noisy and bad fuel consumption), and not too soft texture for cold winter (therefore no traction, slippery and dangerous).
There's no shortcut with tires.
I don't even remember last time i've seen allseasons in a store, 'cause nobody is buying them. Except maybe single women, that can't be bothered with changing wheels..
Good grief, I was literally minutes away from ordering a set of Hankooks for a mk7 Golf 1.4 in that tyre size when this video was posted! I'm thinking the Falkens in 91V flavour or the Goodyears.
Thanks for the video and all the effort that went into it, it's very helpful :)
Thank you for doing all this hard work.!!!
The video deserves more likes for the amount of work put in. Viewers, it doesn’t hurt to click ‘like’ button. We were all here to get info and we did.
Awesome yet again! 🙂 This almost confirms my experience with a few tyres. My dad had Pirelli Cinturato P7s on his car. Was noisier and less smooth and grippy in the wet. Change to Continental Premium Contact and the difference was startling. It was so smooth and quiet. My mom's car came with Michelin Primacys. It had good wet grip but became noisier the older it got. It did make the car feel very darty though. We replaced it with Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance and it is a quiet tyre with good wet grip but the car does not feel as darty as before and it sometimes makes a weird resonant noise depending on surface. It also looks flat even when it is not. Strange but we all noticed it. It bulges out more.
As an aside, my car has Pirelli P Zeros which I can not wait to get rid of. Wet grip is awful, it is noisy and makes a lot of noises over ridges and bumps, lots of thumping and when the tyres are cold, the rear wheels just go out of control. It may have something to do with the 640nm of torque but when it is hot it grips much better. Not a fan of Pirelli.
Go Michelin Pilot Sport 4, you will not be disappointed. In the 50+ major tyre reviews, its in top 3 or 5 of all the tests. Year after year. I recommend everybody get them. Tyres are the thing that keeps the car on the road. Dont skimp on spending like $100 extra. (its bugger all in grand scheme of things)
@@fredfinks Michelin seems great. Will choose between Michelin, Goodyear and Continental.
I crashed with Pirelli tyres on a wet road.....I'm not a fan either.....
I agree. I feel like I have double the grip and performance on my car, even with the budget General tires, then the hockey-Puck-material Cinturato P7s that came off. Smooth and wet concrete was basically black ice with those deathtraps.
@@FrankieShovels I got just shy of 72,000 miles on the Pirelli P7 Cinturano All Season Plus on my 2014 VW Passat.
Agreed wet grip isn't great. Awareness negates crashes if common sense is used.
Disclaimer. I monitor and maintain the cold tire pressure every couple of weeks, rotate at regular intervals. Of course an excellent wheel alignment by my VW master tech.
Just bought the P7 AS PLUS II. Only a couple of hundred miles. So far so good. Hopefully I'll get great wear and improved wet grip with this new iteration of the P7 Cinturano as plus II.
So far, I'm a Pirelli fan over the many sets of Michelins and Conti's I've had.
Time will tell.
Continental is always top performance and top range price as well, i mean like here in indonesia continental is not as cheap as bridgestone or goodyear or dunlop but the performance is also represented with the price
Wow, lot of excellent work. ! looking forward to more reviews !
Waaaw what a review. thank you so much for this work. I usually suggest the Falken Ze310. Sometimes, it look like it's too cheep to be that good. But, he is a very good tyre. Thank you once again.
I am SO glad Uniroyal has finally joined the pack, I always was curious how would it stack up against the usual suspects.
The rainsport 2 (symmetrical) was great in 15' in its day. The 3...I didn't like them so much
@@gorraksmashskull - I loved the Rainsport1, the groove pattern was mad!
@@spavatch Never tried them
As much as I love the test in general, I can't go past the fact that you took 91H from Michelin, whereas others were 'at least' V. Not much of a difference, however... perhaps significant enough to have a slightly better subjective handling notes. Presumably H and V might have marginal differences in terms of sidewalls or even the thread behaviour. Awesome test - really! Just gave more trouble picking a replacement for my Sport Maxx RT. This time I'm aiming at the comfort and am close on picking one of these tested here. Thinking of Primacy 4 or EGP2 I just bumped on the fact that different indexes were used in the test. Only, tiny little imperfection here :) Thanks for the awesome tests mate! Helped me before with previous sets, helping this year with a new one as well.
In terms of the Michelin, the two versions are the same tyre, so it didn't lose out there :) More data of both tyres on the website, www.tyrereviews.com/Article/2021-ADAC-Summer-Tyre-Test---205-55-R16.htm etc
@@tyrereviews Thanks a mil! I'll take your word and experience on it. If Primacy 4 H and V have no structural differences to affect handling (there is 0,04 kg weight difference between them though), then I know what to expect. Still a bit lost now. Primacy 4 vs Pilot Sport 4 for Ford Focus without any track / sporty aspirations (yet with a bit stiffer, 1-1,5 cm lowered 'sport suspension package'), as this is a second car in the family - more comfort and safe ride oriented. Just the fact that I'm switching from Dunlop Sport Max RT keeps me a bit worried if Primacy won't feel too sluggish for a change (205/55/R16 as tested). And there's EGP2 now as well. And my Dunlops were ridiculously quiet for performance tyres. Even on the label they had 67 dB outside, while no other tyre in this test has that. Primacy 68 dB, EGP2 69 dB, PS4 70 dB.
Maaan it's so hard to pick the universal touring set for weekend hairpins (from the city to the marina) and holiday cruises now :) It's so much easier to decide when one 'plays it dumb' and doesn't have that knowledge that you feed us with here :) The more you learn, the more difficult the choice is.
As always an excellent review. Because of your tests I bought 4 Falken FK510 and I'm loving it. Thank you for your great work.
Glad you like them!
Best tire channel! keep up the great work
