I got my first red car a few months before last winter and got a little bit of snow and drifting in the snow really gave me the confidence to drift on dry ground
The totally wrong car spec for the tyres tested. Interesting to see the test in, arguably, a typical UK climate for at least half of the year, but these tyres needed at least a car with strong torque and a reasonable hp. This does neither and is therefore almost pointless. I have the assymetric 6's currently, the 5's previously, and the description re the 6's in the wet and cooler conditions is very accurate. Interestingly, the 5's were definitely a little stronger in the dry and when warmer vs the 6's but the 6's are definitely stronger in wet conditions. An obvious and intentional compound adjustment. Both pretty good in cooler conditions, although a pukka awd system certainly helps. I might try the csc7 next!? The pzero I'm assuming is the pz4? I had them on my previous 2017 i30N performance pack- absolutely shite when wet, damp or cooler conditions 😮 I replaced them with ps4s's, certainly a big wet and cold weather improvement (arguably the best uuhp summer tyre in temperatures around 3 to 5 degrees Celsius) but rip off city in 225 40 18 guise, plus poor supply- at least a few years ago! I know they refreshed the pz4's around 2020 but still average back then! Would be interesting to know if this is still called the pz4 and if it's a newer version still? Personally, I think the pz4's are overrated, particularly in uk conditions 😏
We need to be making people more aware of stuff like.this. these are the tyres that every back street and even reputable tyre fitter fit because it's what people can afford yet you are then driving around in an accident waiting to happen.
UHP tyres - and a BMW 118-i what´s wrong here I wonder. (Ultra High Performance - Ultra High? 118i???) That car would be better off with tyres that fit the cars performance.
Shame the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 wasn't included in the comparison. I've got the PS5 on my Leon FR and the PS4 on my Lotus Evora NA. Both old and new generation Pilot Sports have been good. I'm going to be looking for new tyres at the end of next year for the Lotus and wonder whether I should go for the PS4S or change to the Continental. A comparison including Michelin would have been nice.
@@Vermonstered the same reviewer included the PS5 in a similar review last year. In retrospect the reviewer should have included the PS4S, as the PS5 is a more road orientated tyre, with the PS4S better for road and occasional track use. From my own experience though, the PS5's predecessor the PS4, fitted to my Lotus Evora were actually better than the PZero tyres it had on previously. The problem with using the term UHP is that there are sub categories within that grouping, I'd refer to these tyres as possibly UUHP (PS4S/Bridgestone Potenza Sport/ Continental SportContact 7 etc.). .
@@EuropaSman just look up the specs of the tire. Not the same UTOG rating among a bunch of other things. The PS5 is the replacement of the PS4 and not the PS4S. No idea what "more road orientated tyre" means to the real world as none of the pilot sport series isn't a road orientated tire.
Good stuff. I've got the Asymmetric 6 and remember a couple of user reviews saying they performed really well in cold conditions, which helped decide. Agree to re the fairly supple ride and wet performance too. Just a great all-rounder, which they'll all be really.
@@markrhoden68 Truthfully it would of been better then to get the long holding standard in the 4S then until more relevant tests can occur on the S5 comparing it against the 4S.
As far as I understand, the Pilot Sport S5 is an OE tyre and is not a direct replacement for the Pilot Sport 4S. It's believed that the 4S replacement could be called the Pilot Super Sport 5S. Michelin have said that in the meantime the PS4S will continue to be sold.
Stop sponsoring bridgestone "secretly" , iam changing my bridgstone t005 to pirelli cinturato p7 in the comming few days on my mercedes-benz , the bridgstone are slippery as hell , acceleration is very bad the traction is a disaster ...
So the tyres are actually all the same. They are all really good all season tyres. If they have a score of 100 or 96 doesn't matter. If the differens where like 20% or more it would matter for every day driving. Pick the ones you want. I'm left with the question of comparing this 4 tyres with a dedicated winter tyres and give that 100 % from start and then rank the 4 tyres after that. Yes he said that the differens was not big to tested winter tyres but never the less, I would like to have numbers.
Good review, but Kormoran is normally regarded as a budget brand, and therefore it is unfair to include it in a mid-range touring tyre test. The winning Firestone Roadhawk 2 is not listed in this size on the etyres website, only the original Firestone Roadhawk. The Yokohama Advan Sport V107 is also not listed on the etyres website, and seems to be more of a sports tyre than a touring tyre? Other performance areas such as tyre life and fuel efficiency should also be taken into account by potential tyre buyers.
I have Goodyear F1 for summer and Goodyear UltraGrip Performance 3 for the winter - the best choice for my 440i :) I had P Zero's before and they quite needed some temp to get going and for winter the previous owner had some chinese tyres so yeah there was a big difference to the UltraGrip P3
What on earth did I miss? Sutcliffe, an amazing auto journalist, a tyre test with a reasonable budget in both car and tyres, and actual results... This should have tens of thousands of subscribers and likes by this point. Something must be broken.
Good video. As someone else mentioned though the Premium Contact 7 is usually pitched as a UHP tyre, despite the friendly name. That said, lines between categories can be blurred. I've got Asymmetric 6 and they're just great all-rounders. Like a comfortable touring tyre but with more grip and feedback. Can all be tweaked with pressures anyway.
Firestone: bought by Bridgestone, the roadhawk 2 is in fact the bridgestone T-005, the Kormoran is a Michelin made in Poland, GT radial is from Singapore, Hankook is Korean, and Yokohama is Japanese!
I'm on my second set of these on Golf GTI mk7, very happy with them, they work out about £100 less than PS4's for a set of 4. Very good grip in all conditions, they're quite quiet and comfortable considering car is lowered on 19's with no DCC. I got about 2 yrs/16k miles out of the first set. I probably will shell out a bit extra for Michelins next time to compare, but more than happy to run Hankooks for now.
@@branislavhudymac3984 didn't swap them round halfway, fronts were very low, rears had a step of wear on the inside which meant they had to go too. Car driven sensibly 99% of the time
Just fitted Premiumcontact 7. Initial impression and I was slightly disappointed, steering not as sharp as before and a bit more road noise, but ride comfort has improved. However they are now run in and I’ve used them in both dry and wet and I have to say the grip levels are superb especially in the wet.
@@OcaOca it's an BMW original tyre, MO for Mercedes', RO1 for Audi, J for Jaguar, K1 for Ferrari, AMS for aston martin! the primacy 4 has a better grip on the wet!!!
