In today's video we're testing seven leading ultra high-performance all-season tires on the market in 2023.
The contenders include the Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 PLUS, Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3, Falken Azenis FK460 AS, Atlas Force UHP, Vredestein Hypertrack All Season, General G Max AS 05, and BFGoodrich g Force COMP 2 A/S Plus. Each of these tires have their unique strengths, but how do they fare when put head-to-head in a series of rigorous testing?
First, we examine the dry performance of these tires, focusing on dry braking and handling. We aim to understand how they respond to aggressive maneuvers, sudden stops, and how their behavior changes as they reach the limit of their grip. Are they predictable? Do they inspire confidence?
Then we dive into the wet performance, evaluating their wet braking and handling capabilities. Given that these are UHP all-season tires, it's important to consider their performance in wet conditions, where many drivers feel less confident. How do they handle standing water? Do they maintain grip when pushed to the limit?
Comfort and noise are often overlooked aspects of tire performance. We subjectively rate each tire for ride comfort and noise levels. A tire that's comfortable and quiet can dramatically improve your overall driving experience, especially on long journeys.
In addition, we take into account the manufacturer's treadwear warranty and the price of each tire. A long warranty and a reasonable price are indicators of the tire's durability and value for money.

![Are Modern Runflat Tires Finally Good? Normal, RFT and SEAL Tires Compared!
Runflat [RFT] tires have a bad reputation for low levels of comfort, being noisy, and poor grip especially in the wet. But how much of this is down to the fact the tire is a run flat tyre, and how much of it is down to it just being a bad tire?
To find out Im testing a normal regular car tire against a fourth generation runflat tire with exactly the same compound and tread pattern. This means the the only difference is that the runflat tire has the extra support in the sidewall.
Runflat tires are called different things by various manufacturers:
Hankook: Hankook Runflat System - HRS
Goodyear / Dunlop: RunOnFlat - RoF
Michelin: Zero Pressure - ZP
Bridgestone: DriveGuard
Continental: Self Sealing Reifen - SSR
Pirelli: Run Flat - R F
To make things even more interesting, Ive included a sealant tire, which is a normal tire with a complicated sealant material bonded to the inside which seals any small punctures the tire might get in the tread pattern.
As always Im testing the dry and wet grip of the three types of tires, and perhaps even more importantly, doing extensive noise and comfort testing to see if a modern run flat tyre is now more comfortable than the earlier versions.
I also test whether a sealant tire really can be punctured multiple times, and I test whether you really can run on a runflat tire for 80 kms at 80 km/h.
The tire used in this test is the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 all season tire - https://www.tyrereviews.com/Tyre/Hankook/Kinergy-4S2.htm
