Sorry there's no Pilot Sport 5 or Asymmetric 6 in this test, it's the wrong category of tire, and due to how weather works this was tested in October 2021, before the tires were released. I should have a full test with the new Goodyear and Michelin before the end of March!
In this tyre test, we'll be testing ten of the most popular ultra-ultra high performance summer tires on the market to find out exactly what tyre is best at what.
You might be wondering why this test is out so early in the year? There's a new tyre on the market, the Continental SportContact 7, and I really wanted to be the first person to test it!
To find out how good the new Continental is, I'll be putting it against some stiff competition:
Bridgestone Potenza Sport
Continental SportContact 7
Federal Evolution ST-1
Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport
Kumho Ecsta PS71
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S
Nankang Sportnex AS-2+
Toyo Proxes Sport A
Vredestein Ultrac Vorti+
And the cheapest set of tyres we could buy online for this Supra, which is a mix of Star Performer for the front axle and Goodride for the wider rear!
Full information on all the tyres in this test can be found on tire-reviews.com
As always, I'm going to deep dive into all the performance qualities of the tyres, and given the class of tyre, really focus on driving dynamics and enjoyment, so by the end of the test we'll know whether the new Continental really has moved the game on, or whether one of the established tyres can remain triumphant!
The tire test sizes are 255/35 R19 front axle and 275/35 R19 rear axle.
Any questions please feel free to ask below.
