I was surprised at the winner. There hasn't been any conversation about them round here.

Conti sport 3's followed by hankooks, then the goodyears in 3rd. :surprised:

No! As I stated, that link is to last years test - the Pirelli PZero wins this years.
-
Carrera was running them on his pirelli before he sold it, I remember him explaining at a JKM day about why he went for them and iirc he was impressed with them
-
what was the winning order in the end?
-
All 17 inch
1st to last
Pirelli PZero
Goodyear F1 AS2
Michelin PS3
Cont SC 5
Bridgestone Pot S001
Dunlop Sport Maxx RT
Hankook Ventus S1 Evo
Vredestrein Ultrac Vorti
Kumho Ecsta LE Sport
Nexen N800
top 4 quite close
Im not convinced to be honest and wonder if EVO are totally unbiased these days.
PZero surprises me. Rest I can believe as Ive ran PS3 and SC5 and they are good. Goodyear gets excellent reviews time after time.

cheers pal.
It'll take a pretty good tyre to tempt me from changing the federal 595RS-R i have. Awesome tyre

Especially as Harry was at the Pirelli factory making tyres for his Lambo... :wink:

I have recently fitted P-Zero's to my Pirelli and I've yet to make them loose traction in the dry. They seem a very capable tyre to me!

Are those the track ones ?

Why test in 17's only. Most performance cars these days comes with 19/20's
Should have done two tests.
The best tyres for 19's are completely different to those for 17's

What's good in the world of 19/20" tyres then?
-
Michelin supersports and dunlop sportmaxx race are pretty much head and shoulders above everything else.
-
Anyone had or have the Goodyear Ultra Grip Performance 2 winter tyres? Seem to come out well in the reviews on that website. Like my Goodyear F1 2's a lot so was thinking to keep it all in the family. This will be my first time having winter tyres so no previous experience.
:happy2:
-
I also have the PZero s fitted to my stage 1 Pirelli and have never lost traction in the dry above 2nd gear. Highly recommend them but they do wear pretty quickly
