Favorite tire reviews/testing

[vipeboy2000]

Just thought I'd post up my favorite youtube tire reviewer's most recent video about uhp and uuhp tires since it has some excellent data for people thinking of looking at other tires.. if you look back on his video history you will find other tests of tires as well such as uhpas tires, offroad tires, premium etc.

Read the summary on their website: 2021 Tyre Reviews UHP Summer Tyre Test - Tyre Reviews and Tests
Seems a lot like my general feelings, and similar to tirerack reviews.

1. If $$ is no object, best all-around performance for mostly street and some track is Pilot Sport 4 / 4s.
2. Bridgestone makes some good tires. And some not-so-good. The bars-of-soap OEM Potenzas that cost $250+ each on my 2005 Legacy GT soured me on Bridgestone A LOT. They were disgustingly bad in the wet, as in fishtailing as bad/worse than our '79 Dodge RWD. And cost more than Pilot Sports for that car.
3. Falken FK-510 is a good all-around budget option for dry/wet. If you rarely drive in the wet, Firestone Indy 500 seem pretty good as well - not available in the UK, seemingly.
4. If you have specific needs, such as lots of track, lots of wet, etc, you may want to pick something else.
5. You generally get what you pay for, up to a point.

In general, can't go wrong with a Michelin Pilot tire, other than possibly buying more tire than you use / need.

I "deserve a medal." I didn't know that there was a UUHP tire (the PS4S are; well, I'll be swizzled).

Or the ultra mega super performance line, which are bands of rubber cement wrapped around the rims.
