“I switched out my 20” good year’s that came with the car for a set of continental premium contact 6 POL a month ago before a vacation trip. They were excellent in heavy rain. Can recommend. EX30 2024 TM Ultra.”
“In the case of summer tyres nope at the part of the market things haven't changed THAT MUCH... But there are now better tyres, smoother, quieter better handling..the Conti Premium Contact 6 on my cars was a noticeable improvement.. Price can be a major variable..not sure how they price out.. Assy 6 and PS5s are both in the same space as the Conti Premium 6.. Again had Assy 5 and it was a very good tyre..the Assy 6 is even better.. Each turn of the design just keeps getting better..the R+Ts are just old designs..things have moved on..BUT NOT THAT MUCH!”
“Pirelli PZero PZ5 too stiff for my like, Continental PremiumContact 6 too soft... I had some cheap 225/45/18 tyres for my older 3.0L RWD car with a quite stiff sport suspension. Replaced them with 225/40/18 Pirelli PZero PZ5. I realized these had a 5 % smaller sidewall, but 225/40 is the basic size. These were way too stiff for me! Roads here have plenty of imperfections and the bumps were giving me a headache. I managed to sell the old PZ5 for a good price and replaced them with Continental PremiumContact 6s, now with larger sidewall 225/45/18. It's alright, but there's definitely less road feedback than PZ5s. So I'm not really that happy with either. What would have been the best compromise between PZ5 and PC6? Goodyear Assymetric 6? Or maybe my fault was going for 40 % sidewall, PZ5 with 45 may had been suitable? It's just that the 45s cost way much more as a more rare size. Read more”

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
