Best test result: #1 of 8 in 2021 Camper Van / SUV Tyre Test (curved aquaplaning)
“2024 J1.1 GTS Sport Turismo on 21" Spyder RS wheels here. Went from Pirelli PZero's to NF1 Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5's recently. They don't seem any louder than the PZero's, dry grip seems about the same, as does comfort. Wet grip and performance in cold conditions (I'm in Scotland, UK) over the PZero's is noticeably better. Very little in the way of the Ackerman effect in cold temperatures, compared to the PZero's which made an awful noise and skipped badly when turning at slow speeds, pulling out of junctions. Will see how they do wear rate wise, PZero's had about 2.5 to 3mm left at 16k miles. Anything approaching that on the ASY5's would be good. Unfortunately on the J1.1 on 21"'s the choice is essentially PZero's or ASY5's. Which is disappointing as I had PS4S's and CSC7's on my previous cars (G81 M3 and M340i Touring) and they were fantastic.”

“I had the conti PC6 on my old F56 JCW running 300bhp/324lb-ft. 17" 215/45 Found them great In the wet, although the sidewalls were rather soggy compared to the previous Michelin Supersport, which admittedly are more of a UHP tyre”

Exceptional wet and dry grip
Precise steering response and high-speed stability
Strong value for money compared to tier-one rivals
Cons
Faster-than-expected tread wear for some aggressive drivers
Notable road noise on coarse or concrete road surfaces

From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of our score
Tire A
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5
Positive
Community members generally view the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 very positively, frequently praising its wet grip, cold weather performance, and steering feel when compared to rivals like Michelin Pilot Sport 4 and Pirelli P Zero. While some users find them exceptionally quiet, others note moderate road noise or low-speed scrubbing on full lock.

Based on 13 community posts
Tire B
Continental PremiumContact 6
Positive
Community feedback for the Continental Premium Contact 6 is largely positive, with drivers consistently praising its strong wet and dry grip, safety, and braking performance. Some users note softer sidewalls compared to dedicated ultra-high-performance tires and express concerns regarding premium pricing or wear rates. Overall, it is viewed as a capable, high-performing summer tire that balances comfort and traction effectively.
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.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
