10 brake stops, avged out with robots applying the brakes. This serious level of geekiness and detail to maximise consistency is top notch. highly highly appreciate this video!!!

The amount of effort this guy puts in testing these tires.. he deserves a million subs unlike that TFL channel who only tests 3 tires of the same brand and calls it a day.😐

Again and again, Jonathan shows what happens when you mix equal parts passion, geekiness and attention to detail: Pure excellence that is easily understood and relatable. He could apply this to anything he wanted to. We are just lucky he feels this way about tires! Bravo on another excellent and informative video!

I don't think too many people would appreciate the insane effort that must go into a video like this. So, thank you for doing it for our enjoyment (and education).

[BrownyCakes]

The sheer amount of testing for one video is beyond impressive. I can't get enough of this channel. Best mod for your car is always tires!

[Tomk]

You really don't get enough recognition or thanks for the sheer amount of time and effort that goes into these tyre reviews. No one else does it quite like you and for people like me who care about the only thing keeping them on the road, it's really appreciated. Keep up the amazing work

This guy deserves to have some major sponsors !

[jamesthomson]

Brilliant! Was procrastinating watching your videos earlier then saw this drop and now I'm getting even less work done. People like me who enjoy driving, even in normal road cars, would be so lost without this channel. Thank you.

There's a legend error on a chart later on in the edit, sorry for these, I was in a big rush to get the edit out on time and having laptop issues, while travelling and doing other testing so things got missed. I'll do better next time.

Lastly, thank you for all the wonderful comments. I'm getting to them :)

[GOINFINITI]

Oh yeah - finally the test we've been waiting for :) Respect for completing such a huge undertaking of organizing and testing everything.

I don't need UHP tyres but I still watched, with interest, til the end.
These videos and the website are a breath of fresh air. Commitment, passion, knowledge and great presenting style.
Excellent, many thanks.

So much information and you make it digestible. I'll hopefully make a choice after my 3rd or 4th watch as I keep changing my mind as I watch.

[Redsquirrel]

Not easy to condense so much information in a format that does not turn into a “death by powerpoint” presentation, and/or a 3 hour long movie. Well done, to the point, and indepent. Scores. 👍 well done ! 👏

[Skyrocket]

Love the weights of the tyres the tyre protection levels and the depths of the threads. Brilliant.

[Yan]

You've published the most comprehensive and complete test on the entire web. I'm very happy to have the access to your reviews. Awesome work!

[xtremehunta]

Have to say im very impressed with the amount of work, value and thought in this video! The data given, the calculations, the different areas covered. Even how much the tyres protect the alloys etc. Amazing!

[JakubNvk]

We deserve a medal for watching? YOU deserve a medal for making this video! Hands down the best tyre channel around..great video mate

[intopicture]

Some surprising results here, and glad to see the PZ4 (guess it's Sports version) and Bridgestone tested by you. Absolutely fantastic content, many thanks for all the efforts! 👍🏻

[unclebanga]

Your the one that deserves the medal. Tyres are soo important for all types of vehicles, so its important to be given a non biased opinon based on testing them in the best possible environment . Nothing is ever perfect, but your reviews are as close as it gets.. Bravo 👏. Legend!

[KCnLex]

Really appreciate the information. For someone who is not going to the track but wants a great performance tire on the street in a myriad of conditions, your tests hit all the major points that make a difference. THANKS!
