These are the BEST UUHP TIRES you can buy for your car in 2022/23!

Link to full tire test results, including rolling resistance, noise and comfort:

Sorry there's no Pilot Sport 5 or Asymmetric 6 in this test, it's the wrong category of tire, and due to how weather works this was tested in October 2021, before the tires were released. I should have a full test with the new Goodyear and Michelin before the end of March!

In this tyre test, we'll be testing ten of the most popular ultra-ultra high performance summer tires on the market to find out exactly what tyre is best at what.

You might be wondering why this test is out so early in the year? There's a new tyre on the market, the Continental SportContact 7, and I really wanted to be the first person to test it!

To find out how good the new Continental is, I'll be putting it against some stiff competition:

Bridgestone Potenza Sport
Continental SportContact 7
Federal Evolution ST-1
Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport
Kumho Ecsta PS71
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S
Nankang Sportnex AS-2+
Toyo Proxes Sport A
Vredestein Ultrac Vorti+

And the cheapest set of tyres we could buy online for this Supra, which is a mix of Star Performer for the front axle and Goodride for the wider rear!

As always, I'm going to deep dive into all the performance qualities of the tyres, and given the class of tyre, really focus on driving dynamics and enjoyment, so by the end of the test we'll know whether the new Continental really has moved the game on, or whether one of the established tyres can remain triumphant!

The tire test sizes are 255/35 R19 front axle and 275/35 R19 rear axle.

Any questions please feel free to ask below.

Keep an eye on for updates on the PS5 vs Asym 6 test at the end of March :D

The BMW Supra didn't dissapoint, but the Toyota Z4 was also a blast.

Impressed with the SportContact 7, Continental was really disappointing a decade ago and while they've been getting more and more competitive, especially the SportContact line, I didn't expect to see a big step from them. And as someone who once did trackdays on road tires, I appreciate you making it very clear what the Goodyear is and isn't good for. As always, one of the most informative and well-produced channels on youtube!

"If I haven't mentioned it, this Toyota z4 is actually a lot of fun." - this comment is savage! 🤣🤣🤣

[howarddavies]

These reviews are ace. Editing, format, structure, presentation, length, content, insight are bang on. Even leaving the full on specs on the website is a cracking choice. It would be very easy to make a 20 minute snooze fest with this subject matter.

Also, it has to be said, there must be a hell of a lot of work that goes in to these!

[southwell]

You are A real man of his word.
We speak about the ST1 months ago and you have done it.
Thank you

Thanks for another unbiased, comprehensive review on a market that is so hard to find anecdotal evidence for. Legend

[garysimpson]

I love watching these uploads and listening to your reviews and I make up my mind what to buy then I look and all the top tyre manufacturers never make them in 17” yes I know it’s old fashioned running 17 but as with most small cars 18’s run terrible compared to 17’s so at the moment I can’t buy any off the top makes which is very annoying, Keep up the great work 👍

[timothybracken]

i love this channel, people dont realize how important tires are but there are tons of car channels on youtube but not everyone mentions TIRES !!!!

[swflguy]

The amount of people in this world who have no clue about what a good tire will do to a cars handling, acceleration, comfort, safety, is mind boggling. People always look at me with two heads when I tell them how much I spend for my tires. Great channel!

[DmitryT]

Great to watch you do this corner dancing and crushing a flood of information with this passion at the same time- completely amusing as always!

[rrshse]

THE most thorough review on the net, period. Love your work!

[xxx_ray]

Continental has been my go to in the last 5 years. They have really improved and the pricing in the US has been very competitive for the features.

[ervanngaraffa]

Thanks a lot for all your work !
Please include Yokohama A052 in your future extreme performance tyre tests ! Would love to know how it compares to Contis, Michelins and Goodyears

[charlesshamseldin]

This is one of my absolute favorite channels on YT and I pore over every observation you make about the current crop you are reviewing.
You also deserve way more subs, so keep up the great work.

Really cool shot with the drone at 6 minutes with the water trails behind the car asymmetrically showing which tire is gripping as the car leans on the turns. Well done!

I've never clicked so fast to watch a vid !! Love this tire test Jonathan !!! Greetings from Barcelona :)

[Dustin]

Fantastic review as always my man.
What would be interesting is if you can measure wear on the tyres, and life expectancy. I was always under the impression the continentals wore out fairly quickly, and Michelins had a (in the USA) guarantee on mileage. These tyres cost big money, and that's a reasonable consideration.

[MickehPuppeh]

I love how consistently you called it a Z4. Got a good chuckle outta me.

[Billybobzzz]

Well done! Thanks for being here for us!
