EXCLUSIVE! Michelin Pilot Sport 5 vs Goodyear, Bridgestone, Continental, Hankook, Yokohama & More!

To find out which of these new ultra high performance tires are best, I use a VW Golf GTI wearing 225/45 R17 tires and test the dry, wet, comfort, noise and rolling resistance of nine sets of performance tires, to see if the new PS5 or Asym 6 can retain their crowns, or whether another brand of tire is best.

In the tire test we have nine of the top uhp tires on the market.

Bridgestone Turanza T005
Continental PremiumContact 6
Giti GitiSport S2
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6
Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 3
Michelin Pilot Sport 5
Rotalla S Race SU01
Semperit Speed Life 3
Yokohama Advan Sport V105

This channel is the gold standard when it comes to tyre testing & reviews. Nobody else even comes close.

[ConquerDriving]

These tyre tests are incredibly detailed and appreciated. Thank you!

[JoeAchilles]

Incredible test as usual mate, so much detail, so much honesty, so much Jonathan Benson 🥰👊

I went from Dunlop Sport Maxx rt2 225/45/17 to the new Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric 6 two weeks ago and this tire is fenomenal in the wet and even better in the dry, so well balanced, loads of grip in the corners and great feedback from the road!

EDIT: 7 months later after summer season ended, my conclusion is that this tire is amazing, all around very good performer, very linear and predictable slippage in the corners and performance in the wet is ridiculous!

10/10 would reccommend to anyone!

Also the Goodyear is usually cheaper than the Michelin, another bonus point for the F1 team

As other comments have said and I have before, the level of effort, production quality, and outright professionalism in these tests is second to none. The honest opinions are invaluable and its rare to find these days. I've always thought the ps4 was great but as you have always said, it's numb which is sad to hear the 5 is the same. It's a shame you don't get more exposure for the effort put in, you deserve so much better

I've been waiting for this review! Great information 👊

[janikakis]

This is the one channel that could get away with making longer videos! I love these videos and you are actually making tire reviews more interesting than car reviews on Youtube!

[mickstace]

The level of detail and commitment to objective testing is really appreciated, great work. Disappointed they haven't sharpened the PS5 as that was my main complaint going from the PS3 to the PS4, but I felt it was probably the better tyre all round. If that's the sacrifice they've made to allow it to be the fantastic all rounder it is, then I'll take it. Love being able to drive in the wet like it's dry!

[KhalsaSoulja]

Bought 4 Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tyres because of this channel which are gonna be fitted next Monday.
So a big thank you for all your research and hard work. It's invaluable!

I had the Continentals on my sportscar and they always went a one direction. Jumped to Good Year and the response, the feeling, the straight running is so much better. They are dancing and singing in the curves at 160 kph.... I love them !!!

Thanks for great timing of this review. Just ordered a set of Goodyear Eagle F1s off the back of this video 👍

[ceeceex]

I got no problems with dual winners... different tires for different needs. The strength of your reviews has never been just the rankings, but the process and evaluation of each entry. Helps the buyer understand the tires and what they're buying into.
Boy, did the Goodyear come ever so close to owning the title solely, had it not been the poor hydroplaning performance. I was this close to putting it on the shipping list for the next set on my E46 coupé, only that I live in Vancouver, Canada, where the spring/fall sessions are WET, WET, WET. Otherwise, its sporty driving focus fits the car's character to a tee.
Michelin has always been about balance in all traits, while not necessarily acing each. Call it a broad-focus approach that gives the users the biggest envelope in various conditions (still loving my AS3s).
Kudos to another splendid test video. These take tons of work. 💯

Got the Asymmetric 6 for my Miata, and so far I'm really happy with it. Great corner stability, control and grip.

[studiomarand]

Its nice to find a review which tells exaclty how a tire performs, also nice finding someone finally commenting the negatives of the Michelin PS. I was skeptical, now I am sure about the Yokohamas. Thank you very much for this review, very on point, no bullshit, only real feelings and driving data. Thanks!

[fast.teacher]

Thanks for adding the Yokos in the mix! I’m one of those that have been asking. As always, excellent review 👏🏻

[deboxonline]

This is what i was waiting for, 17'' UHP test and with Advan V105. Thank you, thank you, that is gold.

[aDaWaN]

Thanks for testing the Yokohama Advan Sport V105, I have been running this tyre for years and absolutely love it on track days. Glad to see it is still at the top for dry handling and great to know the PS5 is not my tyre. The Continental looks like a great succesor to my V105's though!

[brky]

Yay! Finally a Yokohama tires review! Thank you for reviewing them! I love them on my cars.
