Blackcircles Tyre Tests

Postby paulrwebster » Thu 31.01.2008, 20:59

Some interesting videos have been posted on YouTube testing various leading brands of tyre. Goodyear F1 come out top, closely followed by Michelin Pilot. Goodyears are best in the wet.

Having got F1's on at the moment & did have Michelin Pilots before, i pretty much concour with them findings, although the Michelins did give a softer more comfortable ride.

One of the videos on Youtube says that in a FWD car the Michelin and Goodyears were separated by only half a point. Practically equal although the Goodyears get the nod in wet weather.

This test was published in Autocar recently but can't remember which... Our Autocar is different anyway, we have it monthly here :(
