I don't know if anyone read the EVO 2010 Tyre Test, but the results were as follows:
1 Conti SportContact 3 93.4%
2 Uniroyal RainSport 2 88.7%
3 Vredestein Ultrac Cento 88.4%
4 Bridgestone Potenza RE050-A 87.9%
5 Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2 87.4%
6 Yokohama Advan Neova AD08 87.2%
7 Kumho Ecsta Le Sport KU39 80.8%
8 Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 80.1%
9 Zeetex HP103 73.1%
I wonder whether the Ultrac Cento is seen as the higher performance tyre over the Ultrac Sessantas...
this isnt really a high performance tyre review. where are the goodyears, where are the pilot sports etc.
That's what I thought when I read it, they all, bar the Contis, seem on a different level to the previous EVO tyre test.
Someone asked the question in this months EVO and they said they were doing a proper performance tyre test later in the year.
I've tried vreds, f1's and PS2's. F1's and vreds are very evenly tied, I'll keep buying the vreds because they are great value, slightly quieter and have a really stiff sidewall so turn in feels a little sharper. Haven't tried ps3's but ps2's were awful and I'll never buy a michelin tyre again.
What we have to remember guys is we make our comparisons against our previous 1.6 mm tyres and most replacements will feel better. I can't comment on vreds at 1.6mm but I found with the ps2's they were awful in the wet from 50% worn whereas the f1's were perfect all the way to 1.6 mm.
