    which tire would you recommend between the hankook prime 3 and the GY asy 3's? very few tests in which they both feature, and are they a proper alternative to the PC6 and PS4?

          The Prime 3 is testing really well at the moment, as is the new Falken. The Goodyear is an older pattern but still an excellent all round tire. Difficult choice!

            i'll go for the hankooks then scince theyre a bit cheaper and i prefer low noise and good dry grip. Thx

                scince i live in holland, i'll wait for about 1 or 2 months before swapping back over to summer tires. Have to say i'm happy with the conti's TS860 tires i bought because of this site btw

      Are you looking at runflats? If so, the DriveGuard is a very comfortable tire.

          Then the Uniroyal Rainsport 3 is the one we'd pick

      The more the better :)

      Technically there were 52, but we don't have a couple of them in our database!

      Thanks for the heads up, it was a site cache issue. All sorted now :)

        Still Honda is better than Ford, VW and Mercedes :)

          There's a 24 hour browser side cache on the site, so if you ctrl/command+f5 you should see the corrected page, with the rest of the tires included too :)
