    Can’t really believe those wet scores for the Conti. This tire grip amazingly well in the wet. I have a 530kW/950Nm beast and have never had issues in the wet. Wet or dry the Conti’s are awesome, but they are very soft. That’s why I’m swapping to the Michelins, which are now a lot lot cheaper than they used to be. In Australia I can get them cheaper than the Goodyears, Dunlops or Continentals.

    Thanks for posting this review :)

    Very interesting.

    Goodyear and Dunlop are the Premium which don´t have tires like Conti SC6 or Michelin P4S, so we have only a small choice if we want more than UHP. Bridgestone don´t sell the RE003 in Germany, but I guess this tire will be not a competitor in wet-performance.

    Like I thought, biggest difference seems to be dry handling subjective, not objective. But this is also important for me, I don´t care about being 2km/h faster in the corners, but the feeling like steering is the thing which is important.

    But in wet the RT2 and Asy 3 beat the UUHP from Conti and Michelin. Most ppl I know would prefer the RT2 and Asy 3, which are good and also cheaper than Conti and Michelin

    Has anyone considered doing tests of tires neer end of life? I know from experience the (French) brand that would win and also those premium brands that age extremely badly to level of budget tires.

      There's an article on site about tread wear, it's actually incredibly lengthy and costly to do but I'd love to do the test at some point!

        I buy new tires and if the tires are going bad I buy new ones.

        Michelin made some ugly reviews with EOL-tires and IMHO it´s a very bad thing that Michelin want to say ppl should drive with 2mm tread winter-tires. No matter if is wet or snowy, with 2mm you will be a rolling danger on the roads.

      I can say my good Pirelli P Zero were awesome in the 4th season, except with aquaplaning. But wet grip was still better than newer Bridgestone RE002 and Goodyear F1 Asymmetric 3

      Can´t believe any new budget-tire can beat the P Zero, never

    Have you ever seen *actual* differences between a "standard" tire and an OEM-specific variant of that same model, e.g. Audi A0 spec.

    Are they ever listed with different speed rating; wear rating; measured noise/efficiency/wet grip per EU testing; or anything else?

    Never seen anyone answer this definitely.

        thanks very much for that.

        another q - is there any reason to pick V-speed variant over W-speed variant of the same model?

        for winter tires some are offered in both ratings.

        if one never exceeds W speed (even in dry condition in cold months), and they're the same price, would the V version offer any gains at all such as more suppleness? or should one always buy the highest speed rating as there are no downsides

    The SC6 result makes the point that it would be nice to know how wet (what water depth) the wet handling test was. [I would like such a test to be in merely damp (as opposed to streaming wet or standing water conditions) given that aquaplaning is separately tested.]

      Sadly providing a constant level of damp is nigh on impossible, all wet tracks need a very small amount of flowing water. Goodyear's wet track doesn't have much more flowing water than others, it's no where near the depth of aquaplaning testing, it's very curious the Conti struggled.

    Again, given that Evo is as guilty as its sibling AutoExpress of having dysfunctional "search" arrangements, a direct link would be a service to your readers.

      I don't think EVO publish their tests online until quite a while after the magazine goes off sale. As soon as I find one I'll update the article :)
