    Well here You have noted for Nokian Tire: ''Average wet performance'' and for Michelin ''safe dry and wet handling'' but results shows similar performance. Since Nokian tire produce less noise and rolling resistance I would expect Nokian tire to be in front of Michelin.
    Continental Premium Contact 6 is 15-20% cheaper here in Serbia than Michelin so it's best buy by far.

      Aquaplaning is quite a technical test, and without the support of a tire manufactures test facility I'm unsure how they would have performed it accurately.

    Apparently I missed the first test of the P7 C2, good results.

    I'm very surprised by the high noise level of the Primacy 4 which is supposed to be a very quiet tire.

    I am glad to see the EVER FIRST test of the new (made in 2020) PIRELLI CINTURATO P7 C2 (Pirelli P7C2) and the SECOND test of the new GOODYEAR EFFICIENTGRIP PERFORMANCE 2 (Goodyear EGP2) tires. Thanx to Jonathan's caveats, I approached the test results with care. Honestly speaking, any tire or automotive magazine's or website's tests may come only second to those of TireReviews.co.uk in terms of unbiasedness and objectivity. However, we have to buy what is available in terms of testing until Jonathan posts his own test video on Youtube.

    I already ordered a set of Pirelli P7C2 Seal-Inside in 18" (235/45/R18) size for my car which had been imported with the same stock tires from Germany (but of the previous generation, manufactured in 2016). I haven't had fitted the new tires on my car; I am planning to do so in April 2021. So, why the hell am I buying them 9 months ahead of time?

    Because of the almost hyper-inflationary economy in the country. Reckoning with the 400 TL gas/diesel gift cheque redeemable at one of the major petrol station chains of Turkey which you are eligible to receive once you buy a new set of (four pieces of) of 18" or above Pirelli tires, I will pay (1000 - 400/4) = 900 TL per tire for the new P7C2 Seal-Insides. So, roughly £105 each.

    I am expecting this retail price to remain more or less the same in British Pounds. Though, in Turkish Lira the price may soar to 1,400 TL or even 1,500 TL per piece by April 2021. That's why...

    Looking forward to your own assessment of Pirelli P7C2 and Goodyear EGP2, Dear Jonathan LORD OF THE BLACK RUBBER RINGS.

    God bless you and your website, Globally #1 Authority on Automobile/SUV tires.
