Which of these 5 tires in 235/55R17 do you recon would be the most comfortable and quiet on an S-Class?
Premium Contact 6
Premium Contact 6 MO-V (Mercedes spec tire but for the V-Class which is a Van)
Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5
Sport Maxx RT2 with NST (sound deadening foam)
Primacy 4
Interesting question, The Dunlop would probably be the quietest thanks to the foam but I would guess the Primacy 4 would give the best overall levels of NVH
Hi Jonathan, do you have any idea, if Dunlop plan something new in 17"? Something like SP Sport Maxx 2 or SportMaxx RT 3. And they have also no all season tire. In Dunlop is something frozen probably :-D
Dunlop do have a new all season tire! https://www.tyrereviews.com... they're just not pushing it.
If you don't already know, Goodyear own Dunlop, but at the moment they are going through a phase of pushing Goodyear which is why a lot of the Dunlop tires are the same as previous generation Goodyear tires (RT2 = Asym 3)
Thank you, I didn't notice new all season from Dunlop. Looks like siped summer, such a Vredestein way. I prefer directional pattern in winter.
I know about ownership, but I like Dunlop more. So they should release something new due to the name Dunlop.
I'm little bit confused with RT2. In some test is too much "eco" and in another is sporty. A had RT on Auris, and they were good tires. Not best, but definitely not what some tests are saying.
Which summer tires would you recommend for a 2015 VW Polo 1.4TSI BlueGT? Tire size is 215/40/R17.
The new Continental EcoContact 6 looks good on paper, but can't find any test of it?
So the Pirellis oh boy have they plummeted. I am wondering are there any new tires planned to be unveiled later this year?
As far as I'm aware there's nothing big and new this year other than the CrossClimate 2.
Strange result for the Pirelli but I'm sure their next range of tires will be much improved, as the updated P Zero PZ4 is
I was wondering because I do 50.000km / year so I change annually. In 205/55/16 the last 5 years I have sampled efficient grip performance 1, primacy 3, T005, rainstorm 5 and premium contact 6. So I am running out of options for October. As of now I am thinking of e-primacy but haven't been tested yet. Also pirelli is a letdown and the venture prime 3 is pretty old as is the Dunlop blu response.
EGP2 is worth a go if you've only used V1?
From the 5 tires I would only refit PC6 and T005. I am intrigued by the AE51 Yokohama the EFP2 well it is good no doubt but it seems the least sporty premium choice.
If you do 50.000 km/year than you will not find longer lasting tire than GY EGP2 and it really also is very fuel efficient. Second best lasting should be Michelin Primacy 4, according to tests. All in 205/55/16.
My experience with GY EGP1 195/65 R15 is that they de facto pay themselves/pay off via fuel saved and long lasting endurance.
P.S. E.g. UK petrol prices are now at an eight-year high.
I read somewhere about the upcoming Conti SportContact 7. How real is that. If they are able to blend the good sportiness of the SC6 with the wear properties of the latest Contis, it should be a killer, don’t you think?
