Test is only relevant to the 225/40 R18 tire size. Change the tire size and results would be entirely different.
Why... oooh why did they choose the Continental PremiumContact 7 - which is totally not max performance tire - instead of the readily available SportContact 7? Some serious testing here :)
Because the full test has wear and rolling resistance and the PC7 will do better overall thanks to this
Which is total BS. Either there are categories and - in this case UHP - tires are reviewed with all their pros and cons... or you are berry picking tires depending what results you wanna see... Still not convinced. (Besides, SportContact 7 was declared a clear overall winner over Bridgestone Sport and Michelin PS5 by you guys in previous comparisons. If just tire wear wieghs so much of an disadvantage in an UHP tire test... than it is a very very flawed test.)
It's worth noting that this is Autobilds test, not mine, but also that the SportContact 7 is designed to compete with the PIlot Sport 4S, not the Pilot Sport 5, or technically the Eagle F1 Supersport rather than the ASym 6.
Interesting with the Linglongs, going up from second to last to being in the top 5. Did they use a new compound or did they make a special test tire?
Lets wait for the full test next week. I believe the grip to be real, however I expect wear to be very high as the trade.
Is there any new results for Ling Long Sport Master tire test? I am looking tor new summer tires at the moment, so if you have new resolts or information, plese respond. Thanks!
