2016 tyre tests on 20" wheels
I am planning to buy new summertires. Now original Pirelli P ZERO Run Flats.
Finally there is a test made on 20" wheels and including the tires I am interested in. The article, by "tyrereviews" also include references to other tests. "2016 AutoBild UHP Summer Tyre Test", made with Jaguar F-type. King of the Hill is the new Conti Sport Contact 6, while best in the wet -something for the UK? -is Hankook Ventus S1 evo2. Note: AutoBild is a German magazine, but up to now, they have had Michelin Pilot Super Sport as top dog. |

Hi, I ditched the PZEROS for Vredestein Ultrac Vorti as soon as I bought my X4 18 Months ago. This was a huge step change in handling and comfort. I needed a new set of tyres and did some checking... The result.... a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sport which have the BMW *... I have only put them on today but immidiately feel better than the Vorti s. No way would I ever have Run Flats again.

Chopper - you almost made me buy Vredesteins .
Again - so far Michelin Pilot Super Sport has been "best" - now it seems the new Conti Sport Contact 6 is top dog. On third place in the Autobild test is Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 2, which also is best in the wet AND has lower price. |

Try Black Circles. Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 2 K117. Not BMW * rated, but that should not be a problem.
http://www.blackcircles.com/tyres/br...anchorAllSizes They come in both sizes to fit your car (same as mine). |
