Excellent Tyre Test / Review

Bar Shaker

From a German magazine but the report is in English.

The winner is no surprise but its an innovative test and a good read.

Looks like an old test to me, with Michein PR2s and the original Ultremos, thanks anyway ...

It is an old test from 2007.

The tests are completed by TOUR magazine every year and I have the latest test at home. I think it should be known that TOUR use Conti's labs to complete the tests and Conti come out on top every time!

biased and old - therefore dismissed. Thank goodness for that or it may have killed off the endless threads for "which tyres should I buy for a 12% downhill gradient, in mildly moist conditions during november" ... which is the life blood of Road buying Advice isnt it?

I think almost all of the tyres tested are still for sale and still rated as the best you can buy.

I found it helpful.
