Just to share, came across this Auto Express tyre test and was wondering how the Pirellis I'm using perform for comparison to my own experience. I do tend to agree with the results on dry and wet. One aspect that seems to validate my concern is aquaplaning. It does jiggle. So now that I know it does not react very well to water ponding although handling in wet pretty good. Something to stick into my mind.So guys, Do share your opinion. Conti seems to be a good all rounder.Scroll down for the verdict. tyre size was 225/40R18Might try Conti next. A shop quote rather competitively around RM1200.http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/products/total_tyre_guide/259582/tyre_test_2010.htmlWET BRAKINGContinental 100.0 Michelin 96.7 Bridgestone 96.5 Pirelli 96.3 Dunlop 96.1 Goodyear 96.0 Uniroyal 89.9 Hankook 89.4 Vredestein 88.5 Sava 88.5 Maxxis 82.7 Runway 74.0 DRY BRAKINGPirelli 100.0 Continental 99.6 Bridgestone 99.3 Hankook 97.9 Michelin 97.8 Goodyear 97.7 Dunlop 97.6 Sava 95.2 Maxxis 94.6 Uniroyal 94.0 Vredestein 93.9 Runway 88.7 AQUAPLANING - STRAIGHT RESULTSMaxxis 100.0 Uniroyal 99.2 Vredestein 96.4 Michelin 95.7 Goodyear 95.5 Continental 95.4 Bridgestone 94.5 Pirelli 92.9 Dunlop 91.4 Hankook 91.0 Runway 90.9 Sava 86.2 AQUAPLANING - CURVED RESULTSMichelin 100.0 Uniroyal 96.7 Continental 93.9 Maxxis 93.6 Hankook 90.4 Bridgestone 88.3 Goodyear 88.1 Dunlop 86.8 Runway 86.0 Vredestein 84.8 Sava 80.6 Pirelli 73.2 WET HANDLING RESULTSGoodyear 100.0 Continental 99.8 Pirelli 99.7 Dunlop 99.2 Bridgestone 99.1 Michelin 99.0 Vredestein 96.7 Uniroyal 96.6 Sava 96.3 Maxxis 94.1 Hankook 93.9 Runway 90.2 WET HANDLING CORNERING RESULTSGoodyear 100.0 Pirelli 99.7 Dunlop 99.2 Continental 97.3 Michelin 94.7 Vredestein 94.5 Bridgestone 94.3 Hankook 94.0 Sava 93.3 Uniroyal 91.7 Maxxis 89.2 Runway 79.6 DRY HANDLINGPirelli 100.0 Goodyear 99.5 Michelin 99.4 Hankook 99.3 Continental 98.8 Dunlop 98.8 Vredestein 98.8 Bridgestone 98.6 Sava 98.5 Uniroyal 98.1 Maxxis 97.7 Runway 96.0 VERDICT1.
