Latest Evo tyre test results are out...

Thought you lot might be interested in the overall results:

1st - Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric
2nd - Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta
3rd - Continental ContiSport Contact 3
4th - Bridgestone Potenza RE050-A
5th - Michelin Pilot Sport PS2
6th - Pirelli P-Zero Nero
7th - Kumho Ecsta STP KU31
8th - Dunlop Sport Maxx
9th - Yokohama S.Drive

There's obviously a lot more to the test, pick up the latest copy of evo (probably not in the shops just yet) to find out!

I know what tyres I'll continue to buy

Looks like those Pilot Sport II's are well worth the £170 a corner.

Oh yes, they came 7th in the wet braking test too

Reading slightly further, about the Yokahamas:

It came dead last in all the wet tests, generating so little grip that in the straight-line braking it took a massive 12.1m further than the best tyre...

I think that says it all
