In this mini test I compare the plus version of the best ultra high performance all season tires on the market, the Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS+, the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus, the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 and the Pirelli P Zero All Season Plus in the dry, wet and snow to see which is the best tire overall! Can the current champion, the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 retain it's lead? Only one way to find out!
The Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 lead during the dry braking test, narrowly beating the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus.
The dynamic response of the Pirelli P Zero All Season Plus had it leading a very close dry handling group.
Like in dry braking, the Michelin led the way in wet braking.
The Continental edged out the Michelin in wet handling.
The Continental also had the fastest lap during wet circle.
The snow braking test was led by the Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS+.
The Bridgestones lead extended during snow traction.
Rounding out the snow testing, the Bridgestone once again won snow handling, though the Michelin was the easiest tyre to drive of the four.
The Michelin had a small lead in subjective comfort, rounding out the larger impacts a little better than the rest of the group.
