Real World Driver Reviews
Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport Driver Reviews
Drivers generally describe the Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport as a very high-grip, confidence-inspiring UUHP tyre with standout dry handling, sharp turn-in, and excellent steering feedback, often performing impressively on occasional track use thanks to strong heat tolerance and consistency. Wet performance is commonly rated as good for the category (with many finding it surprisingly capable), and a number of users report better-than-expected tread life for a performance tyre. The most repeated trade-offs are a firmer, harsher ride and, for some cars/uses, faster wear and less reassuring traction on cold/damp/greasy surfaces-especially as tread depth gets low.

Pirelli P Zero PZ5 Driver Reviews
Drivers reviewing the Pirelli P Zero PZ5 overwhelmingly praise its ultra-high-performance character, citing outstanding dry and wet grip, precise handling, and excellent high-speed stability. Many also note good comfort and promising wear even under spirited use. A minority report slightly softer initial steering/sidewall feel, and several mention reduced fuel economy due to higher rolling resistance. Overall, the PZ5 is viewed as a top-tier UHP tyre that often outperforms rivals like PS4S and SC7.

Tyres I already drove on my 322hp Megane RS: PS4, PS4s, PS3, Nokian Powerproof and now the Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport in 235/40/18.
Dry grip and feedback is great! Full throttle out of the corner is easy (works great with some added negative camber). It gives you so much confidence. The feedback is superb and now I really can push the car to its limits. I think they behave the same as the PS4s but it is difficult to compare because I've changed the suspension this year.
These Goodyears are a... Continue reading this review using the link below
In the dry these have loads of grip. Their overall feel is very sporty and firm. There is a nice degree of stiffness that makes turning on winding roads really fun. They feel safe and stable - there is no significant tendency to oversteer or understeer and predictability is good. I like the balance. At the limit, on the border of understeer, these bite-in nicely and tighten the... Continue reading this review using the link below
Conclusion

Footnote
This page has been developed using tyre industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tyres in the same test.
Why is this important? Tyre testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tyre test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tyre tests performed on different days or at different locations.
As a result you will see other tests on Tyre Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.
Lots of other websites do this sort of tyre comparison, Tyre Reviews doesn't.
