So one can only guess how much this influences the test results. |

Been a big fan of Mich PSS and P4S tyres for years but...if other tests back up this result I'd be inclined to try the CSC7s on the front of my M5. A sharper feel from the front wouldn't go amiss.

A question for those in the know. Are tires run in anymore? Would the tires in this test have been taken out on the track to clean off any dressing and work them in a bit?

They haven't been released to the North American market yet. We're are usually a year behind the UK release...so probably around this time next year?

This seems like an odd test for street tires.
No info on thread life, only subjective comments on noise and comfort. Usually the Michelins are unrivaled as an all around street tire. For example tires have had better dry grip, but poor thread life. Usually there haven't been much competition that is overall great. But either way, this seems more like a test for 200tw tires.

Looks like Michelins or Bridgestones are the move for US buyers. But once you get up to $1300 USD for a set of tires that are going to wear out in 20k miles, does price even matter?

And the regular PS4S outperformed the OEM Star-spec in the wet, by about the same margin. Seeming to indicate nothing comes for free, at least when comparing variations of the same tire. Yet in this test the Contis outperform everything dry and wet, which can indicate either a scam, or a quantum leap in tire construction. Having seen this guy’s videos before, I personally am dismissing the scam scenario, to my eyes he is legit. I’ve never run UHP Contis on my cars before, but maybe I’ll give them a try next round.
