  2. Ready for Anything: Goodyear launches Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 Goodyear launches newest member of Eagle F1 family New technology improves dry performance, wet braking and handling EV-ready technology reduces noise and rolling resistance Ready to reassure, ready to thrill Goodyear has revealed the latest iteration of its premium award-winning Eagle F1 range of ultra-high performance (UHP) tires, the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6. With new technology to improve dry performance, wet braking, wet handling and electric vehicle suitability, Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is ready for anything. Designed to suit a wide range of cars, including hot hatches, sporty compacts, family cars, luxury sedans and sports coupes, Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 features a number of innovations to build on the award-winning Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5. The result is a tire designed to both reassure drivers with its wet braking and handling abilities and thrill them with its outstanding dry performance and sporty credentials. Improving dry performance1, Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 features an adaptive contact patch and optimised cavity to adapt to load variations. While under standard driving conditions, the tire’s contact patch has a normal footprint, but this increases when the driver makes an extreme manoeuvre. The contact area therefore adapts to the driving style and increases as needed, giving the driver more grip and reactivity to extreme manoeuvres. In wet weather conditions, the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 cap compound with innovative new resin system allows the tire to have more micro-contact with the road surface, giving drivers better grip on damp or wet roads2. Technology developed for UUHP (ultra ultra high performance) tires designed to perform as well on the racetrack as the road has been transferred to Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6. In Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6, this technology increases its flexibility to match or be more resistant to road roughness3. This resin system boosts tire grip on the road4. Every tire in Goodyear’s range is EV-ready, but Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 has been specifically designed with manufacturers’ EV requirements in mind. Its noise cancelling pattern results in a reduction of 1 dB, shown on the tire label, while its new compound technology reduces rolling resistance, to help increase electric range5. The result is a tire that is ready for the next generation of mobility. Laurent Colantonio, Regional Technology Director EMEA, Goodyear: “Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is the latest in our award-winning range of Eagle F1 tires. With key innovations to improve dry performance and wet braking and handling, it is ready for the most demanding performance, simultaneously reassuring and thrilling drivers. We at Goodyear are proud to work with leading OEMs to push forward the next generation of mobility; that’s why Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 suits the requirements of electric vehicles and is ready to take electric mobility further.” Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 will be initially rolled out in 28 sizes in Q1 2022, with additional sizes released throughout the year. By 2023, Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 will be available in no fewer than 65 sizes from 17 to 22-inch fitments. The initial size list for release in January 2022 includes a number of popular 17 and 18-inch fitments, before further 17, 18 and 19-inch sizes are added in February and March. The range will be expanded to 21-inch fitments in April. (1) (2) (3) (4) Compared to predecessor Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5. Internal tests, size 225/45R17, test car: Volkswagen Golf 8, test location: Mireval Test Track.

  3. Hi folks! I have not seen related discussion before hence starting one. All EV drivers, please share your experiences and recommendations for tyres? I know most EVs are new in Singapore. Tesla, BYD, BMW I series, Mercedes EQ series, Audi e-tron series etc. EV cars are much heavier than ICE, tyres I guess have to use EV specific ones to achieve good comfort, performance and most importantly thread wear. I am currently driving BMW iX3, stock came with Yokohama, hence I am looking around. Explored tyrereviews and understand that Michelin , Bridgestone, Goodyear are the top 3 tyres, are they also good for EVs? Correct me if I am wrong. Hope to hear from you all! TIA
  4. What do most modern performance cars have in common? If you answered Michelin tires then you’re on the correct track. Every time a new high-performance car debuts it seems more and more common to see a set of bespoke set of Michelin tires as part of the build package. Based on a press release by Michelin Japan we get a glimpse into Michelin’s quest to improve upon the best tire on earth the current Michelin PS 4S tire with the all-new Michelin Pilot Sport 5. In recent years tires have gained a lot more respect. Sure a new set of tires isn’t as exciting as an ECU tune, or a new set of coilovers, but a good set of tires can transform your car’s driving experience. Good tires can improve every measurable metric of your car’s performance and they’re the only part of your car that’s supposed to touch the ground. That means all the engineering that goes into your car’s construction relies on the tires to perform. Now that we’re established the importance of tires why does the new Michelin Pilot Sport 5 stand out? Well based on qualitative data and quantitative information from years of reviews, many agree that the current Michelin Pilot Sport 4S is the best tire on the market. The new Michelin Pilot Sport 5 improved upon the Pilot Sport 4S in both quantitative testing and qualitative feedback. The new Pilot Sport 5 is 1.7% seconds faster than the Pilot Sport 4S on a wet lap on Michelin’s test track. In addition to the wet performance, the Pilot Sport 5 is 1.5% faster than its predecessor on a dry lap. The New Pilot Sport 5 press release isn’t just about numbers either. Michelins goes into detail about how they improved the feel of these new tires, which should result in even more driving pleasure. We can’t wait to try these out.

  6. Sources: https://www.motor1.com/news/675922/michelin-pilot-sprot-4s-vs-continental-extremecontact-sport02/ The Michelin Pilot Sport 4S has long been regarded as the standard for high-performance summer tires. They offer very good performance on the track and work well on the street. Not to be outdone, Continental recently developed the ExtremeContact Sport 02 series and set the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S in its sights. So which one is better? That's what Tyre Reviews decided to find out. The two biggest knocks on the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S are its price and age. Michelin introduced the Pilot Sport 4S more than eight years ago, which is an eternity for tire technology. It's also one of the most expensive performance tires, costing more than $1,700 for a set of four. Knowing this, Michelin also introduced the Pilot Sport S 5 this year, which is not a direct replacement but an evolution designed for today's high-performance hybrid and electric vehicles. But before you dismiss the Pilot Sport 4S as old and overpriced, know that it still wins every comparison test, and if it doesn't, it's in the top three. Right off the bat, the Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 is cheaper by about $200 a set. However, while that price difference is significant, the performance difference between the old ExtremeContact Sport and the Pilot Sport 4S was always minimal. In fact, the only real advantage the Pilot Sport 4S had in its favor was a better feel and steering response, two things Continental says it improved with the new ExtremeContact Sport 02.
  7. Source: https://www.tyrereviews.com/Article/Exclusive-The-Michelin-Pilot-Sport-S-5-is-here.htm Exclusive: The Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 is here! In this article I'll be sharing exclusive information about the brand new Michelin Pilot Sport S 5! If you're reading this article I'm 100% sure you will already know all about the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S, which is still, after 6 years, one of the best ultra high performance tyres you can buy today. The PS4S has such a HUGE amount of popularity online, I get asked almost daily when the replacement for this tyre will be launched, and I'm really happy to stay, NOW is that TIME! Well, sort of… The new tyre we're talking about today is the Michelin Pilot Sport S 5, and yes there's subtle change in the naming scheme, more on that in a bit. Naturally the new Pilot Sport S 5 builds upon the total brilliance of the Pilot Sport 4 S, which won more tests than any other UHP tyre ever, with the new tyre bringing some significant upgrades. New Technology The new technologies in the PSS5 include, but are not limited to: A new wavy summit, which is the precisely controlled undulation of the steel belts under the tread blocks to stiffen the tread pattern for precise steering and handling. If you've seen my video about the OE * marked Pilot Sport 4 S you'll know this is a huge deal and I REALLY liked that tyre. Michelin have also further developed the dual Sport tread design - this is a further step forward of how all asymmetric UHP tyres have been going, ie having a large portion of the outside of the tyre dedicated to rigid blocks for better lateral dry grip and steering response, with the inside of the tyre having more large longitudinal grooves that flush away water for enhanced wet road traction. The new Pilot Sport 5 S also has a new racing derived tread compound on the outside to maximize dry grip on road or track, think of this is more a cup 2 compound for the outer shoulder like the bmw * marked PS4S I loved so much, and a new cutting edge rubber compound on the inside engineered for the best possible wet grip. Finally the last big change is a new bead design architecture to further improve steering response and handling. While all this is very very exciting, perhaps the best news of all for most of you is that the new PSS5 will have the next generation of premium touch sidewall design for an exceptionally high contrast and deep black aspect on the sidewall. Basically it should look as good as it performs. Which in theory, will be outstanding. Naturally the tyre is evolving with the latest market demands too, meaning certain sizes will be available with acoustic foam for lower internal noise, connected sensors, built- in RFID and of course high load for the larger and more powerful hybrid and electric vehicles. Infact, Michelin used the example of the Ferrari F8 Tributo and its replacement, the 296 GTB. The new car might only have a V6 compared to the F8s V8, but it also has serious electric fill so it has 50% more torque, another 105bhp taking it up to a quite frankly insane 805bhp, and weighs nearly 100kgs more. The Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 is designed to handle this with ease. The Name As for the name. Yes, Michelin has changed the naming convention again. The original directional tyre was the Michelin Pilot Sport, and it was actually my first ever tyre, and one of the main reasons I'm so into tyres today. We then moved to the Pilot Sport 2, which was a fantastic sports tyre, but for the following generation the Pilot Sport 3 pivoted towards being a more comfort bias, and the real successor was the Michelin Pilot SuperSport. Next up naturally was the Pilot SuperSport 2 actually nope that would make too much sense, Michelin actually named it the Pilot Sport 4S, which is the tyre that we've all known and loved for the past 6 years. So, why not the Pilot Sport 5 S. Well, apart from the fact Michelin seem to like to keep us on our toes, Michelins long term vision is to align all the tyres under four pillars. 1, brand, which is Michelin, 2 Core product family name, in this case Pilot Sport, 3, qualifier performance subgroup if it exists, in this case S, and 4 generation, in this case 5. This tyre is the more sporty brother of the Pilot Sport 5, see how it works? Availability Hyped for the new tyre right? More grip, better handling, even sexier sidewall, new name. What's not to like? I know you'll be dying to know when you can buy it for your car. Well, as of right now, you probably can't, unless you're one of a few OE tyres it's launching this month. Initially this tyre is OE only, with I believe Aston Martin being the first manufacturer to launch cars with the PSS5 fitted, followed by the likes of AMG, Ferrari, Land Rover, Lexus and Porsche. So, why is it oe only? The official statement follows: "For the short term, our core replacement market offer will remain MICHELIN Pilot Sport 4S, with both non-marked tires and marked tires, while MICHELIN Pilot Sport S 5 will become our new offer to address new OE programs. At mid-term, we plan to replace MICHELIN Pilot Sport 4 S with a new product. The technical team is already working on new technologies to improve the overall performance of our actual tireline." Michelin also reminded me that the Pilot Sport 4 S might be getting on in years, but it is STILL winning tests and one of the best reviewed tyres on the market, so while we're all excited for a shiny new product to try, no one more than me, they're saying the Michelin offering in this segment is still amongst the best. And I really can't argue with them. I've been told no timeline for the replacement market 4 S, nor have I officially been told what it will be called, however with this tyre appearing in market, it's now a lot closer now than it was before. 2023 is going to be an exciting year for new tyres.
  8. Hi, Anyone used these tyres before and how do you rate them? What tyres will you changed if it's down to these 3 choices? Btw am talking about Europe made ones.
  9. SINGAPORE – It is a delivery run for the history books, with the public getting its first look in Singapore at a van fitted with puncture-proof tyres as it made its way from the DHL Express office in Tai Seng Drive to Potong Pasir. Right from the get-go, onlookers’ eyes were drawn to the prototype tyres, which look visibly different from conventional ones. The tyres have sturdy rubbery strut-like structures to keep them propped up, instead of being filled with air. By the end of 2023, DHL Express will have around 50 vans fitted with such tyres as part of a trial by French tyre maker Michelin. The test will run until 2025, following smaller-scale tests under controlled conditions here, which The Straits Times reported on in December 2022. The tyres looked slightly compressed under the weight of the van but Michelin said this is how they usually look. The imprint at the edge of the tyres indicates that they can each bear a maximum load of 650kg. Besides Singapore, the puncture-proof tyre technology is also being tested in Thailand and the United States. Michelin said the puncture-proof tyres last as long as conventional tyres. It said it is also researching the use of 3D-printing technology to add new materials onto a worn tyre, extending its service life and reducing waste. The tyre company estimated that globally, 20 per cent of tyres on the road are taken out of service before they are fully worn because of flats, blowouts or irregular wear and tear when they are not pumped to the right amount of air pressure. Michelin said this means its puncture-proof tyres could save up to 200 million tyres annually from being prematurely scrapped. https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/transport/first-van-with-puncture-proof-tyres-hits-the-road-in-singapore If you have trypophobia, don't click on the video. 😢
  10. Dear all, We can soon see Michelin sport 4. http://tyresearch.telegraph.co.uk/r-new-tyres-advice/the-michelin-pilot-sport-4-on-show-at-frankfurt-27847 The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 on show at Frankfurt New tyres Tyre manufacturer Michelin is showcasing its new sports tyre, the Pilot Sport 4, at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show. A much anticipated tyre that is up against some keen competition. Michelin’s long-awaited new summer sports tyre, the Pilot Sport 4, is finally on show at the Frankfurt Motor Show. - Copyright © : Michelin On the same topic Michelin launches it new sports tyre, the Michelin Pilot Sport 3 Continental SportContact 6: Rezulteo’s test Firestone Multiseason, an all season tyre for city cars Competition in the sport’s tyre segment is rife, while Continental has just launched the SportContact 6, Michelin is currently presenting the latest addition to its Pilot Sport range at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The Pilot Sport range has earned a solid reputation, especially for its most versatile version which until now was the Pilot Sport 3, a tyre available on the market since 2010. To ensure continuity, the PS4 goes even further than its predecessor offering significant progress in several areas, mainly thanks to Michelin’s experience in racing. Driving pleasure Logically, the Pilot Sport 4 places the emphasis on driving sensations and pure efficiency. For this, its structure features a reinforced belt to keep any tyre deformation to a minimum and, as a result, improves driving precision, dynamic response and of course, the level of pure grip. Copyright © : Michelin Geared towards safety The PS4 is a tyre designed to equip passenger cars. As such, it must deliver an excellent level of safety in all weather conditions. Its new tread compound has been developed with this in mind, just like its wide grooves providing efficient water evacuation. However, the brief presentation did not provide any further information about this new Michelin tyre. We hope to compare it with other reference tyres in the high performance segment in the near future to truly evaluate its potential. Let’s hope it achieves its efficiency. Availability The Pilot Sport 4 will be available on the market in January 2016, and initially, only in 17- and 18-inch sizes. New sizes will be available later, and in particular, 19-inch sizes.

  11. Michelin Pilot sport 4 Different moulds used, This week I had a puncture in one of my ps4's and got it changed, I realised that the two tyres looked considerably different to each other, one tyre has a rim protection lip when the other doesn't. Brought it up with the tyre place who contacted Michelin who then had it escalated to figure out why they where different. 4 days went past and it turns out that Michelin make the tyres in both Spain and Thailand and the new one I got (Made in Thailand) doesn't have rim protection like the original ps4 tyres. it is pretty disappointing that the tyre is different since they look considerably worse than the original Spain made ps4 tyres. I've posted photos of the two for reference Anyone else experienced this and as frustrated as I am?
  12. Over the years, some have asked me for views on which brand is good In the early days I've tried Falken. My ears comprain Then tried Dunlop. It was like....meh Then Toyo came along. Not bad but wear rate wasn't great Then Goodyear started to enter the market w the F1s. First tried the GSD3. Sticky but slight noisy becoz the directional pattern. Subsequently tried the Asymmetric 2 & 3. Didn't disappoint Also tried something more premium like the Continental Sport Contact 3, followed up by the CSC 5. Currently using CSC 6. It's all good But throughout all these years, somehow i never tried Michelin. Maybe the Continentals were so good that I was contented. In fact, the closest i got to anything remotely related to Michelin was Tim Ho Wan..... But many people say Michelin rubber is very good Deep down i know they're probably right. So many voices can't be wrong. Hence, I decided to put my faith in the Bibendum or better known as the fat Michelin man. So I took the plunge. Now I'm a proud owner of my first set of Michelin Performance. Run flats somemore....
  13. The replacement for the Pilot Super Sport, the Pilot Sport 4S, is the culmination of a lot of behind the scenes work. http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/car-technology/videos/a32408/michelin-pilot-sport-4-s-engineering-explained/ MICHELIN’S NEW ULTRAHIGH PERFORMANCE TIRE CAN MAKE ANY CAR FEEL LIKE A SUPERCAR http://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/michelin-pilot-sport-4-s-testing/

  15. This is a shop I would avoid. Prices quoted on their facebook ads and carousell listings are completely different from prices quoted over the phone. The price on their carousell listing says 190 for Michelin PS4 225/45/18. Call them up to confirm, the price goes up to 240. WTF!!! Then later when I ask what the manufacture date is, they tell me it is made in 2016. The tire is 3 f**king years old. No wonder so cheap. Then a few days later I see the facebook ad listing it as 220. Call the guy up to confirm what the year of manufacture is, he says it is 2017 although I highly doubt that. It is probably the same 2016 tire. I asked the guy over the phone about whether got new stock for the Michelin PS4 and whether it is $220. He brushed me off saying he is not in office and will get back to me. What a c**t! I eventually got tired of waiting for this c**t to get back to me, I went nearby and snagged a set of 2019 PS4 tires for $235 a piece. At least the other tire shop was straightforward and also an authorised dealer of Michelin tires. Given how sketchy they are about answering questions, I will avoid them. It seems they try to toss old stock to unsuspecting people who don't ask about manufacturing dates. They give different prices over the phone and in their listings. So hard to stay consistent meh? There is always a catch with their pricing. If you visit this place, visit at your own risk.
  16. Can anyone recommend any tyre shop that carries this size? its pretty hard to find it. been calling a few shops and they dont really carry this size. Thanks in advance! looking at michelin or bridgestone. or if theres any recommendations! thanks!

  18. No more flats: Michelin and GM to bring airless tires to passenger cars by 2024 Sources: https://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/michelin-and-gm-aim-to-bring-airless-tires-to-passenger-cars-by-2024/ Plenty of things can go wrong when you’re driving a car, though thankfully the vast majority of trips go without a hitch. Tire punctures, for example, are a real headache, but thanks to a collaboration between Michelin and General Motors (GM), the deflating experience could soon be a thing of the past. Following years of research, Michelin announced this week that it’s ready to hit the road with UPTIS, its “unique puncture-proof tire system,” and is partnering with GM for real-world trials using Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicles. Testing starts this year and if all goes well, airless tires could be coming to a passenger car near you as early as 2024. The tire’s all-important rib design is located between the aluminum wheel and the outer tread. It comprises a composite rubber and high-strength resin-embedded fiberglass material that offers plenty of give and durability. The tire is essentially a more advanced version of the Tweel, another airless design that Michelin unveiled nearly 15 years ago. Early issues with Michelin’s airless tires included excess noise and vibration compared to conventional designs, but fortunately these problems have since been overcome. AdvantagesAirless tires offer a number of advantages over the traditional design. For example, the elimination of annoying flats and potentially dangerous blowouts will lead to a reduction in waste products — Michelin puts the saving at 2 million tons a year — as fewer tires would be scrapped before reaching the end of their life cycle. They’ll also reduce the use of raw materials, energy for production, and emissions linked to the manufacture of spare and replacement tires that will no longer be required. And by ending the need to carry a spare tire, cars will also be lighter and therefore more efficient. Airless tires will also help businesses managing fleets of vehicles to run a more efficient operation as there’ll be no time lost to flats and general tire maintenance that includes inspections for damage and pressure checks. Testing the tire with the Chevrolet Bolts will put the design through its paces over an extended period, allowing engineers to see how well it handles a range of surfaces and challenging weather conditions. Looking at this latest development, Michelin’s long-running interest in airless tires looks like it could soon pay off.
  19. Surprise no one posted this yet. It was announced today. I guess this bibgourmand is less prestigious than the star award?? https://guide.michelin.sg/bibgourmand2016
  20. Hi Just wanted to share my bad experience with these tyres. I drive a Volvo V60. My stock tyres were the Michelin Primacy which lasted me 2 years. After reading reviews online I decided to try the PS3, 17inch 45. Changed in Mar this year, did balancing and alignment, all at Kim Hoe. Tyres never felt better than the stock tyres, maybe its just not right for the V60. A lot of flexing, even without hard cornering. Threads gone by end of Sep, after only 6 months and 12k. And yes I made sure that the pressures were regularly checked Just changed to the P7. Fingers crossed Very very bad experience. I owned cars for the last 14 years and this was the worst ever experience To be fair to Kim Hoe, I chose these on my own but boy was I wrong and just to make clear, this is just my honest experience.
  21. Any bro know the esimate price for above mention tire and review? I'm looking at 235/45-18. Contemplating between Conti csc5 and Mic pss, looking for better grip and low noise. Thanks.
  22. As above... 1. Bridgestone RE001 2. DZ101 3. Michelin PS3 For those who have used at least 2 of these, which ones have the: 1- Stiffest sidewall 2- BEST wet weather grip 3- POSITIVE steering feedback in all conditions I don't care about comfort levels, etc etc, only these three things.. I've used 3 sets of RE001s for nearly 4 years over 2 different cars (a Getz and then my current Lancer Ralliart as my daily driver), so kinda lost touch with the rest of the tyre range My last set of RE001s lasted exactly a year (time to change this week) when I clocked about 55,000km so that gives you an idea of the sort of driver I am. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated thanks :)
  23. Has anyone tried the Michelin Primacy LC tyres? I tried a few shops and were told that it's not ready available yet (to be launched in August). However, the website is already displaying the tyre as available and I can't get through Michelin's line to clarify and confirm. I think it has been launched in Malaysia so if anyone has got it, I wouldn't mind to hear from you about the tyres. Thank you in advance!
  24. Hi, anyone tried this new tyre ? Feedback please. Thanks !
  25. Anyone else interested in doing this or have done something similar? http://www.andyhayler.com/ Andy Hayler the only person who has been to every 3 star Michelin restaurant in the world
