#1
Michelin
4.4
(33)
"Michelin, in wet honestly i have fantastic experience with my ps4s."
"Michellin, a brand that speaks itself."
"Michelin Primacy series for comfort, Pilot Sport series for handling."
"Michelin"
"I’m running 20” wheels so they are expensive so I’m instead of finding a better value tyre I’m sticking to the PS4’s"
"Michelin PS4S. Expensive, but they’re *excellent* tyres in both dry and wet, and last a remarkably long time for such a high-performance tyre."
"You want the best tyre - Michelin. Budget alternative - Conti UC6, Yokohama Earth 1, Bridgestone."
"When they’re done I’ll go back to Michelin. 5s were the best rubber I’ve ever used"
"If the budget is not a concern, I would say go for Michelin or Goodyear."
"The PS4S is one of the grippiest tyre you can get."

Continental
4.0
(35)
"5000S TR in 28-32. Lean 28 for riders who are faster, lighter, and on smoother roads. Lean 32 for riders who are slower, heavier, or on bumpier roads."
"GP5000S TR 28 mm with tubeless setup."
"Another vote for Continentals. Pirelli are another good brand, but I always found they sort of sucked in the rain."
"Continentals were the best tyres I’ve had, but a close second and much cheaper are uniroyal rainsports"
"Go for Sport Contact 7."
"I've just moved to the Sport Contact 7 all round and they're brilliant."
"Continentals. Lasted ages and nice grip."
"Replaced them with continentals which, whilst costing twice as much, drove just as well and lasted nearly three times as long."
"The pair of part-worn Continentals I got that were practically brand new ... they lasted for absolutely ages."
"Continental"
#3
Maxxis
4.5
(12)
"Maxxis Razr AT. Great fucking tire, had good experiences with them on my MB, and gave them a try. Very happy so far."
"The anthracite walls on the new Mezcals look sick though and these are tough tires. More sidewall protection than the Black Chili RaceKings but almost as fast."
"Maxxis razrs 👍🏽"
"Also love my maxxis."
"Maxxis big horns for me."
"Maxxis have been great on mine."
"Mezcal is suprisingly good, but struggles with peanut butter mud. Riding MTB in mountains can be anything between touring on gravel roads and riding DH trails."
"Maxis is the way"
"For me on asphalt and little off-road works Maxxis High Roller 2 (26") very well."
"Second the Maxxis A/Ts."
#4
Yokohama
4.0
(12)
"Yokohama earth1 crazy braking grip"
"I have a set of Yokohama BluEarths, $120 per wheel including labour"
"The City Grip is a good tire, you can go wrong with that."
"Kalau kereta kecik, dari segi harga, Yokohama ES32 dah cukup bagus."
"Yoko v107"
"Then try Yokoham Earth 1 this time."
"Budget alternative - Yokohama Earth 1."
"If you want the comfort then earth 1 from Yokohama."
"I quite like the Yokohama ES32 for city driving."
"Either Yokohama or Michelin."
#5
Falken
4.3
(11)
"I bought the Falken A/T4Ws in 285/75/17. No BMC and they ride like a dream."
"Falken wildpeak at2. will last 100k kms."
"Got Falken wildpeak at3s and can’t fault them."
"Falken at3"
"Falken wildpeaks FTW."
"Falken at3"
"Falkens MT001 235/85R16. For MT is quiet, good fuel economy and can go anywhere."
"I have Falken Wildpeak at3w and they seem like a good compromise between tarmac and mild dirt / off roading."
"Falken Azenis FK520."
"I've used Falkens for years and am very happy with them because they're affordable but also offer good all-round performance."
#6
Goodyear
4.0
(11)
"Goodyear Ultragrip Performance. I’ve has these on three cars now as my winter setup and cannot praise them enough."
"Goodyear Efficient Grip, tough tyre, no dramas using them for over a year now."
"Eagle f1"
"Goodyear Efficient Grip. Not super cheap tyres, I think I got them in a sale, but I've had top end tyres and unless you're really going for it your can hardly tell any difference."
"Eagle F1s. I’ve had them on 3 cars now and I find them a really solid alternative to high end Michelins."
"Eagle F1s"
"Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6s are a bit cheaper."
"Thanks. Looks like I'm gonna go for Goodyear Eagle F1."
"Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 are great."
"Goodyear Ultragrip Ice or its studded variant."
#7
Reise
4.1
(8)
"Hands down the best in the budget category."
"Currently leaning more towards the TourR because it's a mix of street + mild offroad."
"Try reise tourR or TripR."
"The Reise tourRs would be good in the 6k ballpark."
"I got the new reise tour r (120/90/17) for my scram around 2 months back."
"Reise tourR is what my friend recommended."
"Reise has a 70-30 pattern so good for gravel and flat tracks."
"For the price, arguably the best option."
#8
Bridgestone
4.1
(8)
"Bridgestone BT46 are highly rated."
"Bridgestone Turanza AS 6"
"Bridgestones and not hard compound and much better than Apollo ceat mrf etc!"
"Bridgestone, but remember that someone pissed on their CEO."
"Bridgestone with genuine dealers is safe and better."
"Pushed it real hard on some pretty sketchy roads and they gripped perfectly."
"Minimal road noise and it puts down the power without any issues."
"Get Bridgestone only if your running is very high."
#9
Vredestein
4.8
(6)
"Vredestein Centuro ST is the middle ground here, offers best grip from what i've heard."
"The best available choice if you would like to stick to the stock tyre size would be to switch to the vredestein centuro st which comes stock on the new GT. Been using them for about 11k kms now and the grip is far superior and i have quite a bit of tyre tread left as well."
"Vredestein. Look no further."
"Go for the stock Vredestein tyres."
"Go for Vredestein, those offer amazing stability and grip."
"Vredstein is a pretty good brand"
#10
Pirelli
4.8
(6)
"I have a full set of Pirelli Powergy on at the moment and the wet grip is absolutely wicked."

"Pirelli Cinturato H"
"Pirelli cinturato H"
"I would recommend any 80/20 tyre: Pirelli rally, conti tkc70 or 80, mitas, motoz, conti anakee, kenda..."

#12
Schwalbe
3.8
(6)
"Schwalbe 'marathon' - I've used these on several e-bikes with great success."
"The tire is a fast roller on pavement and good grip in the loose. But a bit on the heavy side."
"Schwalbe Marathon/Marathon mtb"
"Schwalbe Pick-ups"
"Schwalbe Big Ben's"
"Super moto x"
#13
Avon
4.2
(5)
"Bridgestone Battlax T31 or Avon Cobras - found both to be amazing for me when I was riding."
"A pair of Avon CR6ZZ tyres in 205/70 15. They're very sticky and the perfect size for my Cal Look Beetle."
"Avon ZV7. Great value and a good allrounder"
"Avon ZV7s"
"Avon"
#14
Animal
4.8
(4)
"You will never get a flat on glh and they last forever."
"I’ve never had an issue with GLH, at least not one that was the tire’s fault."
"GLH the only tire that didn't die within a week."
"Animal glh are good all rounders with street being their main use."
#15
Toyo
4.3
(4)
"Toyo Proxes I have on my Focus, £60 each including fitting. The car is glued to the road with these on."
"Recently swapped them for Toyota AT3's. Both were good but the Toyos are more grabby which has been better on dirt/in mud."
"Another vote for Toyo, when funds were a bit tight."
"Toyo proxes tr1 were really good when I had them."
#16
Uniroyal
4.0
(4)
"Another uniroyal vote for me. I’m not tracking my car but it feels planted enough to be confident on b roads, not too noisy, great tread wear compared to softer “fast car tyres “"
"For most cars, the Uniroyal RS5 is easily the best mid-range tyre."
"Tried some other recommended tyres ... they've all sucked in comparison to the rainsports."
"Uniroyal Rainsport 5's. Does everything it needs to"
#17

5.0
(3)
"I have switched to tramplr xr now. It can do what alpha can and more."
"Tramplr xr is a dual purpose tyres, it has soft compound on the corners and hard in the middle."
"Tramplr xr are really good."
#18
Kumho
4.7
(3)
"Got an alignment done by him for B road blasting, stuck said recommended Kumhos on, I ran out of balls before they ran out of grip."
"Kumho Ecsta Le Sport KU39's really impressed me once. Far superior to the Pirelli P Zero's they replaced."
"Other than it will be Kumho tyres are best it’s Korean made."
#19

"Dunlop Mutants. I have some on my Speed Twin as the roads around me are shit. They aren’t bad off road either."
#25
AdvanDB
4.0
