Sportauto: Summer Tire Test R19 2022
Sportauto magazine has conducted a series of tests of summer tires in size 235/35ZR19, which fits many compact sports cars, such as Volkswagen Golf GTI or Hyundai i30 N. On the European market, a large number of tire models in this size are available, from UHP tires with excellent wet grip to sportier UUHP tires, and even track tires, which are commonly referred to as «semi-slicks».
In the UHP and UUHP classes, seven tire models were tested, including a few new products — Bridgestone Potenza Sport, Michelin Pilot Sport 4, Continental SportContact 7, Falken Azenis FK510, Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport, Hankook Ventus S1 evo Z, and the recently modernized Pirelli P Zero (PZ4). The list of tested semi-slicks included Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2, Nankang AR-1, and the Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R in the version homologated by Porsche and bearing an additional N0 sign.
