If you’re running 19 or 20-inch wheels, there are some great tyres available to you. The Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, Continental Sport Contact 6 and Goodyear Eagle F1 Super Sport are all tempting ‘ultra-ultra high-performance’ options, but if your car has 17 or 18-inch rims (depending on where you live, in some cases) you won’t be able to get hold of any of these in the right size.
Thankfully, each of these ‘UUHP’ boots has a ‘little brother’. The Michelin Pilot Sport 4, Continental Premium Contact 6 and Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 are each available in 17 and 18-inch diameters, but which is best?
