Writing about the Nankang AR 1
rated 84%
I have these on my 650-700kw rwd skyline. Grips better than 100utqg nt01. Not better than Mickey street R. Mickey's don't fishtail but these do SLIGHTLY on full power 2nd gear which is impressive. Obviously no slip in the wet compared to Mickey's when cruising 100kmh on the highway rain. Perfect for a high performance daily just don't be a hoon in the wet. Wear is much better than nt01 and Mickey's which only last 1 year. These ar1 are at over a year still plenty to go. Never aligned since installedd lol still chunky. 100% buy again for purely the dry grip on full power. Wet grip on daily and long life compared to other semi slicks. Best I had. I've tried nt01 nt05 rsrr r1r mtComp. etStreetR. best overall balance for a high performance rwd daily.

Writing about the Bridgestone Potenza Sport
rated 60%
Swapped from Michelins.
In the front this turned the steering feel from responsive and sharp, to slightly dull and heavy. So much that i ditched the fronts and went back to Michelins super Sports up front.
Kept the Bridgestones in the rear, as the grip is phenomenal.
There are a few more things i don't like about them tho. Even if the sideways grip is great, they do tend to spin a bit easy. Even with lsd on a 300hp car, they do slip in first and second gear on the dry, in a mid engine car.
Also they are a bit noisy, and the life span is horrible. From new, to legal limit they have lasted about 15000km. Driving mostly on b roads.

R34 RWD G35 turbo 700WHP rolls/straights.
Slight spin on boost 1st gear compared to Mickey ET Street(no spin, rolls- not launches). Better than R888R(spins 1st + 2nd + slight 3rd since day1. Won't get r888r ever again. AR1 definitely grips very well. finally back in control after 2 years of horrid r888r. Just bought last week. Turning feels great but I'm no circuit expert. Used to have slight oversteer before now it's perfect.

Worst tires I've ever used! They deformed after 10.000km (2 seasons) of use and now they will go straight to the garbage - the car shakes. Shame on you, Nokian!

Writing about the Fulda SportControl 2
rated 87%
A good mid range tire which I would describe as a slightly softer touring tire. Definitely not a UHP in terms of outright grip. The tires do everything well for normal daily driving. They perform well in the wet and dry but overall better in the dry. They give a good progressive feel but not the direct feel you might get from a £130 plus tire in this size. My previous tires were Pirelli P7 Cintarato which I've moved away from due to tire wall cracking after only a couple of seasons. My reasoning for selecting the Fulda was overall good reviews across multiple review websites, price, made in Germany (and they are, which for some reason I find reassuring), specification (95Y) which tells me the carcass will be robust and tire walls perhaps a little stiffer than 91's. Fulda has also been in business for many, many years so they must be doing something right. The way I figure it if I have paid less than £100 each fitted and get a couple of seasons I'm happy. With the Pirellis currently at £150 each I don't fancy taking the risk again. It was also great to see a side wall protector which is rare at this price point.
Comparing the two brands I would say the Fulda Sport Control 2 are quieter, made of a softer rubber compound, and more comfortable. The Pirelli's I have no doubt last much longer (harder rubber compound) and perhaps have a slight edge in the wet even though the Fulda's are labelled to be better. The Pirelli's also have the edge in terms of road feedback, break away communication and tire sidewall design. Pound for pound I am happy with my decision. The difference between the two is not great enough to warrant the extra expense and for mainly local commuting they will be just fine. Also, having spent less I can afford to get fresh tires every couple of years which will always be better than older rubber. I can't comment on wear as they have not been fitted for long.
My tire size was 245/40/17 95Y. My main driving is local runs of around 10-15 miles per day and I then typically use the car twice a year for european trips. I don't drive hard and fast but do like to feel the communication of the car especially on faster country roads and these tires give that enjoyment.

Writing about the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6
rated 84%
Good tire but wears fast. Have had Goodyear Asymmetric 6 for 20000km and rears are done. Uniroyal Rainsport 5 lasted for 33000km. So, compared to those Goodyears wear very badly and Uniroyals are considered high wearing tire.
That said wear is about only negative. Tires are quiet, have really good grip and fast and communicative turn in.

Writing about the Goodyear Eagle Sport All Season
rated 33%
245/40 R17 on the rear of my 2014 Mercedes C300 are the noisiest tires I have ever ridden on. There appears to be no cupping or uneven wear. I can’t tell if the front tires (225/45R17) are noisy or not-no unusual wear on them either. I specifically bought these because of reviews saying they were quiet. I would never buy these tires again. They have about 10,000 miles, were not too noisy at first, but are terrible now. 35 mph and above is excruciating.

Just bought 4 new tires and I can tell these tires have way more grip then my old secondhand ones that I was driving around on. Definitely feel more secure and confident with these under the car. Would love to try the premium contact 7 against these however they were unavailable for my rear set.

Writing about the Falken Azenis FK510
rated 78%
I bought these after about a month of searching for 245 wide tires that won't explose my budget, since I wanted some more meat under my BRZ. The sidewall feels softer than my previous set, but it's probably only due to the increased size (going from 215 on a 7in to a 245 on a 9in). Overall the tire has great grip, wether its cold, warm or wet. Tried a single session on them at a local racetrack, and they held very well! No understeer or oversteer even after pushing. I do have a slightly aggressive alignment, which may help. Overall its a great tire for a fun daily driver, maybe not as good as the top dogs in the UHP category, hopefully after some more miles they still shine.
