In this tyre section you’ll find reviews and group tests of road and track tyres for performance cars as well as all-season and winter rubber designed for colder, wetter weather. We advise you on caring for the tyres you’ve got on your car now and sourcing the best replacements when the time comes, while also explaining the technology behind the performance tyres of today and tomorrow.

Below you’ll find our review of the latest Continental SportContact 7 range, a major player in the ultra high performance tyre class, plus news of Michelin’s first Pilot Sport EV tyre, its first performance tyre specifically developed for EVs.
