The Three Best 225/40 R18 92Y XL Summer tyres?

I had high hopes for the S001 - 20 years ago Bridgestone were at the top of their game with the legendary S01 and S02. I wonder what happened...

I bet the Contis will last longer than the Goodyears.

Would a mortal like me notice a big difference between my current Dunlop Sport Max and the highly rated Goodyears?

Yes you would notice, because they are both crap tyres

It's all about good rim-protection.

This is the First Review in 2011 for Maximum Performance Summer Tyres.
I am leaning towards the Goodyear more and more.

After kerbing my shadows last week rim protection has risen higher up my list of must haves in a new set of tyres.

Anyone have a view on great performance and good rim protection.

Hi Jim,
The Bridgestones 050s and Michelin PS3s have good rim protection. The Continental 3s not so good as we have these on the Merc. I don't know about the rest, but Goodyears always seem to be pretty good, I believe.

I would say the Michelin PS3s have bad rim protection, I kerbed a front last year and hardly touched the kerb

I've actually carefully measured the rim protection of the PS3s. It's very good and far better than the ContiSport 3s. The Bridgestone RE 050As are teeeny, weeny bit better than the PS3s.
