Looking at the reviews this new tyre seems to have surpass the test for UUHP tyres on wet grip, dry grip, handling and road feedback.......

All hail the new king! Might not be available below 19 though. Should have included the new F1A6 and PS5. Seems like F1A is actuslly becoming the better alrounder choice than F1SS after seeing twice the F1SS struggled in the wet in his previous test too with only the first test it was somehow fast in the wet.

Yah, in a way, F1SS seems to have gone into extreme category, nearer to F1SSR and RS

Last time in the first test, the F1SS was like this new CSC7, much quicker in the wet than PS4S yet about as fast in the dry too. Now somehow it has lost the wet performance but not really much faster in the dry too. Jon though said it's excellent on track and don't show much wear so yeah, looks like in further development GY focuses it more for dry track performance stability at the expense of wet performance.

Sometimes different tyre sizes, different car especially setup, can have different results. Last time read a review on the same tyres, tested on RWD and FWD gave different results....
