I can’t help but suspect you are massively overthinking this. In test track conditions, with accurate data gathering equipment, and a skilled driver, you may discern a marginal difference between equivalent tyres from the major brands. Goodyear all season on my car. They’re round, black, hold air and uneventfully get me up and down the country.
Yes, correct, but it'll take a lot of us to advise advice that won't be taken anyway.

Sometimes it takes a bit of time to think things through and putting them down in words (or on a forum) helps to make a decision. I am sure the OP wil get where he wants,

Car have several modes and variable suspention sport , comfort sport + etcs...
Not really relevant as none of the modes change how heavy the car is or how much power it has.
of course since its over 300hp you cant drive it with 10miles specially on highway
Don't understand this statement?
i drive it hard and fast thats normal for fast car. I dont keep car at sport or sport + all the time only when i need to pass someone fast. other than that i am using normal or comfort mode...
Sport mode may make the car react quicker but that will make virtually no difference to the stresses being applied to the tyre. I'm also not sure I'd agree that it is "normal" to drive a fast car hard and fast.
there is a good difference in performance in stoping in aqua planing , in wet and in dry braking with all of these brands
There can be a big difference in braking, accelerating and cornering performance in wet and/or cold conditions between premium brands and cheap Chinese tyres, but not between premium brands themselves (assuming the tyres are competing directly with each other, rather than one being specifically designed to excel in wet conditions). However, any performance advantage premium tyres have over cheap Chinese ones in warm and dry conditions is much smaller.
As for aquaplaning, that has less to do with how cheap or otherwise the tyre is and more to do with tread depth and how well the tread design can disperse water.
currently car have brand new chinese tyres this is how i bought it but i dont like them they are dangerous, they cant climb even, steep hill. so i plan to throw them or donate them.
If the road surface is unpaved, covered with loose chippings or the surface was wet and the tarmac was of particularly poor quality, i could see a powerful rwd car struggling to climb a steep hill (which wouldn't be the fault of the tyre) But I can't think why a tyre being cheap would make any difference to its ability to climb a steep hill in the dry?.
what tyres do you have currently?
Not relevant as I drive a 4wd diesel pickup (but Yokohama Geolanders if you are interested)

Aha, did i miss something BBD, pray tell about the pick up, of which i'm a fan of most, i thought you had the little Paggoni or whatever it was.
As for tyres, i too am on Yokos on my old Landcruiser, GO15 for anyone interested which have proved to be a thoroughly decent all rounder and would happily buy again.
Just like the OP i have electrically adjustable damping on the LC, which, yes you guessed it, includes a 'sport' setting :-) a veritable road rocket with its 1G cornering ability i tell you, not.

Combination of things GB.
1, The Piaggio has a mechanical problem. 2, SWMBO expressed concern as to how well I'd fare in an accident in said tiny truck (though to be fare, it was prying on my mind too!). 3, SWMBO will not be getting back behind the wheel of a car.
So it was decided that putting the Motability car back, retiring the Piaggio, and getting something which can be used both for my work and as a car would be the best way forward (and the Mobility payment will help with extra running costs).
But the pickup in question is a 2016 L200

Getting back to answering the question, this suggests that Michelin Pilot Sport 5 or Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is the best summer tyre.

Good choice BBD, we'll be comparing rustproofing techniques no doubt in further threads, my methods saw another straight non advisory MOT pass last week, tester reckons it'll go n for ever, so here's to another 20 years (more chance of seeing another 20 than me)
I'm much of the same opinion as your fair lady and yourself, need something fairly robust these days in the roads.

i drive car for Fun, and good times, i already have car with c***py bridgestone tyres with cracks where they are small in size and where i dont care much.
On steep hill, where my previous parking place was, trust me with chinese tyres even on completely summer days and dry car cant climb the hill, i requested tow truck to tow me....... and now i wait a little and i will finally get some decent tyres i am tired of chinese junk, everything from china is junk i order brand new cable and it brakes, i order blender brand new and it brakes or it doesnt work, so far not a single chinese thing is ok. for diesel and 4wd cars trucks tyres doesnt matter.
For rwd tyres are extremely important.

Other than what's already been said, I'd strongly suggest you visit the Tyre Reviews website:
www.tyrereviews.com/
Yes, it's European-biased for what's offered, but it is excellent in my view, very comprehensive, has its own tests, mirrors many tyre test from the top magazines (in Europe) and also has end-user reviews with ranked scores by car, tyre size, how the car is driven, etc, all of which may give some clue for your specific situation.
Note that the end-user reviews, and some extent scores they are based on overall, are obviously biased to some degree because us users will have biases, plus some people review them only after a few thousand miles or they may have a very different car or driving style to yours - OR they may have had a bad personal experience with a tyre fitter outfit and that might put them off the tyres fitted to their car.
I would note that what works for one person or car doesn't for another. Equally, you can easily find a make that worked well matched to cars of a certain make, model or type (e.g. FWD /RWD/ 4x4) on a previously sold tyre from a brand, but doesn't any more, because they significantly changed the design of the tyre. Or the other way around.
I've experienced that myself, using tyres from the same make (at different times) on two cars, where one worked well, the other definitely did not. Even 'expensive' brands like Michelin can produce 'duffers' occasionally, including those with a manufacturing fault or where they were stored incorrectly by the tyre fitter.

Guys, if you do know of a tyre that grips the road like an ex wife to your wallet, is whisper quiet, costs pennies and lasts a 100,000 miles or ten years.
Do let me know as I'll buy some.
