Be lucky if I have done 1k in it mate, it's the wife's! Got a great deal on it and the GTI was more expensive. :P

Have they work evenly? And go with michelins if you want tyres to last longer :) front wheel drive diesels with lots of torque do chew through tyres though

Passenger side is worse which is understandable given the amount of roundabouts where I live. I called VW yesterday and they say they use 3 different tyre manufacturers to keep the prices competitive, pot luck what your car comes with I guess.
I had michelins on my mk5 GTI and they were excellent Mitch, I was actually thinking about buying the PS3's in the for sale section before they sold.
J400uk:
That does sound like excessive wear. Got mine in June and its just coming up to 7500 miles, tyres still looking pretty fresh.
too hot:
Ours is the same GTD 10k miles and two fronts on the wear limits.
Mine came with 19" Dunlops Sport Maxxs !
