Had 2 new GY AS3's fitted on the rears today.

£170 fitted.

Ablefit in Bristol...:)

They have made all the difference after replacing them from some nearly worn pirellis.

Supersports are fantastic. Goodyears sidewalls are soft. They grip yes, but they make the car feel horrid
I found the same. I've had PSS on the front only. Not yet had the pleasure of having them all round. Loved the PS2 over the F1 tyres.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I've just ordered two from Camskill in 225/40/18 for £160 delivered. Never had a problem experience with soft sidewalls on F1's, then again I've always purchased 'XL' rated ones.

Iv just ordered 2 asym3 to be fitted on Saturday (£176 fitted)

mpss are great and I will buy again but more likely try the cup2's, trying the GY's as my annual mileage this year will be close to 14kmiles and the mpss barely lasted 10kmiles

I'll have a full set of boots (GY asym3) on by the middle of March, I dhave not expect them to be as grippy or have the turn in and feedback of the mpss, but looking forward to trying them out .

I rated the asym 2 highly on my 130i

Cup2s are literally a summer tyre only!!  Cold, damp, rain.....yeah, you could be in for some dicey moments!  SuperSports are a better all rounder, and maybe the PS4s, but it's early days on the latter.

Anyone got any feedback on the Assym 3s yet?  Assym 2s are absolutely useless this time of year, not that I expected winter tyre performance from them, but they're completely rubbish in the cold.  Or maybe I just drive too fast.

They'd be on a second set of rims for weekend hoon/trackdays only, they wouldn't last a summer otherwise,

Big fan of the Asy 2 F1's. Second time round I've put them on all round. Had Avon ZZ3's, Proxes T1R's, Falken 452's & 453's, P Zero Rosso's and they're easily better than all of them, the only tyres that were on the same level were Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta, but they were £130 a corner when I had them and I buy Asy 2's now for £80 a pop.

Would be intrigued to see how the Asy 3's fair...

I'm impressed with them,I was worried they'd ruin the handling/feel, but there quiet,plenty o grip and the turn in and lateral grip is good when pushing on.

Got 4 of those fitted today and so far so good.  Done about 100 dry miles on them already!  Sometimes new tyres feel a bit squishy/slimey until they're scrubbed in, but these felt great from the get go.  No release agents on them.

Ride quality about the same as the F1 over general bumps and lumps but somehow less harsh over ruts, broken tarmac, speed humps etc which is awesome given the stiffer sidewalls.

Self centering is much stronger, better turn-in, less tramlining and tonnes of grip.  Very happy with them so far.  Will report back once I've tried them in the wet.

Sounds good! I'm test fitting tomorrow as think may need to roll the front arches without scrubbing.
