grippy road tyres??
« on: June 17, 2019, 02:09:41 pm »
hi guys

Just had first MOT done in the relatively short ownership of my GTI, it flew through as I expected but a couple of the tyres are nearing their limit.

What would people recommend I get when buying new tyres? I wont be doing any track driving but plenty of fast A & B road driving. I'm looking for something that's equally as good in the wet and dry, summer & winter, also looking for something with a bit of durability so I can get plenty of life out of them. Not asking much right? haha! Reason I want something to do a bit of everything is my budget simply wont stretch to having summer and winter tyres.

any recommendations will be greatly appreciated!!

cheers!!

I vouch for Michelin Pilot Sport 4’s. Incredible tyres, changes the whole car.

From all the reviews I’ve read on here... the next set of tyres I buy will be Michelin PS4’s

Having searched on the forum the general consensus seems to point towards the Michelins, quick search had them at £104 per corner but found them for £90 after some further digging...not too bad!

Like I said Bridgestones are marmite but I really rate them and I am not a Mr slow!

Michelin Pilot Sport 4's as well. There are similar performing tyres but as an all round they are great.

Moved from continental to PS4 about 4 years ago.Very similar tyres but Costco usually have the PS4's on offer so i have stuck with them.

Btw those of you who have PS4’s.. How long do they tend to last? I just got mine on like a month ago and tread seems to be getting eaten  :smiley:
