Be interesting to see what you think to the new rubber! I'm gunna go for supersports or some semi slicks for summer this year :D

[Orc]

You used these before Rich?

[rdfcpete]

How do you anticipate they'll be on a stage 2 Edition 30 in the wet Rich, the same as most other top end tyres or are they one of these 'super performer in the dry, but be ginger on the throttle in the wet' tyres? 

[rich83]

Not used them before, but know folk who have and rated them.

I am expecting them to be a bit worse in the wet but better in the dry. I love trying new tyres out and as these worked out at 180 for the pair I am willing to take on for the team and try them out. Im gonna get 2 more in feb... probably get my wheels refurbed in a darker colour too....

On a related note Rich, how do you find the Supersports now the temps are dropping, in the dry?

hard to be objective as my fronts are on the limit. But they are not great, but I dont think any worse than any other performance tyre. Ive never lost traction in a bend in the wet though.

Yep, pretty much what I've found. Good laterally in all conditions, but not so good at coping with full boost in lower gears in a straight line if it's cold, even in the dry.

I'm hoping an anti-lift kit cures this as much as the good reviews suggest!

[rich83]

Hmmm.. don't count on it.

It will reduce the wheel hop but not cure. You'll have better front axle traction on corners. It's a must have upgrade really for any mk5/mk6 Golf.

Any reduction is welcome!

I put Ferodo DS2500 in my R32 rear brakes. So far they're doing well. Just 1000 km...

[rich83]

Yeah those are an option. might just stick with the Brembo HP2000 as that what I have now

[Shoduchi]

Yeah, those should be equivalent AFAIK and are street legal.
