I'm a bit stuck too. I currently have Pirelli P-Zero Rosso's all round. They have always seemed ok to me, great at motorway speeds in the wet, tend to wheelspin quite a bit when pulling away enthusiastically though :-)

The Rears are at 3.5-4mm so will need changing quite soon, the Fronts are at 5-6mm so probably fine for another 3-4 months. On Black Circles the Pirellis are £124 each and the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asy 2 are £126.

I know the Goodyears seem to be rated very highly on here, each thread about tyres seems to recommend them, will they be a lot better than the Pirellis? Much difference in life span? Seems worth a go at the price difference. Seen them for £108 on camskill with a free £10 fuel voucher, how would I go about getting these fitted as opposed to using black circles?

Thank you for your help!  :smiley:

I'll be going for Assy 2's when my front's finally need changing. Still got 4-5mm though.

Any of you guys using Assy2 riding on FSDs?

I am having real problems on my Mkv GTi - it squirms all over the road and tramlines, not sure if it is to be expected or whether I have a problem.
