The age old question - Tyres

[chip20]

I have had a reply from goodyear today.They have give me a 45% credit on each tyre.So can't complain at that

I have had Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric for 3 years and ~ 20k miles. I used them on the road and on the track (about 400 miles on the track).
+ good grip in the dry (PS3 have even better grip)
+ awesome grip in the wet (no. 1).
+ long lasting
- a bit noisy
- not fuel efficient
If you take the reinforced side wall you will loose points at comfort but gain some more stability.
I am really pleased with these tires and I will replace them with the same tires when it's time (now they have 5mm of thread remaining).

the Vredstein tyres have a good reputation on here,

Ill be trying them when i find them at a decent price, not going to pay 135 a corner from mytyres!!

Surely you'll be sensible and buy the new Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 tyres.

Well, I haven't seen any tests but if they are better than the previous version I will definitely take them into consideration.

I run Pirelli P Zero's on my Pirelli edition golf (the car has been mapped) and the grip and wear is excellent. I cannot spin the wheels in 3rd or above in the dry. Never drive it hard in the lower gears but anyone can spin the front tyres in any fwd car in 1st and 2nd irrespective of the power. I will happily replace with the same tyres again

If you were to put Michelin's finest  on there, would it be deemed similar to a partial service history?  And blasphemy!

I think it will invalidate your warranty too!

I'll give you further help as you seem to need it.

I'm on Pilot Sport 3's at the moment and loving them. Used to have the old V pattern Eagle F1's on my TT and they were fantastic to the point I was happy when it rained! Apart from a whiring noise on motorways - taking price into consideration they were the best Tyres I've had. Also had the Assemetric's but didn't rate them as highly in fact I was quite disappointed...
