I had V12's on my Leon FR and they were OK!
In the past I've had Continental Contact Sport's which were good in the dry or wet but useless in the damp and wore very quickly.
Dunlops have always been good for me in the past.

But the Goodyear's F1's I have now have been very good in any condition and the wear has been pretty good so far. They ain't cheap though!! :scared:

I've been using Hankook Ventus V12's and have been very pleased with them. Overall grip is good. Excellent in the dry but come unstuck a little in straight lineaacceleration. But I do have a million torques. Alex had these on his Vrs and I have never experienced handling like it. Obviously he has a few more handling mods than me but thought I'd give them a go and have been impressed.
going to put the hankooks on mine next

My experience was similar with the V12's, Matt, until 3mm or so. I don't know how you found them after that, but the grip seemed to fall away quickly after 3mm of tread left. I saw Alex a few times over the period of having them fitted while he ran them on his vRS and he seemed to find the same thing  :happy2:

Vote for Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's for me, I don't think I'd buy anything other than a Pilot Sport PS2 or PS3 again for a while and they're worth a bit more. I'm impressed (yet again) as an all rounder.

I've got vreds at the moment and to be honest, I don't really rate them at all they are decent in the wet but pretty average in the dry. They came with the wheels I've got and were brand new so I'm just going to run them until they are done.

Previously I've had the contis and I thought those were a good tyre, however I think I'll go for the supersports all round this time if I can source them otherwise I'll be going for the f1s as I've not run those in the updated design and they seem to be getting good reviews

I've always had Avon zz3s. Not really a premium tyre but I like them .

 They are quite soft and offer good grip wet/dry but don't last the long:)

Had nankangs on my a3 tdi sport and the slightest hint of moisture would have them spinning. Bloody things wouldn't wear out either as they were effectively plastic!

I'd agree, good tyres, not a fortune either. Not so forgiving in the wet i think. But as with any tyre to a degree i suppose.

I rate the GY ASY2, particularly in the wet although I am interested in the Pilot Super Sport which appears highly regarded.

For 235/35/19 fitment, GY ASY2 £183 per corner vs £212 per corner on Black Circles as of today (Fitted).
