Pilot Sport 3 all the way. Great levels of grip and comfort plus fantastic wear rate. I got about 29000 miles out of my last set switching front to rear. I also recommend Toyo T1 sports as a brilliant tyre to have and can be had for £82 a corner from ETS tyres.

Its not bad but you don't get much protection on any low profile tyre 45 or less.

I keep hearing good things about Goodyear EfficiencyGrip so will be opting for those when I need to change.

I've had these fitted yesterday and seem great in dry and wet, cheapest place was asda tyres online but my local vw dealer price matched and did a collection and delivery too

The missus has these on her MK6 TDI. Very good wear rate, plenty of grip wet and dry, and quiet too.
At first I thought they were a bit noisier than my Assy2s but I think they got a bit quieter and the Assy 2s seem a bit noisier now....

My Ed30 has these on at the mo. They're ok, don't think they are as good as Assy 2's though

I've just got michelin ps3's on my ed 30 but I've had several sets or vredestien sessantas on my other 200+ bhp front wheel drive cars  and they are a great tyre especially in the wet.

You need to add Avon ZZ5, I'm really impressed would put them on par with eagle F1 or even better!

just a heads up - received a the new Costco Voucher book. There is a £50 discount offer on a set of 4 Michelin PS3 (fitted). The offer applies to other models in the Michelin range also. Discount starts on the 9th June.

Hope this helps
