F1 AS2

For the price, my Summer tyre on the GTI.

Another vote for the GYEF1's Assymmetric 2's - really happy with them. Changed all 4 approx 4 months ago and definately rate them!

Found the F1s sidewalls too soft.

Yeah same.  They made my old R32 feel awful tbh.  Swapping to Michelin was a good move.

Goodyears for me.

But I may try something different next time.  low rolling resistance and they lasted a while.  I don't hang around in my motor.
3 Door GTI Black, Cruise Control, DSG, Factory Tints, Folding Mirrors, Heated Seats, Highline Display, Leather, Monza II's, MFSW, Parking Sensors, Puddle Lights,  Xenons,

To be fitted....Bluetooth,DVB-T, MDI, RNS510, Stage one (opinions much appreciated)

I am on over 30k from my set of Eagle F1 asy2 and I am a bit of a hooligan.

I would go for Pilot Supersports but not available in my size (235/40) so probably going to try 245/40.
Although I'd love the Pirelli Trofeo Rs but at £1k for a set of 4.. no thanks! lol
