I vote for Asymmetric 2 but you need to put them on the rear and put your rears at the front for stable handling. Scrub in for the Asymmetrics' is around 500-1000 miles.

Nonsense... Goodyear F1 Assy2s will run rings around PS3s. The PS3 is a hard compound tyre...

Running Goodyear Asymmetric 2's all round on my GTI and really rate them.  They get my vote!

Another vote for Assy 2's  :happy2: much better in the dry and wet (and quieter) than the Bridgestone potenza's that are on the new wheels...

Having used both i can quite confidently say not a cat in hells chance! GY Assym 2 are a lot better than PS3 by some margin. That's not me saying PS3 are a bad tyre as they aren't. It's the A2 are better.
