Have tried Bridgestone, Good Year and now continental in only 4 month and 3000km. 

Hope this is the right choice.. Didn´t dare to go to the Michelin PS4 because of the roadnoice..

So Got the EVO winner , Conti 6!

Another excellent video Wide and your car looking as well presented as ever So what is your conclusion on the Conti 6? I will be changing all 4 tyres soon and was sold on the new Pirellis, have been recently swayed to the PS4S and now the Continentals which were my original choice before the Pirellis did so well on a test.

I am running Goodyear Asymmetric 3 on 18" rims. I much prefer them to the Michelin Super Sport I was running previously on 19" Santiagos, much less tramping.

Not suffered any vibration problems with the Goodyears.

Can't comment on PS4, but PS4S are very noticeably quieter than Conti 5Ps so if Conti 6 are the same as 5Ps in the noise stakes, then they will be noisier than PS4S.

Thanks! 

I think the Conti is great!, i thought they would be to loud, but it is not as i was expected  .
And the feeling is great, much better than the Potenza ande the Good year..

The PS4S is probably the better Track tire, but i want some comfort to..

I think i will bye some R tires to later ..

What is tramping?  . I liked the Goodyear but i had problem

But i don´t know if it was the tires. I got new wheels and tires on warrenty

I had Conti 5 on my Mk7, and think the Conti 6 is quiter.

But as i said, maybe the PS4S is better.. . I buy them next time if it´s the way..

If the Conti 6's are quieter then they'll likely be on a par noise wise with the PS4S.

What is tramping?  .

Tramping or wheel hop, sometimes happens under hard acceleration. I had it happen several times on my last car. The front of the car vibrates badly as the front tyres hop/spin and the car struggles to move forward.

The Golf has an anti-tramp feature. However, Bridgestone have managed to make tyres that will defeat it!

Did a long journey tonight, with 4 in the car. Shouting over the tyre roar was a PITA. Ordering 4 new PS4 tyres next week.

Daz Auto, hope you have a good tyre fitter you can trust not to damage your new diamond cut alloys when fitting your new tyres.
