Premium/Mid Range v Economy Tyres

As soon as I saw the title I could've guessed the replies. 😂

PS4 is the only tyre you should be considering.

Goodyear Eagle F1s are also a solid option.

I run the F1s. Nice tyres.

Likewise!
This thread was only ever going one way

A good mid range tyre i'd recommend is Cooper Zeon CS8. Had them on the back of my old E92, when you floored it you could feel the back end grip and squat. Great feeling when you push it out of a bend. A mate of mine had them on his Z4 35is and told me about them

Another +1 for the Eagles.  I've had the PS4s too, but I like the wet performance of the Eagles, which to be fair in this country is most of the time

I currently have a set of Flakerns on my GTI .Im pleased with them to date for the price as I needed 4 however I don't push it to the limit ( or cant ) Some tyre outlets seem very happy to promote budget tyres as a medium tyre. Buyer beware

I have PS4’s on the front. I’m pleased with the grip. Especially reducing tramping but they do seem to wear very quickly and I don’t drive hard.

+1 I have the same and they are very good

Not noticed the ps4 wear any worse than others. The sport contact 5 does wear worse though. Good tyres though for grip.

I recently put Michelin PS4S on my 2019 PP when I got a set of Brescias to replace my Parkers.

Had no idea how much better the car could be. No more tramping, better ride and comfort. Better handling. It’s transformed the car.

Don't have my GTI long enough to comment on it specifically but precisely owned an audi TT which was always shod with Pirelli p zeros which I found excellent if a little soft wearing. Shortly before I sold it I stuck 4 budget tyres on it cos I knew i was changing it... It went from being a cat I really enjoyed driving to one I dreaded getting into every day. Grip was atrocious wet & dry and led to many butt clenching moments. Lesson learned!!
Also have experience with F1's which were great wet or dry.  My GTI came with 4 new p zeros & hair enough with them so far but getting used to the car. Might look at the michelins after these going by this thread.
Either way long story short.... Don't go budget, you will regret it. Even if you don't meet the ditch you'll hate the driving experience.
