Good to see your wheel centres are properly aligned Ceefeesh!
DrG, nice subtle Clubsport badging, it addresses the issue VW neglected.
BillSan, a nice positive start with the Goodyears then. Knowing Potenzas the rears will last another 30k 😁
You were right about the Potenza's Exonian.
An update on my tyres as the CS is in for an oil service today.
The new Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6's which went on the front at the start of May are now worn to 5.3mm after about 7k miles. The Potenza S005's that were on the front for 20k miles and moved to the rear in May are now worn to 4.2mm.
It certainly looks like Potenza's are the VFM option, although the F1 AS6's make less noise and suit the car better IMO.
An update on tyres as I've just ordered a pair of F1 Asymmetric 6's (£197 incl fitting) for my Clubby.
* My original Potenza S005's lasted 21,000 miles on the front and were then replaced by F1 A6's.
* The original rear S005's are still going strong (now at 3.5-4.0mm) on the rear and have now done 33,000 miles. I think they'll get to c.43,000 before they're illegal at 1.6mm
* The F1 A6's I put on the front have now worn to 3.5-4.0mm and only managed 12,000 miles. I'll now move them to the rear and they should be good for another 10,000 miles maximum.
In summary: Potenza's last quite a bit longer, but are noisier and feel less grippy than F1 A6's.
Continental sport contact 7's get good reviews but I haven't tried them and don't know how they wear.
