When you read tyre reviews Bridgey's are constantly at the bottom, including when some budget tyres are thrown in.

There'll probably be a new tyre out by the time mine comes though!

Really surprised the Re050A's get such a slating on here, seem to work well on the Leon and were great on my old Integra Type-R.

I've only run them on my Leon FR when I got that and didn't like anything about them to be honest, but different people drive differently, and they are still on the market so some people must like them!

Very true, will definitely give the eagle Assymetrics 2's a go on the Golf when the Dunlops are ready for a change :smiley:

F1's are a great tyre, and a fare few of us have them on here...

Had Dunlops on my previous MK6 and I thought they were OK. I have Pirelli's on my ED35 from the factory and these are better than the Dunlops.
Current: GTI Edition 35 Candy White 5dr DSG 19" Glendale, RCD510+DAB, Dynaudio, Storage Pack, Parking Sensors

Gone: Edition 35, GTI Mk6, Edition 30, GTI Mk4, GTI Mk3, GTI Mk2 and my favourite the UR quattro
For those that dont know DSG is an electronically controlled dual-clutch multiple-shaft manual gearbox

A few weeks ago I replaced all 4 Dunplops for F1 Asymetric 2's and they feel loads better, that horrible road noise has gone completely.

The Goodyear's must be good, apparently the factory are struggling to keep up with demand at the moment. May have something to do with everyone coming off winter tyres also though.
