Dunlop S*** max!! The one good point about these tyres very good snow!! :cool:
-
Potenza's are really grippy and lasted well, but I thought the ride was choppy and they were noisy as f00k.
Ran them for a year - didn't like them.

Potenzas on mine.
Ride is fine but they seem noisy at speed.
-
Potenzas as well
Cannot comment on the noise as I have not been in a GTI with another tyre brand.. :undecided:

Continental Sport Contact2
/HÃ¥kan
-
Conti`s on my GTD
-
I'm going to get mine in 2 weeks. Hoping for Continental Sport Contact2 which the dealer said I'd be getting.
-
Bridgestones here too. No complaints.
Rolfe.
-
My car came with Bridgestone as well. I also find it a bit on the noisy side. I might go for Michelin (Costco Inc. filling it up with nitrogen) when my tyres gone down to 3mm!

They are just a hot weather tyre I believe ?

Pirelli P Zero Rossos, but I didn't get the Monzas.

Ahh, I take it these will be your summer tyres and you have seperate winter ones ?

As I ordered VW Vision alloys this aloud me to have tyers of choice
Goodyear F1 Asymmetric. Having read Auto car and Auto express reviews on tyers it was clear that they were for me. I am keeping the 17' wheels the GTI comes with for winter tyers in the dark months thus keeping the Visions in good condition while the winter tyers will keep me safe
-
Bridgestone Potenza
Not sure what number version as there is quite a few versions of them.
-
Continental Contacts
Will be changing them to another brand as soon as i burn through them.
Grip in the wet is pants
Spins in 3rd at 30mph

Dunlops on mine, don't know what all the fuss is about, they were very good. Just replaced the fronts with Michy PS3 and don't notice any difference.

how much did you pay for the michys gossa? They should last a lot longer than the dunlops!!
-
Dunlop on mine no problems wet or dry.

Gossa you must drive like my grandad mate hahaha You saying there isnt any problems corning with the dunlops? :rolleyes:
-
Bridgestone Potenzas on mine, no problems so far they seem fine enough on wet and dry roads and I don't notice a lot of noise.
Gizzy
-
Mine are quite noisy but it depends on the road surface and mine still are so new they have the lines still on them :grin: So they may get better with time.

Nope, my car was the first to be revo'd and is putting out 270+ and I drive it like I flippin well nicked it. It's called 'placebo' Steve; someone cool once said on a forum that Dunlops were sh1te and so everyone follows like sheep, baaaahhhhh!!!!
I can feel the difference in a tyre, I had PZero Rossos on the Scirocco and I could feel that were soft, always felt like they were running too little pressure but they felt cr@p. The Dunlops have been fine, even good and the holy grail Michelins (£150 a corner BTW) don't feel any better even in the wet which is where they are supposed to shine. I also think the Dunlops beat the Michys in the Evo tyre test didn't they?
So Steve, are you a sheep mate???? :grin:

Well said mate hahaha I think your mistaking me for Kev, he likes sheep he's always floating around the highlands, on the look out with his wellies on!!
To be fair Gossa the dunlops were good in the winter mate esp in the snow I found them very good. But when it comes to corning in the wet not so good not as planted!! :laugh:
-
Gossa I put up pictures of my dunlops and the uneven wearing across the tyre... this seems to be a common occurance with the Dunlops and borders on dangerous. I would never willingly buy the dunlops... thats down to personal experience.
I too thought the Dunflops were fine... that was until I tried another tyre :wink: :smiley:

Yep I've read that before mate and took it on board but my Dunlops on the front of the mk6 wore completely evenly, lasted ok, gripped fine and now having been replaced with the ultra desirable 'benchmark' tyre the new Michy Pilot Sport 3's, I can't tell any difference.
As I said in a previous post, it is possible Dunlop changed the tyres at some point but in my experience they were fine, no better than fine, they were good and as good as the Michelins. Next time around i'm going for the Vredesteins.

Gossa:
Is it ok to mix tyre brands?
-
Bridgestone Potenzas on mine - seem fine in both wet & dry conditions
My 3 series had michelin ps2's which were fine when new but very noisey when worn and at £210 for a rear 255/35/18 they were a bit pricey!

Gossa:
Is it ok to mix tyre brands?
put the best brand on the front, so yes! I had gyf1's on my ed30 and dunlops on the back ,no problems except as you know I didn't like the gy,s, so I put them on the back brilliant no problems!!

Gossa:
Is it ok to mix tyre brands?
Generally regarded Ok to mix brands but preferably keep them paired left and right and same level of wear.
