I just thought that I would give a quick review of the aforementioned tyres.
I have had them on the car now for approximately 600 miles and they replaced my previous favourites, Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD 3.
All I can say is that the improvement from the Goodyears is remarkable. The dry grip and wet grip is noteably improved as well as reduced road noise. These tyres allow you to corner much faster and the bite is very pronounced. Overall the tyres have greatly improved the handling characterstics of the car, to the extent that it actually feels like a different car altogether! Another important factor, after going through 2 sets of the Goodyear's is that the Michelin's are rated to last a lot longer. The GSD3's really wear out fast due to their softer compound. In relation to this, I've found that tyre manufacturers have now managed to make newer premium sport tyres last longer on .
I would highly recommend these tyres on the MK4 Golf, especially on one like mine, GTI AGU 1.8T. My tyre size is 205/55 R16.
I also drive a Subaru and have observed that a certain brand of tyre will perform differently accross varying car makes. The Goodyears are undoubtebly the best tyres on a Subaru, but IMHO, the Michelins are better for a MK4 Golf.

I had pilot sport 3s on the back of mine we pinched off my mates mk5 when we traded it in.
Also had eagle F1s on the front which I never really got to use properly before crashing.
Had Rainsports on the front of mine in 225/40/18 for the length of the tyre and they were a GOOD tyre. put up with 250bhp thorugh 2 wheels very good, wouldnt even spin in 2nd nailing it in the dry.

Hmmm ATS......After my last exploits with tyres there's only one place I'd get to supply and fit and I doubt they are one of the authorised suppliers :sad: Useful links for others though :afro:

I need new tyres up front. Always been an Eagle F1 user.
I'll give these Pilot Sport 3's a try and if I don't like them, then I'm holding you accountable.
