ps if everyone just used the search function all info would never get updated and the forum would be even more boring than it already is now

dunno why its so hard for everyone just to say "im using these" or "these are good value"

The goodyear f1 asymmetric 2's seem to be a big winner amongst the MK6 community, a fair amount of us have got them now or have had them in the past...and yes the rubber will be expensive but like anything, you get what you pay for....

Thats a fair comment and does apply to most topics but Tyres are the one thing that has literally been discussed over and over, i'll guarantee the info is not out of date as it's brought up every other week.

pilot sport 3, simply the best allrounder there is. 'nough said

Outright grip & dry performance yet durable - Michelin Pilot Super Sport
Excellent wet performance but fast wearing - Continental Sport Contact 5P
All-rounder, somewhere between those two - Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2

These represent the current cream of the crop when it comes to road tyres. You can't go wrong with any of them.
