Very good review. Result not what I was expecting so worth a watch.
Mk6 GTI Carbon Grey, 2010 Bluetooth and voice fitted, a few VCDS mods still a comfortable family car. Red Scirocco 2011 twin charger stage 1 - enjoyable drive now gone.  White 2016 Polo GTI (roller skate on steroids) replaced with an Indium Grey 2019 7.5 GTI PP.

I hear you, yet it's slightly subjective on the basis that some of the tyres offer more interaction to a "driver" within the overall scores total.

As he says, there are no real losers and the top 3 were so close.

Having watched this and other reviews I am coming round to the Goodyear 6 as my next tyre, based on the driving characteristics and decent wheel rim protection.

Very good in-depth review, although important to note his change of attitude towards the Goodyear in 17inch to 18inch for those with 19's.

If you're choosing between the top 3 it's really much of a muchness, as the presenter will be more dialled in to the differences after 3 days of testing, I doubt any of us would really notice going from tyres on 3mm or below to brand new.

Just focus on the best price you can get.
Mk7.5 GTI - Performance Pack, DSG, Sunroof, Dynaudio, Pro Nav, Vienna Leather, Climate Windscreen & last of the 3 doors....Many Sets of Alloys...

Prev - Mk7.5 White Silver, Vienna Leather, Sunroof, Helix Sub, Many Wheels
