Do any of you have really awful tyres on your GTI?
Not just bald good ones but tyres that are rubbish from the start.

It might help others to avoid duffers.

Dunlop Sportmaxx!!!!!

I'm just joking, I don't want to start another 6 page monster thread

I was thinking of peculiar brands like Sunshine.
The sort you sometimes get when you buy secondhand.
All the oem tyres fitted by VW should be OK.

Get something better then, Goodyear F1 assy's are in another league to conti2's which mine came with.  Probably similar in price also

[matthewsimone]

yeah i no what your saying winrya but want to have same tyres all round and the conti2s on rear are virtualy new lol and not keen on mixed tyre brands to be honest so il prob let the new set run down together then change all 4 to f1s or similar cheers though matey,
anything has to be better than these hero tyres i have at mo

That's why they try to force you to put new tyres on the back.  So all four don't wear out together and you'll change brand.

ABS and ESP sorted out massive oversteer in the wet years ago.  I always put my new tyres on the front that way all 4 wear down together and I have the pleasure of plenty of grip where I need it.

I always have the same tyres all round but when the front need changing,the ''old'' rears go on the front & the ''new'' rubber goes on the rear.

sorry but thats not right, i had conti2 then 3 and got eagle f1's now and they are the same, as in there is no difference in performance trust me with the mileage i do and where i travel i.e. roads that are bendy etc you notice and both are equally as good!

That way they have you hooked to their brand.
Clever.
