Same brand for all four

For assys??

Thought £120 per corner was a good deal.

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.

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

.........true but if you'r happy with the brand then no problem + you should always have the most tread on the rear tyres.

I'll trust in my ESP.

What are the general prices of tyres for the GTI, when you have 18" alloys?
Is it around the £120 per tyre mark?

Why is it important to have the most tread at the rear?  Is it not more important to have more grip at the front, for acceleration and braking?

Means your car is less likely to lose grip at the back and spin out.
So what you lose in sharp handling at the front, you gain by having a more sure-footed rear end

That's why they invented ESP.  The back end just does not fly out as in cars of yore.

Hmm, I had the back end of my Ibiza Cupra out a few times and that had ESP!  I also had a major sideways moment in my mums MX-5 when hooning that about, the back end stepped out before ESP could even think about it.

ESP or not, you can still spin a mk5 GTi.
Also, you'll find older cars' back ends don't 'just fly out' either
