Try www.mytyres.co.uk & have a look at the vredestein sessanta.

ok and?

they seem kinda cheap... at 90 odd quid, look ok, but hows the drive?

I've not heard of this brand before, are they supposed to be any good?.........i got 4 about 5 weeks ago for my edition 30 alloys & for the money they are great,grip well in the wet & are perfect in the dry.And as other posts have done very well in test's.

Hi all, I have the Continental Sport Contact 3s... road noise rather loud but no problems with the grip on dry or very wet. Seems fine, feel like the car is planted at speeds up to 120 - 130 km/h... And I have included a picture of it below. Sorry for it being dirty... Will do a thorough cleaning this weekend.

Saw mine today, It arrived at dealers this morning. Ive been mugged off with the dunlops lol, Raised a point and basically salesmen told me he carn't do anything with them as they are used tyres And carn't take them back.... I went on to say I aint even driven the car...

I've ended up with the Dunlops, they don't feel bad in comparison to the Pirellis on the Scirocco.

Pirellis are both extremely shyte and very dangerous.  I had P-Zero Rossos as factory fit on my RS4 - and had to ditch them after 4k miles.  They really are lethal.  Many other RS4 owners complained about them too.

thats a pretty broad statement.  which pirellis in particular are you referring to?  Golf put out a special edition for goodness sake!



edit:  i'm clearly pretty sleepy this morning!

I had P Zero Rosso's on my Scirocco and my A4 and they were good tyres if a bit soft so wear quite quickly.  I have the Dunlops on the golf and despite the criticisms of them I can't fault them at all.

That was the same with the MK5 - just luck of the draw.

If anyone ends up with the dunlops - bin them or insist the dealer changes them.  They are shyte.

i would not agree with that mate i had the dunlop sport maxx sp on my nurburgring astra and they seemed top notch

Which? Magazine test results:

Michelin Pilot Sport PS 2 - 73% (Class leader for dry braking and dry handling)

Continental SportContact 3 - 70% (Class leader for dry braking and dry handling)

Bridgestone Potenza RE050 A - 68% (Class leader for dry braking and dry handling)

BFGoodrich G-Force Profiler - 68% (Pros: Class leader for dry braking and dry handling; Cons: Slightly noisier than others in this size. Hard to find)

They're all actually very close. I dont think it's worth worrying about.
