Golf GTI Tyres
« on: 01 February 2010, 14:39 »
Hi All

First of all id like to congratulate you on such a good forum... The section of reccomended garages is a brilliant idea!!!!

Im looking to replace my two front tyres on my Mk5 GTI... I hit a pot hole the other day and one has a massive bulge out of the side

My question is what is the best tyre to buy for the golf?

Currently I have two continental sport 2's on it which since owning have been ok but i think the wheels spin a little to easily.

Any advice would be greatly welcomed

OMG , you started something now on here???? Wellcome to the forum, there are so many argumnets about this issue on here!! At the moment i have GYF1's on the front and they useless as a winter tyre IMO, so swapped them round to the back for the Dulop's which have been much better, but not as good F1's in the rain!! I found GYf1's dont last very long on my ED30, so me personaly I would go for the PS2's or PS3 Michlin all the way!! Hope this helps , but they are pricy but worth it in the long run.

 :wink: I find the Goodyear's overrated on this forum????  :evil:

Ill have a look at this thread you mentioned

Also another question:

I may well do - when are they scheduled to be changed? At around 60,000 miles?

I noticed you are in Croydon - where do you get your tyres from?

Vredestein Assym tyres are bar far the Best Value for money. Payed £91 each, Better the Ps2's in some Customer Reviews. Perform the same as the Michelin's for a third less in cost.

I have fitted Vredesteins on mine, and think they are superb, quiet and great traction.
