My car came with Bridgestone as well. I also find it a bit on the noisy side. I might go for Michelin (Costco Inc. filling it up with nitrogen) when my tyres gone down to 3mm!

They are just a hot weather tyre I believe ?

As I ordered VW Vision alloys this aloud me to have tyers of choice
Goodyear F1 Asymmetric. Having read Auto car and Auto express reviews on tyers it was clear that they were for me. I am keeping the 17' wheels the GTI comes with for winter tyers in the dark months thus keeping the Visions in good condition while the winter tyers will keep me safe
