New Tyres - Views Sought

[Jimmymature]

Hi gents, I know most haven’t changed their tyres yet but would appreciate advice if you have.  I am replacing my rear tyres as the noise made by the uneven tyre wear is getting on my t1ts.

I'm looking at Conti Sport 5, Michelin PS3, Goodyear Asymmetric 2 and Bridgestone Potenza.  Any experiences would be appreciate (good & bad)


Cheers,


Jim

all good tyres mate but i would find out whats causing the uneven tyre wear 1st before you stick other tyres on it

Asker Am1W has a tyre thread in the maintenace section.

Bridgestone potenza are very noisy imo.

Continentals the older version can start to crack after years of use so not great if you do low miles.

I would go for one of the other two if it was me. I have Goodyear NCT2 on one of my other cars and rate them highly.

It's a known issue with Dunlop's, I've also spoken with the tyre fitter who also mentioned that it's a know issue.  The sound is like wheel bearings.....

Dunlops are known to go blocky and so become loud.

+1 Recently had the latest Goodyear Asymmetric's fitted on mine and they are absolutaly brilliant tyres. I can't recommended them enough.

Snap.
F1 Asymmetrics and they are very good indeed.
Quiet enough, decent wet grip, impressive dry grip, good turn in, no squealing or turtured noises and the wear rate is impressive for such a grippy tyre.
They certainlty seem to suit the Golf chassis.

The only warning, is that as the temperature trops - say under 5 degrees - they are abysmal.
But that's in common with all high preformance summer tyres.

Are these the Asymmetric or Asymmetrics 2's? My local fitter doesnt have the 2's in stock.

I now have Goodyear Asymmetric 2's and they are wonderful in every way
