Goodyear Asymmetric 2, recently fitted 4 to my GTI, super tyres and £130 a corner.


Jim

Get my vote too, fitted these and there great...I paid £485 fitted for all four which works out at £121.25 a corner...

Google them, you cud probably get them cheaper than I did :wink:

LMFAO  :laugh:

Had Pilot Sports on my ED30 from the factory brilliant. Had Dunlops and Conti's on MK6; average. Got P Zero's on ED35 from the factory awesome! These are 19's and are way better than 18's, the turn in and steering is transformed. Ride is harder but worth it!
Current: GTI Edition 35 Candy White 5dr DSG 19" Glendale, RCD510+DAB, Dynaudio, Storage Pack, Parking Sensors

Gone: Edition 35, GTI Mk6, Edition 30, GTI Mk4, GTI Mk3, GTI Mk2 and my favourite the UR quattro
For those that dont know DSG is an electronically controlled dual-clutch multiple-shaft manual gearbox

I have good years ass 2s now and there very good.

I think I might go back to conti sport 5s next though, if they don't have the pattern on the edge So they look crap after only half there life.
I don't believe in global warming, sorry.
