What tyres have people been getting with the 19' Glendales?

Waiting on my Edi 35 at the moment, think its now in Emden and hadn't really given a thought to tyres until now.  Had Conti SC 3's on my Edition 30 which have been fine. By the sounds of it, people none to happy with the Dunlops?!?

I have Pirelli PZero on the Glendales and these are great, having the 19" over the 18" makes a huge difference in turn in and the front end feels much more planted. Can be a bit noisey on concrete roads (however dont know of any tyre which isnt) but apart from that I really like them in both dry and wet, no issues with grip  :smiley:

I had Michelin Pilot Sport 2 on my ED30 which were excellent all round and Dunlop Sport Maxx on my MK6 with 18" and I have no complaints about these for the 2.5 years I had the MK6 but not as good as the Michelin or Pirelli's but I would not say they were bad.

Not glendale's but had dunlops fitted on my 19" talladega's.

Took them straight off and sold them on the R forum.
Replaced them with Goodyear F1 asymmetric 2's for a little bit more, miles better!  :smiley:

I've got Brigestones on mine.

14k done and just had a service. 7mm on the Rear, 5mm on the font. They are wearing well!

Conti sport 3 on my ED30. Great step up from the Vred ultrac sesanta that were on before.

Bridgestone on mine, I had the RE050a's on the clio and I found them quite a good tyre, not the best grip overall but quite hard wearing.
