ees three, having thought about that statement I checked my bills and I did have to buy a pair of tyres for the front when the car had done about 20k forgot about that but the rears did still have 2-3mm left when it was traded.  :embarrassed:

Goodyear Assy' 2's.

Loved them on my Leon FR compared to the Bridgestone's that were on. They gave better grip than the Dunlops on my ED35 now as well.

Will put them on the ED when they're due for changing.

I get 18k out a set of fronts on my Leon of he RE050As and the rears I changed at 38k with 4.5mm because of the sawtooth wear pattern making them noisy.

Definitely going for GYA2's on the Golf, just need to wear out the originals bit quicker...some dry roads and they won't last long  :evil:

23k on the original bridgestones RE050A and still at 4mm on the front. Hate them though. The noisiest tyre I have ever had and not that grippy in the wet. Always liked Michelins and on last car without traction control they were the best in damp conditions out of several different makes tried including Pirellis. Will go for Michelins when the time comes.
