Is it me - or is it sightly weird that there are so many variations; from the now ancient ContiSport2's (released in 2009 and I've  had ContiSport 3's since 2010 and ContiSport 5's from 2013), to PZeros, the Bridgestone S001's and the Dunlop SP Sportmax!  :sad:

I've got a set of the Bridgestone S001's on another car and they're amazing on a warm / dry surface - but a little snappy if it's streaming wet and you're applying full power when the diff hooks up with some lock on ....  :whistle:

In my personal experience the Michelin PS2 is a great all rounder (better than the PS3's under hard use) - but ideally the SuperSport is the one to try if you can get hold of them, like to go really fast and don't mind the price.
I think the "sweet spot" is probably going to be the Goodyear Eagle Assymetric 2's on a powerful front driver as they have a great balance and "feel" in either wet or dry conditions .... good traction and braking too.  :smiley:

Picked the Gti up yesterday and noted it had Continental Contisport 2's on it. Wouldn't be my first choice but we can live with them.

We had these from new on the wife's previous 2010 A3 Sline until I changed to Contisport 5's when they wore out. These were far better and available for £120 in 225 40 18 online.

As GiT1984 said, its strange that such old tech tyres are on a flagship model of a new tech car. No doubt down to cost!!

Picked mine up yesterday and it's shod with the Bridgestone Potenza S001s on its 18s.  Too early to tell what they'll be like but my MkVI before had Goodyear Eagle F1 assym 2s all round which were a great tyre so the new ones have a lot to live up to!

My PP on 18s came with Conti's - from what I've heard (and had Conti's as standard fit on my Astra VXR) they're the better of the 2 and more than happy with them.
