Tyre options for the GTI only

[cheets7]

Hi all! New tyres will soon be needed and as you know the SS001'sare not an option as they are awful! Options i am considering are.
Good year eagle f1 asymmetrical 2
Michelin pilot sport 3
Continental contisport 5

I had the pilot sport 3 on my Megane RS and they were great! I will not consider any other tyre. Anyone running these? 

Thanks!

I had the F1 on my Scirocco until I sold it last week - really liked them. They had quite a wide profile on my Scirocco wheels, which might help prevent the odd parking scuff. Is anyone running them on a GTI and finding that they have a similarly nice wide profile?

Didn't keep them long enough to comment on wear, but they seemed to grip well (admittedly they replaced some other tyres I was quite disappointed with, so not a fair comparison).

Always been a fan of Michelin PS3s, and Costco (if you are a member) do cracking deals on them. They are fully fitted for under £120 a corner and I would be very wary of some of the tyre monkeys elsewhere wrecking the wheel rim. Right now they are offering £30 Costco voucher for a pair or £70 for all 4. The Bridgestones are truly sh!te for initial grip in the dry and wet, I have suffered them on mine for a year now because i'm too tight to bin unworn tyres.

I'll be contis or michelins whichever is on offer at the time.

At tyres-pneus-online.co.uk they are saying the GY-A1-F2's have been improved with a new formula.

Fuel rating goes from E to C

What about some Pilot Super Sports especially if you are going to run winter wheels and go for some proper performance tyres

Would go for Michelin PS3. Have a set on my Megane and they are really good and silent.

I'm buying new ones soon. Getting a pair of Goodyear Eagle F1's Asymmetric 2 for the front.

The only problem with Goodyear is they are a soft compound and don't last that long.
