Although I'm still running PS3's the F1 asymmetrical's are my top choice. Ran PS2's on my old MK5 GTI and the difference in grip with the F1's was clear. A little soft in the corners though for some, with little side wall stiffening, but quite predictable. The PS3's are quieter but not as good in the wet IMO. Wearwise, I got 2yr out of the F1's so around 20,000 with some spirited driving, and the PS3's are wearing a little quicker, but the 40bhp extra and heavier front end wont be helping, as ED30 and DSG box...backs are still okay after 20,000 and look similar now to the fronts, at around 5mm HTH
