We have a 2009 A3 1.9tdi Sport. The tyres are 225/45/17 91V. I need a new set of 4 tyres and the goodyear Eagle F1 Asymetic 2s seem the best at the moment and good value too. The thing is the extraload tyres in the goodyear range (225/45/17 94Y XL) are slightly cheaper than those that are...

Mine was my old 2000 forf puma racing - boy I loved that girl - had to sell her to raise deposit for my first flat.
