After much deliberating and research I have ordered 4 new tyres for my 2.0TDI Sportback s-line. The Conti's have been pretty good to be fair and there's still about 4-5mm on the rears and 3-4mm on the fronts (although swapped them around recently) having covered 21k miles.
I was pretty sure I would order the Goodyear Eagle F1 ASY2 or Dunlop Sportmaxx RT, but I've thrown a total swerve ball and ordered Vredestein Ultrac Vorti's. They're classed as an ultra high performance summer tyre on a similar level to Pilot Super Sports. The best bit is they've cost me £340 + £40 fitting for all 4, which I think is an absolute bargain. Ordered from Jungle Tyres and having them fitted tomorrow at my local tyre fitters.
I challenge you to find a bad review on these tyres anywhere on the internet. Auto Express are a little indifferent, but still pretty good but I think their tests are a load of s**t anyway. Tyrereviews.co.uk rate them highly and so do many other forums.

I'm planning on selling my Conti's on ebay as part worns, so should hopefully recoup a £100ish. If anyone's interested in them BTW them send me a PM. Not sure the exact tread on them, but will measure tomorrow once they're off the car.
I'll try and update this thread regularly.
