Tyre change time!

Stick with PS2's IMHO - I tried PS3's on my edition 30 Golf and they were not as good in the dry as the PS2's I have on my S3.
I had continental contact sport 3's, loved every mile, last anywhere between 10-20k, I know that's a massive margin but depends if you drive hard everywhere, or just every now and then. I got about 15k out of the fronts and little more on the rear.
I just got two of these on the front of my tdi, £96 each fitted, cant grumble and are decent
I'll be needing 4 new tyres in the next few months and shall be purchasing these in the 225/45/17 guise.

What size tyre was this for and where did you have it done?
Same as yours mate, I had them done at my local tyre place in Birmingham.
Try Blackcircles.com, find the tyre and see if theres a local fitter to you and see if they can do it any cheaper for you
Hello A6CR,
Would you be able to give me some more information whether you're looking for sport/premium tyres? What kind of budget do you have in mind?
The Michelin PS2 is a very good tyre with excellent longevity and good wear. It's about average for breaking on wet ground but this is a point the PS3 has improved on so I would suggest a look at that one, heres a link to some stats and reviews of it:
Michelin Pilot Sport 3 prices.
On the other hand there are some very good ContiSportContact 5's available for around £100 which could prove to be a wise choice.
Continental ContiSportContact 5 prices.
One more tyre, the goodyear Asymmetric 2 has proven itself in several tests this year as a force to be reckoned with:
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 prices.
If you have any more questions we're happy to help!

When I was getting tyres last time I was told on a Michelin the sidewall would perish before I used all the tread - go for them. I got some primacy HP's on the old dears car as she does similar mileage to you. Still going strong over 10k later you can barely see any wear
I have Goodyear Eagle Asymmetric 2's and conti's sport 2's on the back.. I use to have conti's on the front too, but they burned out too quickly and the grip wasn't brilliant either!
Anyway, say for instance I was going round a corner at abit of a rate - The Goodyear's would hang on but the conti's do let go!
Buy some Goodyear Eagle Asymmetric 2's.. you won't go wrong!
