Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk 5 (remapped 270 BHP) Tyre Review Highlights

Bought these to replace my 18" Toyo R1R and wanted the best road tyre possible that occationally would see track day action, i have not been dissapointed. They demand high pressure even on track (40PSI hot) but they could keep up with stripped out BMW's and Clio Cup racers at Donington, and afterwards they comfortably transported 3 people and luggage across UK and half way across Europe without having lost any of their handling or quiet behaviour. Best road tyre money can buy. Still a lot of tread left.

These tyres are the best I've ever had in my 30+ years of driving, the grip is amazing in the wet they give you so much confidence you can throw it into a bend and you know your going to come out the other side, it's like being on rails or in a mid-engined sports car.

With the extra power from the re-mapping they're not going to last too long but I would definitely buy these again!

Driving on mostly country roads for 1000 spirited miles
find feedback abit woolen on dry roads , good in the wet , very good on roads that have large puddles of standing water just slices clean threw them , good traction on ice as long as you drive to suit conditions go easy on the throttle , good on snow , do tend to throw the snow into the arches and the muck and spray down the sides of the car , brakes well on snow and ice as long as you again drive with sense , for the money not a bad winter tyre , i would buy again for sure

Great all around tyre,these do everything well, great for everyday driving and when you get a bit busy at the wheel they react and hold to the pavement like glue, Really comfortable tyre, still got low mileage on them so i cant say if they ewar fast or not. I guess the only side it doenst really excell is in responsivenes but everything else.. Great tyre and i would buy them again and recommend them to a friend.

Amazing tires for the first 7000 kilometers, then they will get simply annoying.. noise is almost intolerable for a tire that is designed for everyday use. Grip is alwasy great although theres tires out there that have better grip, but something that this tire excels on is feedback and quick reactions, im sure theres no tire out there that reacts and gives the feeling on what is happening on the road better than this one.
