Volkswagen Golf GTI Turbo mk4 Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Michelin Primacy HP given 87% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 spirited miles
Early mk4 Golf GTI Turbo with no traction control, and you could launch it hard, wet or dry, with very little scrabble. Even situations like accelerating hard out of tight T-junctions where the car used to just light up the fronts on its previous P6000s, these Primacys just grip and go. Very little road noise, good life (mild feathering of shoulders only after 10,000 hard driven miles), and gave a level of steering feedback that I didn't think the car was capable of delivering.
Very good tyres. Expensive, but worth it.

Great tyres much better than the pirelli p6000's that they replaced. Good grip in the wet, brilliant in the dry. Road feedback is also good car feels a lot more smoother when compared to the pirelli's i can't remember them being this smooth when they were new. Very comfortable and too loud on the motorway. Will buy again once they need replacing.

Writing about the Kumho Ecsta KU39 given 0% (205-55-17-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 145000 average miles
I have been researching for an all round tyre for everyday driving on my 150bhp VW Golf GTI. So far I have used Dunlop SP01, Dunlop fast response and continentals. The Dunlop's have driven well, low noise and good grip even in the snow and had no problems in wet conditions. Price has steadily increased and the review on Kumho KU39 has attracted me along with researching the make to find VW have endorsed them for use on new ranges. I have just had them fitted for £69incl for each wheel so will be back to continue...
