Volkswagen Polo 19.TDI Sport Tyres

I've done 200k+ in my polo and apart from the dunlops that came from factory, anything less than a set of these Conti's has me finding ditches. They always leave me feeling confident regardless of weather or road condition. The 1.9 Diesel polo is very nose heavy and prone to understeer, but these turn in everytime, they have my passengers pressed up to the window like Garfield! I only get 24k miles out of them, but better to come out the other side of a corner than not, rain or shine ;-)

Whilst not near the latest top "sports" car tyres the feedback and progression make these a DRIVERS tyre second to none.
In other words if you have moved beyond the deep breath and white knuckle brigade these could be for you.

oh my god! what a fantastic tyre. i have had these fitted for 2 weeks now so cant report on wear rates or dry road grip but the huge dump of snow we had this morning has caused me one massive problem. everybody else is now in my way! had to overtake a land rover discovery that was going too slow!on my 30 mile commute there was nothing that posed even the slightest problem. i even tried a more hilly route in places to see what would stop me but no, i just sailed up.
i can not recommend this tyre more highly. fantastic.

I got these tyres fitted to my Polo 1.9TDi at the beginning of Dec 2010. I have to say that they were brilliant in the snow. Starting and stopping on compacted snow and ice was excellent. I felt very safe in the car and could even go where 4x4 drivers thought they had the edge. Going uphill was a cinch even from a standing start. I was sad to see the snow go as I just loved to drive in it with these fitted to my car.
Would thoroughly recommend that people use these tyres in true wintry conditions.
One *slight* issue I found was that occasionally they would not give an even response when accelerating / decelerating on uneven road surfaces in ordinary non-snowy dry / wet conditions.
