235/35R19 in Goodyear Eagle F1 Asym's is what I run, last price was Ã‚Â£140 per tyre although tyres have seem to gone up in price recently.

if you can still get them for that NEG, buy a load and stock pile them

Probably not anymore - the 225/40's went up from 106 to 116 last week - something split the side wall on one of the recently replaced front tyres on the mk4 - grrrr!

I'd go for 235/35/19, keeos the rolling radius the same as the stock 18, im sure if you ask Shaun he can get a set at very good prices for Goodyear Asys !

The Michelins seem to wear out very quickly .

The only reasons to run 225 section tyres on a 19" wheel would be for the stretch look (Not to my taste and ruins any handling characteristics) or if you have space issues in the arch (by running a different offset or spacers).

225 section tryes will reduce your rolling diameter, but not by enough to be noticeable. The tyres will probably be more expensive with the smaller 225 section as they aren't as common a fitment as the 235 section variant.

I go for Goodyear Eagle F1 assymetrics everytime. Reasonable price, but superb grip and characteristics compared to other tyres.

All the people i asked about these 2 types of tyre have said the opposite the PS2 last a third longer.

i have to agree....maybe it's a driving style thing?

my last set of ps2's lasted much longer than most of the other brands i've had and i live amoungst some very twisty roads to wear them. someone in milton keynes and its roundabouts will wear a certain tyre differently than say someone from wellingborough surrounded by duals and motorways

alot of factors come into play

go with 225/35 ;)
Why, as that'll make your speedo inaccurate?

if you plan to lower :) ,the 235 will rub ,as the 225 will not ,a friend has them ,and they rubed ,put the 225 and all is good :)

That is a strange statement, Dario.
It completely depends on how low your friend has it and what the wheel spec is.

Of course on your friends car that little bit extra angle on the tyre wall fixed his problem, but so would raising the coils a bit or putting a more friendly offset wheel on.

i agree, bit too much of a sweeping statement to say they will rub, i know alot of people running the 235 and are lowered without any issues fella, maybe your mate should check his setup?
