My Goodyear Assysm's have lasted 6K and are pretty low now, not impressed really...

....My first pair of Goodyear Assym's lasted 13k miles (changed at 2mm). I rarely get wheelspin - A well trained right foot and a Quaife seems to help. Just bought my third pair and am very happy with the grip in both wet and dry - Best of all I've tried so far.

Yeah since my remap I get wheelspin all the time...boost comes in too aggressively for my liking really, but in the bone dry with some decent tyre temperature it is perfect. So i just hold out for those days now! I suppose DSG makes it less inclined to wheelspin off the mark too! Keith at JKM drove mine back in November and commented that he thought that the Goodyears weren't as good as some of the other tyres he's driven on a GTI. I feel that they are better than the Michelin Exaltoes that I had previously, but I would like to try the Michelin Pilot Sport 2's at some point! :smiley:

More pressure at the rear?? I thought that more pressure was required at the front due to the heavier weight of the engine there???

Reduces oversteer somewhat if you reduce TP at the front of the car. Not that the GTI is a particularly oversteery car...
