Just had first MOT done in the relatively short ownership of my GTI, it flew through as I expected but a couple of the tyres are nearing their limit.
What would people recommend I get when buying new tyres? I wont be doing any track driving but plenty of fast A & B road driving. I'm looking for something that's equally as good in the wet and dry, summer & winter, also looking for something with a bit of durability so I can get plenty of life out of them. Not asking much right? haha! Reason I want something to do a bit of everything is my budget simply wont stretch to having summer and winter tyres.
any recommendations will be greatly appreciated!!
cheers!!

I've found these to be the best to source tyres from.

Recently put PS4s on and cant say I really notice any difference compared to the CS5s at their best - both are great. Am hoping the Michelins will last a bit longer as Continental tyres have a reputation for wearing quickly.
If buying again, I'd be happy with either.

I use Bridgestone potenza’s but they seem to be marmite tires :rolleye:
I used to love the S03, RE720 and RE050A Bridgees :happy2:
I don't know what's happened to Bridgestone lately. They seem to falling behind the big 3 (Goodyear, Mich, Conti) at the moment, but used to be up there with them, if not better.
Are they still the current F1 tyre supplier, or has it flip-flopped back to Michelin/Pirelli again?

I really really rate icebear as a winter tire

I vouch for Michelin Pilot Sport 4’s. Incredible tyres, changes the whole car.Yes I'd also agree just had 4 new fitted myself to my stage 2, unbelievable grip from take off

Camskill have them (https://www.camskill.co.uk/m61b0s322p188047/Michelin_Tyres_Car_Michelin_Pilot_Sport_4S_PS4S_-_235_40_R18_%2895Y%29_XL_%28DT1%29_TL_Fuel_Eff_%3A_E_Wet_Grip%3A_B_NoiseClass%3A_2_Noise%3A_71dB) but they’re not cheap. I’m not needing to replace my PS4 yet but would be willing to try these come replacement time.
