I need new tyres for my GTI shortly and I’m interested in an all season tyre that will perform better in the winter than my current Michelin PS2. I don’t want another set of PS2’s due to poor wear and the experiences during the past winter. It was so bad that I had to park the car as there was virtually zero grip, even at slow speed.
I know Goodyear F1’s and PS2/3 appear to be the tyre of choice for most people, but I’m willing to sacrifice ultimate dry grip performance, for wet weather /winter performance.
Has anyone experienced another tyre that they would recommend for all year use?
What tyre speed rating is required for a std GTI?

Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta or Continental Sport Contact 3 are my faves!
-
Falken 452's... Had them on a few cars now.. in all seasons... Handle quite well even with some 'hearty driving' :wink:
-
Continental Sport Contact 3's for me.

Whats the Conti Sport Contact 3's like in the ice / snow?

I had conti 3's before and compared to my vredds are rubbish, I drove my car all winter with vredds on :) really good tyre I have also had 452's before on a focus and they wer good :)

Vredestein Quatrac 3 get good reviews.

I found them awful... made my car understeer like the Jahre Viking

these are by far the best BFGOODRICH MT KM2, you'll have no probs in slippery conditions :drinking:

I found the Vred Sessentas better in the colder weather than the F1s. The tread seems to clear better in snow.
