^^ what does that mean?

So the old ones have higher load rating? How does that effect in real terms?

the 91 is the loading deck and the y is the speed rating which are perfect for your car..but for some reason the good year asymetric 2 tyre has a lower loading deck of 88 than the standard tyre of the gti of a 91....if that all makes sense

They will be quieter just because of the increased tread block height and possibly grippier but you did say you had Falken F452's so then definitely grippier.  :wink:

I found the harder you when into corners the better the good years gripped

....Which panel filter are you running on though? That's what helps a stock or Carbonio intake I'm told.

....Reputed to be the best  :happy2: - That's what I had when I was running a Carbonio. I know that the Carbonio has only an eye-candy reputation but it does improve the airflow over the very convoluted stock one. It's just that the results don't deliver significant bhp.
