Cupra tyres, whats recommended & whats not

[karizma_fas]

I'd go for the Goodyears or the vredstein's mate.

Both are great all round tyres.

08 Cupra here and couldn't wait to get rid of the Pirelli Pzero Rosso OE fitment. Been running on Conti Sport Contact 3's ever since. Superb tyres (IMHO).

Likewise on my FR TDi. Really excellent tyres, wet and dry.

Michelin Pilot Sport 3's are a very good tyre in wet and dry conditions.

The Uniroyal Rainsport 2's I've just fitted are awesome in the wet. Also good on the greasy roads of late.

The OE Pirelli Rosso's were crap!!

I used to have Bridgestone Potenza's. But I found they were rubbish in the wet and mediocre in the dry.

I now have Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetrics and the difference is phenominal. Only thing i'll say is, I dont find them as good in the wet as some have found them. But saying that, I dont blast the car in rainy conditions so I havent really pushed them to find out. In the dry though magic stuff!

If you've been cornering hard in them for a little while, and you get out and feel them, they become slightly tacky. And they defo feel glued to the road

£116 incl VAT from Camskill.

That's where got mine from. Best price and they send em to the garage to be fitted. Funny thing is, the garage where they sent mine was the same one that quoted me £175 per corner for the same tyres hehehe

Ive just got the Goodyear F1 Asymetricals, £107 a corner, excellent in the wet aswell....

I put 4 of the V12 evo's on the GF's car last summer. They seem to grip well and were good through the winter with all the snow and slush. Her car was better to drive in snow than mine when I had the FK452's on.

Her's are 16's and seem to be wearing well too.
