My 300 has the factory Hanooks on them and to be frank they are rubbish , they just cant seem to take putting down the power.

So what are people recommending works well.

Also does anybody know if the LSD actions changes depending on mode???

Mine came with Bridgestone Potenza's which have been fine, but I changed to Mich Super Sports on my previous Cupra's.

Not trying to be smart at all, but perfecting throttle modulation at take-off or when exiting corners will help
make the most of whatever traction you've got and will reduce tyre wear, which will also save you some cash.

As to tyres themselves, Michelin PS4S often get recommended and Goodyear are known to use Golfs as test-beds,
so of course their tyres should also well-suit the 'Spanish Golf' Leon.

GY F1 SS is fitted stock on mine 245. IMO rubbish as well, especially at start from 0. Looking for a replacement soon.

Bridgestone potenzas and I wheelspin like a boy racer on a can of 39p energy drink whenever I go for a quick pull away! Keep forgetting its got a lot more torque than my old octavia and it's also a lot heavier!
