ive just joined and all new to this, dont even know how to do a new thread... but hope someone can help - I bought a leon 170 FR 2008 yeserday, very nice car however on the way home I got loads of warning light on the dash...ABS. TC,OIL,AIRBAG, and the speedo wouldnt work, I checked the oil again and it was fine, could it be that a wire is touching somewer and sending all these faulse saults??? I hope so !!

Suprised you didnt rate the F1's. Ive tried a lot of different tyres over the years and the original Eagle F1 assymetric was probably the best tyre i have ever used.
If your going from an f1 to a RS3, you wont like the cornering ability. They have tremendous grip, but the do roll a little in the bends compared to goodyears etc.
After doing a little research on tyres Ultrac Sessanta's seem to have very positive reviews with some people saying they knock spots off eagle F1s and the likes, the only downside is they wear relatively quickly. Has anyone experienced them first hand? I was considering these myself in the near future.

I Put them on my remapped Focus ST (you can just make out the tread pattern on the phot)
I had to complain to the local Vredestein Rep to get my money back as I thought they were awful. I got a refund and bought the Eagle F1's, they Eagles were way better the the Sessanta's. Maybe i got a bad batch
Got a set on the front. Need to get a set for the rear next as they are wearing down. Cant fault the ZE914's at all, good grip rain or shine. Does struggle in the wet getting the power down when low down on boost

I ran ultrac sessantas on my old Octy vRS with revo remap for years and they were fine. Not the grippiest but good in the wet and wore very well.

I've decided to go for a pair of Michelin PSS's on rear end as they are down to 3mm . (Potenza And a Dunlop Sport as I had a puncture that couldn't be repaired) won't go Dunlop again don't think as went from 8mm when new to 3mm in 9 k miles !!
Thanks to guys on here and Crafoo without his R now !! for help and input , I found that Kwik Fit must have made an error when they quoted me last time i.e. £550 for a pair !!
I went online and tbh , not a lot of difference in tyreleader /camskill/kwik fit when you take in delivery /fitting /vat /valves/balancing / and there just down the road
I found the tyre review link really good so thanks for that .
========================================
For the record..
1) kwik fit £172 each fitted/vat etc. total £344.00
2)tyreleader £145.39 each + delivery /fitting
3)camskill £152.65 each + delivery /fitting

Did you not check on love tyre? For the 225/40/18 Michelin PSS they are £106 for the XL rated and £109 for the Y rated. Delivery is usually about £8.
So would've been £230 for a pair delivered, then just fitting on top which shouldn't be too much

yes thanks - your right these are 235/35 R19 Y91'S .I guess these are at a January sale price I would hope
Anyway, at the end of the day all of them have ups and downs, I think the most important question which no one ever considers is, which is the coolest looking tyre? Hankook V12 Evo's, Uniroyals, Sessenta's (which i liked tbh before they got bought out) or Avon ZZ3's??
yes thanks mate ,that's the price I saw as mentioned. Ok delivery seems free ,but add fitting. At the end of the day not a lot in it tbh I don't think .
go to the tyre place on a Sunday, doubt they would turn down £10 cash in hand to fit them for you
