Summer tires

[KXL]

Had the following tyre previously: Bridgestone ER300 Ecopia, Bridgestone RE050A, Michelin Primacy 4, and currently Pirelli P7 C2.

I can recommend the latter two, cannot recommend the ER300 (had it on a 2.0TDI Leon, and it had no grip, and couldn't even put power down on a 150BHP car). Accelerating onto a slip road in the wet, I only had TC light. The RE050A, it was ok, came with the car, didn't consider needing another tyre.

+1 for Goodyear F1 Asymmetric 5s

Maybe not quite as good as the PS4s but it's cheaper and honestly the difference in performance isn't much.

One thing the Assys are is predictable, no drama, just feedback, not snappy or anything

And been predictable with feedback for me does atually makes them my number 1 tyre, together with Kumho or even Maxxis depending on ones budget..

Obviously depends on how you drive - but If I only got 15,000 miles out of a tyre I wouldn't get that tyre again. I would call that very poor wear.

Also depends on if the tyre was from factory or purchased from a tyre shop, the RT2 from factory on my Leon covered more miles that my second set of RT2 purchased from my local tyre shop and both run on the front driven wheels..

There are different versions of the same tyre - for example with my Goodyear Asymmetric 5's there were 3 or 4 variants each with different tyre label specs of wet grip, efficiency, noise and price. The one's I chose had the best of each and an AO (Audi) approval - of course slightly more expensive!
Presume the same applies to the RT2's? and different versions?

I like Goodyear Eagle F1 Assy5 as a tyre. The feel is nice and grip is superb. Only drawback i found was they were quite noisy
