I got rid of the Bridgestones 100 miles after buying my Cupra, they're pants.
Yeah, the Nokian's I have are winter tyres, very good so far.
Want to purchase...

Yep, the Bridgestone's are shite. Only lasted 9.5k and tramped like mad. Fitted Goodyear Assy 2's , they have done 8.5k and only look half worn.
Hi mate,
I'll be getting some new summer tyres next year, do you recommend those Goodyear's then? I've been drawn to them for their well-rounded reviews (good in the dry, good in the wet, fairly quiet, good ride quality) would you say your tyres live up to those expectations?
Went from the oem Pirelli's on previous LCR to Goodyears, they were definitely quieter , performance wise probably better too.
On the Cupra, I've noticed less road noise ( although there is still one Bridgestone on o/s/r , long story.... ) with the Goodyears. In the dry now I get zero wheel hop, just tc light flashing. In the wet, it will still tramp if you are too heavy footed, but its easily controllable and results in one or two bangs, on Bridgestones it felt/sounded like the engine was falling out. I'm happy with them, they also seem to cope with potholes better than the Pirellis did.....
I've also got them on my work Passat, they have lasted longer than the oem Contis ( I cover 50k a year all over UK)
os it just me or do you think the XDS is a little abrupt!!
My Ibiza was the same as the Leon in that you get a bit of slip followed by a oh crap the engine has dropped moment!!
Its not XDS on the Cupra but some other form of wizardry. Takes a bit of getting used to, but when you do its a hoot especially round islands......
