What tyres?

[Rampage]

Wondering what tyres to get for my Cupra as they are due to be replaced.
Something that lasts ideally!

Depends how heavy your right foot is...

If you want decent tyres then have a look at Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2's. Awesome tyres.

I'm currently on Vredestein Sessanta's. They seem ok. Most of my driving is motorway miles.
I tried the F1 Asymetric and found it wore quicker than others, it also had the best grip and best going through standing water performance.
Ideally I'm after somethign that last a little longer though.
Is there a website to compare durability of the rubber their made from?

Thanks.

The original F1 Asymmetrics wore quite quickly but they've improved the wear rate on the Assy 2's (allegedly). Got them on my FR and they're better in all depts compared to my previous Contisportcontact 3's and P-Zero Rossos.

Some members with Stage 2+ Cupras are also running them.

This site is good for reviews etc.

I can't fault Falken FK452 and they are well priced.

Michelin Pilot Sport 3's or Bridgestone Potenza's

Thanks, I think it will be the Asymetric 2, after looking at what mileage I did on them it worked out at an average of 22.2k per pair.
Just wondering what the difference is between these tyres:

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 225/40 R18 92Y XL R1 - £127.30

and

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 225/40 R18 88Y - £139.00

Any ideas?

You want the top ones as they're XL (Extra Load) rated and the correct tyres for a Leon.

Currently using the pilots. savage tyre well worth the extra few quid.

Just put 4 PS3's on my car and they are very good so far. Seem to have more grip in the wet than the Uniroyal Rainsport 2's they replaced, and they were great in the wet. They should wear better too as they have wear rating of 320.

Where do you get the tread wear rating from? I can't find it on any of the websites?

 

[Brinkz]

Are all of the above classed as 'summer' tyres?

I'm currently running a set of 'All Weathers' from Finland - not by choice, they were on when i bought the car. Initially I was worried, but now i'm converted and to be honest it makes sense - i mean how much of a summer do we get in the UK?!?!?!

Not sure but you could try googling 'Treadwear Rating' for the specific tyres you're interested in.

The Goodyear F1 Assy 2's treadwear rating is 300.

Most are 'Summer' tyres but I still keep them on in Winter. Just have to be a bit more sensible when it's near freezing. Not tried mine in snow yet though.
