This is my third set mate...
You wont go wrong with the Assymetrics![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")
yeah i agree assymetrics great tyres. not so good in the snow as mentioned plenty of times but awesome in the dry and wet.
ive heard very good things about these and have a friend who will only buy these tyres hee had them on his clio then mk3 golf then mk4 golf so he was impressed
Ordered the 2xF1 Assymetrics today, got a call they were in, so went to get them fitted.
When I got there they were busy said it'd take an hour so I went out and came back, only to find when I got back they had been sent the wrong tyre!
1 was GoodYear Excellence Grip and he other was ok i.e F1 Assymetric. They asked if I wante to get those fitted saying they both have the same asymmetric pattern. No way! I asked them to get me another F1 Assymetric! So still waiting for these to be fitted.
They swapped the rears (my old F1 Assym. on to front), balanced and checked tyre pressures, car has feels more grippy, but the steering wheel seems harder to turn...?
Yeah, heard good reports on the uniroyal Rainsports, gosh so many tyres to chose , wish I could try them all!

Just ordered new Hankook Evo V12's... £260 for all four
Mr OCD, i have been looking at the Hankooks for my FR TDi and think thats what i'm going to go for when i replace the tyres in a couple of months.
Just wandering where you got them for at this price, as the cheapest i can find on the net is Camskill at £76 each. Also, do you know roughly how many miles you have been getting out of them on the front?
Does anyone know which will last longer, Hankook V12 Evo's or Falken 452's?
Thanks in advance
Ok, time for tyres again..i think?! supposedly have 2 tyres with nails in, but I can't see them!
Also tread down to 3mm on fronts, so looking at replacing 2 tyres.
Atm as you know I have GoodYear F1 Assymetrics on, do I go for:
2 of the new F1 Assymetric2 (meant to be lighter, less road noise than F1Assym.)
2 of the new Bridgestone Potenza S1001
2 Hankook Ventus V12 Evo (looks good V pattern -but different to be uni-directional tread of the F Assym.
or any Verdesteins (though the tread pattern on these seem to be similar the Hankook V12's)
Or any other receommendations? I like it to be grippy, and very good in the wet.

5 years on... (and this thread) this car still going strong!
Just my tyres are worn again..this time all 4, any suggestions?
Although I've had the Good Year Assymetric 1 Or is it Assymetric 2's now?
Thinking of trying something different...didn't like the Hankooks that I tried once
How do the Continental Sport Contact 5 and Michelin Pilot Sport 3 compare to Good Year Assymetric 2's?
Anyone had the above and how did it compare if you had Good Year's before?
Looking for performance, good in wet and quick stopping power.

Th F1 is about to be replaced with Assymetric 3. The Conti 5 has just been replaced with the 6.
Both better than the any Mich..

I've always found UniRoyal Rainsports very hard to unstick and great in all conditions.

Can't comment on longevity but can definetly recommend the michelin pilot supersports for performance. Been to the nurburgring, done 10 laps and also done a day at castle Combe. Being used to semi slicks on a previous car I was still impressed. Obviously not quite as good but they certainly performed better then expected.
