What tyres do you rate on your Cupra?

It's that time where I need new tyres.
The original Dunlop SP Sport Maxx were ok and lasted 22,500 miles.
I currently have Eagle F1 Asymetric's, these have lasted around 13,500. Although the tread wear rate is the same on both tyres?
I think the Eagle's wear too quick and the Dunlop's don't grip quite as well as I like.
Is there a good in-between tyre?

Hardly, I do drive quite fast, but never accelerate hard from stationary!
Have to admit when I changed the tyres at 22,500 I was sup prised they had lasted so long, longest tyres I've ever had!

22.5k wow - mine generally lasted 10k-12k when stock. A little less now.

My Eagle F1's have been great. Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta next I think.

^^^^
what he said! I have these on my Leon and grip is very very good.

What's the wear like on these?
I quite like the Sessanta, I've seen it suggested because of the tread pattern it's good in the snow?! Although because of the large gaps in the tread will it wear faster because there's less rubber in contact with the road?

I've only got the standard wheels.

What's the wear like on the Sessanta's?
