Tyre recommendations

[Andy D]

New tyre time for my 2020 Polo Gti+. Any recommendations ? Not P Zero's though, they are far too noisy

Hi Andy

If you have the 18" rim then Michelin PS5 will do the trick, and you can up the tyre size from 215 to 225.

The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 are another decent tyre in my opinion.

Yes, I have got 18's. I was thinking in terms of Michelin Pilot Sport or even maybe Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetrics but I think the Michelins will offer a better wear rate

225's presumably will offer better rim protection but how will they affect the handling ?

Well tbh I cant really tell if there is a difference, but more is better then less I guess. What I can say is going from the standard 215/40/18 Bridgestone's to the 225/40/18 PS4 made tyre noise almost non existant in the cabin.

I went for Goodyear Asymmitrics in the end. All four - £594. being fitted on this coming Tuesday
