182_blue Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 So it's not that then.... i know of 4 more people who highly rate them too, did you get the car tracked after fitting ?, also you did check they were on the right way ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleybrooke Posted May 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Yes to both. Traking checked at VW garage - cann't be done at most. Checked they where all on the correct way. Played around with tyre pressures. Loving have a proper boots on again. The differance is massive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pencruz Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Checked mine over the weekend & E13's!!!! It's all a bit baffling this - makes you question your own sanity. Suppose it's now over to Goodyear for their response......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biscuits Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Changed from ContiSC2's to the Assys back in Feb and after the first couple of hundered miles have found them on par with MichPS2 for grip and noise (my all time fave tyre is the PS2 which ever car I've had them on). I've just checked mine and they are E13, Made In Germany. But I run 19" Not sure what to suggest, but you need to do it quick before putting too many mies on them if your going to argue with Goodyear/Supplier.

theduisbergkid Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Just spotted this. I test drove a (1 year old) MK5 Gti at a main dealer a couple of weeks ago, and I was surprised at how understeery it was, salesbloke said it was 'normal', but I honestly thought it was worse than the 2 x MK4 Gti's I have had, which is saying something. I loved the car, but the understeer really put me off. No idea what rubber they it though. Hope you sort your problem. Maybe drive an identical one and make a balanced judgement on yours ? Now, where did I put that BMW 1 series brochure.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
182_blue Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 fitted my asymmetrics today and they seem fine to me, very grippy which is good for such an early stage, and not to much noise, im very happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
