winrya Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Evo magazine has just dropped through the door and it has a fantastic tyre test feature. Its extra useful because the car they do the tests with is a GTI No prizes for guessing the winning tyre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZURES3 Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 The new Goodyear Eage F1 Aysemetric or how ever they spell it, I was disapointed to see how the Michelin PS2 did that was my next tyre but I will now go for the new F1 AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemod Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Oops I've just bought four PS2s, but I have to say the grip is superb. The car feels like I have uprated the Anti Roll Bars, the turn in is much sharper and the car feels lighter. It's strange if they didn't do well, haven't seen the test, as they are very highly rated by other magazines but it is only their opinion, it would be interesting to see other tests.

RedRobin Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 I had my GSD3's just before their Assymetric was released and initially felt slightly disappointed I had missed the opportunity. However, I would wanted to have waited to hear some real-world reports. I'll consider them as my next tyre but meanwhile I can't fault the F1's and they are also wearing very well so far.

AlexM Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 I've had these tyres now for around 3 months and have been really impressed by them, just wish i'd stop getting bloody punctures on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 When i watched a program a while back on men and motors channel about the new Goodyears, they were testing them on TTs back to back with the older V pattern ones and they and talked about why they were changing the advantages and disadvantages it did sound impressive.

TagnuT Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Thanks for that Ryan W. I thought that the Michelins would have done better. And Vredstein, who would have thought Are they owned by Conteinental anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyGTi Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 ..a very informative post, thanks for that Ryan it would also be well worth adding a link to this thread in the sticky "Mk V GTI Tyre Thread" at the top of the forum index, so that in a few months it is'nt forgotten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Yep, even better ...can threads be merged in a few weeks time ? Went into Smiths yesterday and nearly bought EVO, I flicked through the pages and saw no tyre test Then I saw a preview of next months mag and it was advertising the tyre test. It said next issue on sale from September 19th ! Do subscribers get their copies early or something ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winrya Posted September 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Yup they deliver subscribers issues first and then the shop copies. They are actually slightly different in that the covers just have a picture and the evo name on them (no price, barcode, whats inside etc). Looks very cool because evo is very arty.

stooH Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 I probably need to change all 4 of my tires in a couple of thousand miles, I looked on etyres and black circles and couldn't find the asymmetrics?! Are they only for the 18's or do they do them for 17's as well? Any anyone know anywhere cheap to get them from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
