thanks for the link, some good info. they dont seem to have much anything on mk6 gti and peoples feedack. doesnt seem to have the primacy hp listed either. But a lot of good info there none the less. the michelin pilot sp2 seems a bit of a fav for the mk5 gti.
what tires did your gti come with mirsad and how have you found them so far ?
Once had a Red mk6 GTI + DSG + leather + sunroof + mdi + towbar
Mine came with Bridgestone Potenza RE50. I thought they were pretty good with good grip in the dry and good ride comfort/noise. Haven't really pushed it in the wet so dunno about its traction in the wet though. I heard somewhere that Yokohama has one that's also pretty good, even better than the RE50s for similar price. Can't remember which one it is though

Nov 09 - Jan 2010 17" Bridgestone Potenza RE50
Jan 2010 - today 18" Bridgestone Potenza RE50 (changed 17 to 18")
It is looking OK ... not much driving in the wet ... few spins but mainly due to dirty surface or excitement...
But I can't find much difference (only minor change in comfort) even between 17" and 18" - not an "expert".

my previous car was coming upto replacing the michelin pilot exaltos and infact for 17" its not something was available, the places I visited mentioned yokohama 509's but I remember them from years ago ! youd think tyres had moved on since ! another one suggested were the pirelli p zero's for about the same money as the pilots and the yokohama's but no experience with either to comment.

interesting experience there mirsad, what brought on the change from 17's to 18's looks like you stuck with stock alloys ?
sounds like your reasonably happy with your bridgestones. looks the michelin primacy are probably ok too, perhaps I'm being too picky and some of it could be surface related too. Just thinking probably could do better than them thats all I guess

Change from 17" to 18" was part of the deal with VW dealer.
As I pointed for me Bridgestone is OK (driving in Perth mainly 50 - 80 Km ... 100+ on the weekend ... not much) but my preferences are (when time come)
Continental Sport Contact 3
Michelin Pilot Sport 3 PS3
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric
based on the reviews I'm reading, they're so so....but then again, I don't drive like a complete maniac...at least I don't plan to, but I know I will!!!!
I had the Re050 on mine and though they performed very well, got noisy as hell after 22,000km. I persevered for a while as there was plenty of thread left but at 29000km, gave up and switched to PS3. Day and night.
Mine came with Bridgestone Potenza RE050 (118 TSI sport pack). I've also got the same set (although larger size) on my other car, however those are RFTs... The difference is light and day between the same tyre (non RFT and RFT).
Plenty of grip in the dry, but when pushed they dont wear very well.
