Really happy with tyres, the levels of grip are superb, even in the wet. Road noise is low, no changes to economy. Happy with my choice.

After six months, my Michelin tires have proven to be an excellent match for my Golf R. They provide outstanding grip, especially when cornering, and handle beautifully on both wet and dry roads. The ride is surprisingly quiet and comfortable, balancing performance with daily usability. In terms of durability, the tread shows minimal wear despite a mix of city, highway, and spirited driving. Though they’re a bit pricier, the combination of grip, longevity, and comfort makes them worth the investment. Highly recommended for anyone looking to get the most out of their performance vehicle.

They are the best tyre for the money for all sorts of driving conditions. Sure footed in the corners when being driven in a sporty fashion, and excellent grip 'off the line'.

Brilliant tyres, really grippy in the corners. Stock fit Bridgestones were terrible, these Goodyears are a significant improvement, and noticeably cheaper than the very marginally higher performing Michelins.
