Small update on the previous review having spent much more time with the tyres now covering over 7000 miles on them, all still very good, have had to do an emergency stop with these tyres and they performed better then the cross climate 2s I had on previously, the abs was able to control the stop better instead of just skidding. The tyres are wearing at a similar rate in my experience as well, after 7000 probably closer to 7500 miles the tyres are on 5.9mm of tread whereas they started on 7.5mm this is from my experience matching the cross climate 2s and given the price difference I’m very pleased with the wear rate, the grip on mud especially when parking in fields is much better, still yet to test in snow and ice.

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I've read several reviews here and I don't think they are thst bad. In my experience, DX390 has better safety reserve than Bridgestone Turanza T005. Better stability in corners (Turanzas let go much sooner than DX) and decent wet performance .
The downside is the noise. Turanza is much quieter than dx.

I've had these on my Mk7 Golf R Estate for a few months and they are superb. So when my wife's Corsa E 1.4t VX-Line needed some new front tyres these were near the top of the list of ones I wanted to get. I found them for a good price online.
They are just as good on the Corsa as they are the Golf. Grip in the dry is fantastic and they inspire confidence. They are very quiet and also give a supple ride. I would thoroughly recommend these. I have yet to find their limits on the Golf on public roads, in the wet or dry.
On the little Corsa they are first class. They replaced a pair on Continentals which were well past their best, they had made the front of the Corsa rather skittish. Now the Goodyears are on, it feels like a new car.

These came fitted as standard on my Corsa E 1.4 Turbo SRI.
Dry grip seems reasonable but nothing to shout about but what lets these tyres down is the wet grip, if it was not for the fact they say continental on them I would of though I had ultra cheap budget tyres fitted instead they are that bad.
Wheel spin pulling off or out of junctions with hardly any throttle and taking on a roundabout in the wet with these is an eye opener, the front just seems to drift away from you unless you are ultra careful.
Even on dry motorways the car feels very skittish on these tyres so doesn't inspire much confidence, sligtest undulation or bump makes the car go off line.
Maybe it's just a bad fit for this particular car but I have had enough and will try out some Nexen N Blue HD Plus on all four wheels and see if that makes an improvement on handling.

Pretty woeful.
Put these on my old 1.4 corsa and even the mighty 80bhp was too much for these tyres. They would happily spin up in the dry let alone the wet.
Even had some oversteer on a wet roundabout a couple of times, and this was hardly even pushing them. Worse thing was it wasn't even progressive, would just let go out of no where.
Quickly changed to yoko's spec 2's. Awesome tyre in comparison.

What an awesome tyre! My previous tires where rainsport 2, and they where good enough,abit numb but ok. These rs3 are in another league of performance! Absolutely stick to the road in the dry, and wet grip is amazing! Can take corners in the rain like you can in the dry..very impressed..can't really judge wear as not had then long..seem to be wearing on the sides...having said that I drive pretty hard.
my dad had these fitted on my car they are brilliant only done 5000miles on them but i havent had a problem the noise level is differant on differant surfaces
Just reserved my second set of these tyres after a faultless 10000-ish miles. My driving style is best described as enthusiastic and these tyres haven't let me down. My car isn't all that heavy and with fairly agressive engine tuning, I need tyres I can rely on to grip the road.
Towards the end of their life, the wet grip wasn't all that brilliant but that is the only real complaint I have. They've far outlasted the Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3s I had before.

I've been using these tyres for around 3 years now and have been very impressed by them. They provide very good dry grip and have been able to keep the heavy nose of my car well in check when pushed, however the tyres really come into their own on wet roads. Performance hardly falls away at all in the wet and you can still push then hard. I didn't have to back off at all during a track day on these tyres that started dry and became wet later on. Very impressive! Wear rates are also impressive, lasting 17k miles on the front even with spirited drive and the rears aren't even half worn after nearly 30k miles. Been worth every penny of the (admittedly high) costs so far!
