Best Tyres for the Volkswagen Scirocco 2.0 TSI 201

Bought these tyres at £75 each fitted to replace Pirelli P Zero tyres. In the dry they are about the same as the Pirellis and in the wet I have found them to be slightly better. However, these tyres seem quite hard which takes away some of the road feedback and comfort, although still not far off the Pirellis. I haven't had them for long enough to test wear or long term degradation. Initial impressions are very good and they are overall close to premium tyres in terms of performance but at a much cheaper price.

2018 VW Scirocco 2.0 tsi 180 bhp fwd. Bought these after having Continental Conti Sport Contact 3. The continentals lasted 11,500 miles with about 2ml left very spirited driving style. Wet grip: does not make me feel confident at all. Dry grip: not too bad, struggle to put full throttle/gas down in 1st unless they are warmed up. Handling: the Scirocco traction control is unbelievably good but I don't think these tyres go well with the car. Compared to the Conti sport hands down conti sport.

I fitted a full set after a month on Dunlop Sport Maxx which were dreadful. I'd had Uniroyal tyres on cars previously and was fairly indifferent to them but reading some reviews decided these offered everything I needed. I have to recommend them as they are excellent. The wet grip is outstandingly good. The only thing I am not certain about is wear but if I can get a year out of them I will be well pleased. The comfort is exceptional - on the Dunlops the car could not be driven in Sport suspension setting as the ride was unbearably crashy but with the RS3s the car is not driven in anything other than Sport mode so this is a massive improvement. Road noise seems ok - I have a decent stereo so don't actually know whether it is good or bad but seeing as everything else about the tyres is good, this will be good too!

Driving, I have a very good sense of what it is the tyres are actually doing and I suppose this is one of those ,mysterious driving cliches that so called driving gurus like to call feedback. As for understeer etc, I wouldn't know as I have not yet provoked the vehicle. My opinion of the tyres after just over 2000 miles is that they offer (in order of my priorities) brilliant performance and are superb value for money.
