Volkswagen Mk4 Golf Estate TDi 130 Tyres

In the dry these are good tyres, in the wet they are mediocre. This makes sense as they are classed as summer tyres however everywhere that lists these tyres has them rated as A for wet weather.
In the wet they grip still and handle well enough however they perform the best when it comes to aquaplaning. When it comes to dispercing water they sre absolutely terrible. They feel like if someone were to spill there coffee then you wouldn't stand a chance! Good for the summer however if it rains hard your better off walking.

Fantastic tyres, I have thrashed the life out of my set and the are holding up stronger than expected. I have double the hp that the car came with standard and sofar I have driven 15000miles and have about 3-4mm on the fronts and 6-7mm on the backs. Lovely and good in the wet too.

Look these tyres are really ok. Pricey - unless you look around but wear really well and are good tyres.

If you hunt around you can get these cheaper than they are advertised. Overall good tyres and excellent wear.

An improvement on the Michelin Energy savers I purchased the car with, and they're cheaper!

Full set of these fitted after a Uniroyal disaster, what a relief. Quite a hard ride but that suited me fine. I don't go hurling the car into corners (anymore) must be an age thing! I just want to get around safely and with confidence these tyres provide just that. In dry conditions I have never had any trouble, in the wet I have to be a bit more cautious pulling away from junctions otherwise I spin the wheels, braking in any conditions feels OK, never aquaplaned dispite some close calls on the motorway when suddenly presented with a sea of red lights ahead. I did reasonably well in the heavy snow we had but found that I had better grip in 6" deep fresh snow than 1" deep partially melted slush.
Wear seems good at 28k as it's quite a heavy car, best mileage I have had from any tyre.
I would recommend these tyres as good VFM at about ?55 each for a casual or occasionally spirited driver in a family car.

Had 2 of these fitted to front end with 2 part worn Dunlops at rear, I had all on keeping the car in a straight line on the motorway, it felt as though the tyres were only half inflated, they weren't. Back to the garage to have everything checked all was OK. I tolerated this for about 4k to see if they would bed in but no change so I swapped them to the rear still the same feeling. I put them back on the front and just wore them out as fast as possible. Had 4 Toyo Proxes CF1 fitted and it was such a relief to have the car drive in a straight line again without constant correction, wear looks to be heading for about 25-28k for the Toyo's

If you have a Golf Tdi 130 Estate do NOT have these tyres.

I've had the Conti PremiumContact2s on for about 4 months and they've not put a foot wrong.
They stop the car with no fuss very quickly and outcrop the chassis's limit easily.
In the wet I've not driven on better tyres and wet roads feel as safe as in the dry

I had my first pair of Dunlop SP Sport Fast Response (front pair on front wheel drive) replaced after 22,000 miles, the rears are still only half worn.

Would definately buy the same again and would highly recommend to any mile munchers. Grippy, quiet and responsive, i have finally found a tyre that will stop me spending limitless hours of researching every time i need to replace them as i now wouldnt use anything else.

The only tyre that comes close is the Cooper Zeon CS6 on my Golf GTi.
