Dynamic / Adaptive chassis control (DCC / ACC)

[Mk6 GTI]

It could be any of several tyres. Continental, Bridgestone, maybe others, depending on stock at the factory at the time. They are generally considered to be good tyres no matter which option you get, although some people have different opinions on each of them.

At the moment the hands down 'best tyre' based on several motor publications seems to be the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric - and as you can see from above, they have awesome prices on that from Tirerack.com

Do they fit Goodyrs from the factory?

I dont believe they're fitting the Goodyear F1's.

hehe yeah i guess they wouldnt be..

One of the less obvious areas to cut costs!

Mine came with Bridgestone Potenza.

My dealer also said the same... More than likely to come with Bridgestone's fitted..

It's got nothing to do with costs (as you can see, in high volume, the Goodyear are cheaper than the Conti's anyway). It has to do with the contracts that a car manufactuer has with tyre manufacturers. For Volkswagen that's primarily Continental and Bridgestone, both of which make good tyres.

It's just that right now, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric is the best. Could be something else soon

As far as i know, GY F1 asymmetrical aren't made/used for OEM tyre, so doubt they would fit it (score if they do).

Hi M
Which model Potenza are they .I have the RE001 fitted on my current car and they don't suffer from scolloping like the old G3's .

Cheers
