What do you think of the Continental ExtremeContact DW ? Anyone have experiences with them? It actually beat both the F1's and PS2's in the Tirerack.com comparo. Link here http://bit.ly/hH6yP1

They're well priced too..

i think you could pick any of the top 5 tyres in that list & be pretty happy unless you drive around like Fangio all the time. I've even run the Kumho KU31 & it was more than adequate for tearing around the suburbs.

I would go Kumho's for normal use and PS3's / Eagle F1's if i was doing some serious driving.

I have some KU31's on my pug gti (Currently 4 months into an 8 month wait for my R...) and although they are excellent value they are nowhere near the performance of the stock Bridgestone RE050A tyres.

Can't complain about $145/rim fitted (v.s. around $300 quoted for the PS3s)

Wet grip is verging on dangerous compared to the excellent bridgestones.

Unless you're on a budget I'd advise staying away from the KU31s.

I just took delivery of a TDI built last week of October. It has 16" Michelins.

I currently have a Mk6 2.0TDI comfortline on loan, it has 16 inch Continental CSC2's great tyres.

I was just wondering what tyres your GTI came with and what, if anything you've put on it.

After asking my dealer I was told that it can be delivered with pretty much anything on it (reasonable quality obviously).

I'm just wondering what its likely to come shod with.
