The car has been APR flashed at around 5,000kms and it probably only done about 10kms with the flash turned off (standard tune). Although the car has never seen a race track I dont drive it like a grandma, corners have been great fun in the GTI since fitting the rear Whiteline swaybar a few years ago.

I was going to get another set of the CS2 (got only one quote at $215) but came on here to see what other options I had. I am surprised there are quite a few who really dont like the CS2.

Now im not sure if I should stay with the CS2 or try something else. I been happy with the CS2 but after reading through here, there may be better options.
I cannot understand how that is possible. i don't disbelieve you, but I think maybe tyre sets vary?? I dragged 40,000 on mine and they were shot. And lots of that was driving at 100kmh backwards and forwards for 200km 5 days a week for 6 months. And I don't really drive it that hard.

I would NEVER buy them again based on the fact that if you would frown at them they would go flat or get a sidewall-bulge. Weak as p.i.s.s. I ended up almost dating my tyre store woman I was in there so often....
