Conti contact premium2 vs re003 - 2015 polo gti

[maraach]

I've found a mixture of opinions on best tyres for the polo going (215/40/r17). Many say the re003 but others say the conti. I can get them both at the same price. Hoping to get a new set this weekend so keen to hear from someone who may have tried both.

We've only had one set (conti's) and I thought they were ok. Not great. On my golf I've run a number of tyres including the conti sport contacts, re050a, p zero and Pilot super sport with the latter being my stand out favourite. I liked the conti's but the PSS was miles ahead in grip, performance and were also quieter.

RE003’s are very average tyre. Same with RE050’s.

I put Pilot Sport 4's on my 2016 GTi and I love them. They transformed the car. Loads of grip and great in the wet
