Tyres for Polo TSI

**vw74** · 17-08-2014, 04:56 PM

Due for a new set of tyres for my 2012 Polo TSI. Any better than the standard ContiPremiumContact2 ... 63000k on these, but two are now due for change. I'll change all 4, but should I consider any other brand for superior whatever? Thoughts?

63,000km is pretty good, if the price is right stick with what you know.

I think I'll be lucky to get 20000km out if the re050's on my gti :p

Way too many variables in your question, What do you want most from your tyre?

Bridgestone RE002 will easily out perform any tyre in the Dry & Wet but will only last 40-50k depending on how you drive.

63k is pretty good for a tyre.

I'd go RE002's and wait till next month as i suspect Bridgestone will have a spring special buy 3 and get 1 free.

Or Goodyear F1 AS2

If you are happy with them and can afford their price, i would stick with them, they are a great tyre for the wear, noise (lack of) and performance they provide.

Depending on their price, its almost cheaper to buy a set of new wheels/tyres that someone has taken off when they bought new wheels from new.

doesnt say where you are from but I have a set that I could sell, but its only really worth it if you are in VIC for pickup

I got 70k out of mine on my Forester and they still had 10k left in them. And they weren't spared. Very grippy and the most durable tyre I've ever used.

Thanks guys. Reaffirms my thinking then ... rear tyres still have 15000k left, so will change front with same ... oh, and this my wife's car driven up and down the freeway, which explains much about tyrewear I think.
