These came fitted to my TT MK2 TFSI when I bought it, so i can't compare these to other tires but have covered 5k on them so hopefully the information is helpful to others with cars of similar power and drive. Dry and wet lateral grip is reassuring, braking is also good. Power transfer: At stock power and dry tarmac the car would grip in 2nd gear at full throttle. Since then I've had the car mapped 258hp 282lbft and and now they will struggle for traction in 3rd. Probably not the tires fault as the car has a open diff but will try a different brand to find out. 245/40/18

The tire is a very good overall performer. Grip and braking feels very good at both dry and wet (not a full 9 but closer to 9 than to 8). Driven on a rather mediocre quality of asphalt they have appeared to need some more warming up before they reach their best performance but after that, performance is very good. There are two negative points however, but they may be circumstantial: first is that in very tight corners they have a tendency to skid a bit (but this may also be due to the asphalt quality).
Second negative point is "some kind of wear" but let me explain: Greek summer is tough on the tires and although there is no actual tread wear, there is a performance deterioration which made me change them in just over 3 years and 33.500km with a tread height that would certainly not dictate a tire change.
Have recently replaced them with the asymetrico 3 which right from the start feels to have undergone some improvement....
