Volkswagen Golf 7 GTD Tire Review Highlights

Driving on mostly motorways for 33000 average miles
Good overall tire. Only negative think is that after 3rd season ( about 40.000km) they became very loud. I was thinking my wheel bearing went bad, but no it was a tire noise

I drive them on a Golf 6 GTD, 170ps, automatic. Not the most powerful car, but I get a lot of wheel spin when accelerating a bit more aggressive. Temperature around here is between 30 and 39 degrees Celsius (hot). Tires are brand new with a fresh dot (several months from production). Breaking is normal, I did not feel the ABS till now. Wet performance I did not test, cause of the dry summer. Cornering also normal. Otherwise the tires don't make noise and are comfortable. If I have to buy now, I would probably search for a softer tire, with more traction on dry hot asphalt.

Great tires, look really good on the wheels from a styling point of view. Really grippy in the dry, a bit less in the wet but I find that with all tires. So far I've done a few thousand miles on them and can't notice any wear, still look new. Very impressed

Driving on a combination of roads for 20000 easy going miles
after 2 seasons tire is awful on wet grip is horrible, much worse than my winter kleber HP3 tires. on dry road the ride is fine so far, but driving on wet is a night mare, as you are on ice

Driving on a combination of roads for 500 spirited miles
I can only compare these to the Pirelli P Zero's that came off of the Golf, but what a world of difference! For the very reasonable price when compared to the long reigning champion of UUHP tires, you just cant go wrong. In the same situations where I had wheel spin and slip with the Pirellis, this tire does not give at all. I'm clearly not pushing it to the limit of its grip but i'm very happy and would recommend to anyone. For info, starting tread is 8mm. I may update this when i have done more miles in all conditions and update the wear rate also. Money cannot buy a better tire at the minute, the reviews are right!

Fitted on the back of my Golf GTD as I needed tires to pass mot, no problem with them whatsoever I have Avons on the front and they’re cracking and only been on a year before, I will be replacing them all with Bridgestone once they’re done as that’s the manufacturers choice for this car, but overall no issues with roadX

Driving on a combination of roads for 12000 spirited miles
Bought the car with these Tires on the vehicle and was a bit skeptical of them at first sight, driven over 12k miles (A/B Roads) before i had to change them (not sure how long they where on the car before purchase) Drives superbly in wet, can sit on motorway at high speeds and not even a slight tug on the wheel, was also pleasantly surprised by the good quality in the dry, grips around corners as well as any mid range summer tire. My GTD Golf is remapped to 235bhp & 470nm of Torque. The tires dont brake traction when fully accelerating in either wet or the dry. Maybe coming around some bends and applying full acceleration theres a bit of wheel spin/traction control but nothing unexpected. Coming to end of life and i have noticed the outside of the tires are bald while good tred left in middle, maybe just incorrectly balanced or air pressure in them when fitted.

Driving on mostly country roads for 1000 spirited miles
The Bridgestone’s are more fun to drive on than the PS4, and a definitely a step up from the S001. I have done 1k on them, and they are very grippy tires. Very precise on steering input. Dry braking is amazing. Wet grip is also very good. Not had any issues with aquaplaning. They give so much confidence in the corners. Only get better once the tire has some heat in it, but perfectly fine when the tire is cold. Can be a little noisy at motorway speeds, other than that fine. Massive rim protector compared to S001. Tire Wear: I have done 1k and it gone from 6.8mm (New) to 6.4mm in 1k, so I am going to get about 10-12K out of them, which is not bad for a UUHP that comes with 6.8mm brand new. I only got 14k out of set of PS4 before which come with 7.5mm new. The Bridgestone’s are more fun to drive on than the PS4, and a definitely a step up from the Bridgestone S001.

Had crappy budget tires on before. Made the switch to these because they were a good price. Car feels so much better now. Great grip around corners in wet and dry, car feels much more fun and safer to drive now

Driving on mostly town for 13 average miles
Do not buy these model of tires , i have looked at them before fiting and they were so soft that you could not stand them , when you grab and maneuver one it feels like you can turn it inside out with little to no effort. Still ,thinking they are the best option for A fuel rated , i went ahead and purchased them . Less than 2 miles down the road and after 10 min of fitment /pasing mot , i nearly crashed on first bend , 20miles per hour in first left corner and car understeered so badly. Checked tire presure and all fine , it feels extremely wobbling/lurching and will go back to find a diferent option as this is unsafe to use . I dont understand how such products are out on the market . I am professional driver but never in my life felt a car/van/truck so lagging when turn steering wheel . Dont know ab the promised fuel economy as i am returning the the Green Chili technology back to were it came from in less than 24h 10miles of driving

Very nice tire but if on a high torque fed application they wear incredibly fast. Had them on mk7 gtd tuned and I will be going back to PS4 no question vfm is with the Michelin . I would like to try these on a Subaru or an evo for a proper analysis tbc when summer arrives but for the GTD or GTi stick with PS4
