I could've gone for 19" Pretorias ® but they aren't an option on the GTD these however are so it keeps it oem.
I've found out the TT we part ex'd sold within less than a week.

I like keeping a car looking OEM as well ,I saw Daytona 3 door A1 the other day badged as an S1. WTF it even had some Audi rings on the side.

4 x Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3's ordered from Camskill (no problems with this company they always provide superb service for tyres) 
 
Ordered Thursday night, dispatched Friday afternoon with tracking number emailed and always kept informed of the status of my order.
 
I'll be glad to get rid of the Bridgestones that are on the GTD as they have terrible road noise.... :(

The difference in road noise is like night and day these Eagle F1 3's are so much quieter.

Update

The Goodyear Eagle F1's Assy 3's have made a huge difference, the Ride quality is so much better and road noise difference from the OE Bridgestones is such an improvement.

Had a Headlight cornering bulb go so replaced both as a pair with some Philips items...........

And I'm going to order the Goodyears for our RS3 I like them a lot........

I have Goodyear Assy 2's on my Scirocco and they are great, nice to hear the Assy 3's may be even better. All this talk of MPSS's had me thinking of them as my next purchase once I have had enough of the Pirellis...

Could anyone really tell the difference in tyres ??

 

I there were 3 identical cars all with different makes on them and you did not know what tyres the car had on them could you really tell one from the other..

 

I dont think I could ?

When we got the Golf Roy the Road noise from the Bridgestones was shocking.....

The grip from them in the wet was rubbish the car was wheel spinning all over......

Massive improvement by switching to the Goodyears.

I'd already had them on the TT we sold so I knew they were good.
