Best Tyres for 3.2 FSI LWB??

nowak · 06-16-2007, 08:50 AM

All 4 standard (235/55 R17 99y) Bridgestones now need replacing and I am looking for a tyre that is better, especially in the wet and especially as this is a front wheel drive car.

Any suggestions please?

Goodyear F1 GSD3's! highly rate them. Great in Dry and Great in the Wet too! Falken FK 452's are also good tyres in both conditions. Alot of people have different opinions. I had the GSD3's on my A6 2.5 V6 TDi (FWD) and my S4...both went really well. On my A8 4.2 V8 i've got the Falkens on and again, brilliant.

Have tried Bridgestone (crap), Michelin Pilot sport 2 (crap) and Conti Contact Sport 2 (okay but not brilliant) Thats my 2p thrown in.

Although, after searching for your tyre size, it's not a very common size. Could your tyres be 234/45/17??

Thanks. The measurments are accurate, I'm no expert and I am sure that other sizes will fit but those are the numbers I took off the side wall of the tyres.
