Volkswagen Golf GTI MK5 (remapped 330bhp) Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 given 87% (225-40-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 28000 average miles
These tyres just keep going and going. I have done 2
45 000km on them and still have 4mm left all round. They are now 5 years old and starting to chip. But still grip is insane, both dry and wet. Really really good wet tyre.
Noise levels are low as well.
Their rim protector is also a nice feature. Never had any issues with these tyres. I'm moving on to Continental maxcontact MC6 which have high expectations so I'll review those Soon.

Writing about the Kumho Ecsta PS31 given 81% (225-40-18-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 7000 spirited miles
At first when my friends at the workshop recommended this tyre. Being only RM400/piece I have my doubts initially plus I'm not familiar with the brand but I still make my choices to take up the PS31. The doubts immediately cleared off when took the car out for a convoy. The entire journey is about 650km with mix of average and spirited drive and I'm surprised how a RM400/piece tyre perform on the road. Dry grip is good and the wet grip is fantastic. On dry road the car feels steady at high speed and surprisingly low noise and during low speed/normal driving speed, the tyre is a little soft due to softer tyre wall but resulted in comfort drive. But when you hit wet road, this is where the tyre shines as it has even more awesome grip on dry. Normally you'll feel the car shifts to the left and right when driving on wet road but with this tyre, you barely feel the tyre skid and feel more in control. As for wear it's still unknown but after driving it for about 10,000km with mixture of driving (been for spirited drive for 4-5 times since I got the tyre), I have to say the wear is impressive. Will I buy again? Hell yeah but I'll want to try the PS91 next but no doubt for those who wants to enjoy spirited driving but have tight budget, this is the tyre to go for.
