Best Tires for the SEAT Leon TDi 130

Have decided to review these tires as they have just done over 30,000 miles and still have tread on them.

Got them to replace some Uniroyal Rainsports (which I thought were very good in the wet and dry but did wear quite quickly). The tire place didn't have any so suggested the Goodrich.

They were about £60 a corner for 4 tires.

Just had car serviced and tires swapped front to back for the 3rd time. Fronts are now 4mm (were on the back) and rears 3mm. Got them switched every 10,000 miles. Wasn't sure how long ago I had got them and then realsied that they have done 33,000 miles (over 2.5 years). Really please and realised I really don't drive the car that hard.

Found the tires good in the dry and not bad in the wet - with 3/4mm now they are noticeably less grippy and spin up the fronts if I stick my toe down.

Used to be very sure footed but now thinking they may need to go as it is winter. If it were spring (dry roads for a few months) I would keep them on but with wet/cold weather coming it may be time to change. Never thought I would consider changing tires with 3 or 4mm of tread.

I am looking at the Uniroyal Rainsport 2's - although available there was a rumour of them being discontinued.

The Goodrich has been a good tire for me with 30,000+ miles and the realisation that I am a Sunday driver! A good mid-range tire, ideal for mid-size family car like a Golf, Astra, Focus. Good grip in dry/wet and bags of mileage if you only go quick in a straight line.....

I have a Seat Leon 2004 Tdi 130 if anyone has any suggestions that won't break the bank.

These tires came fitted when I bought the car and I would never buy this brand again. The dry grip is acceptable but the first time I drove in the wet was shocking; I drive a 1.9 TDI diesel and even under light acceleration these tires will loose traction and as for going around corners - forget it! The car will plough straight on with these tires fitted.

These tires are so bad in the wet, that with the winter months approaching, I am now going to replace them even though they are nowhere near fully worn.

How can a preimum brand like pirelli sell such utter rubbish?

I bought these tires after reading good reviews on this site, and to be honest I don't do reviews but wanted to due to buying them on others recommendation so thought I should do the same.
Had the tires for approx 7,000 miles, so far so good, the grip is fantastic as I drive to work on lots of country roads about 28 miles each way and the comfort, grip and low noise is really good. I would recommend these tires to anyone and will definetly be having them again, I know some will say there are better tires out there and yes there is but at a higher price. These tires are well worth the money.
