Best Tires for the Vauxhall Astra j 2.0

My Astra Sri came with continental Tues which drive like a dream .. I chose Goodyear based on paper rating .. it was just a bad choice .. the handled like a squidgy ball and the road rumble made be want to write off the car .. I changed the fronts to continental sport contact today and instantly I love my car again .. never in my life am I buying Goodyear again 🤬

Got these for my astra j 2.0 cdti Dry grip is excellent . Wet grip is excellent. Comfort as expected in tires this low profile not good. Wear seems good done 8k miles and they still have the little nubs from new on them seem to be wearing very well and I fly up and down some seriously twisty roads daily. Aquaplaning seems to be pretty good obviously the low profile doesn't help. Handling I'd best describe as glued to the road they feel completely stable, no side wall flex steering is ultra precise and the amounts of grip available is plentiful to the point your skill becomes the inhibiting factor. I've had Michelin PS4 and continental premium contact 6 and pzero's and by far the best all-rounders are the Goodyear's I'd say the PS4 might have a slight noise and comfort edge and the slightest edge in the dry but behind considerably in the wet. All in all brilliant tires.

First off these tires are simply the best if you want excellent dry and wet grip combined with good wear and good comfort these tires are for you.

I have a astra j 2.0 cdti on eibach springs and shocks with 500nm and 230hp and these tires perfectly compliment them.

They more than handle the power and help the front wheels get the traction they need to put the power down all other tires I had spun even at 20mph under acceleration these only spin from a stand still in the wet.

The dry handling is just .... Amazing simply brilliant , I have had conti contact sport , pirellie, michilin and they are all inferior before these eagle f1 I had the Goodyear efficient grip performance which where good but the eagle f1 are just another league, I drive the A7 daily in Scotland a very windy road and these tires handle the road beautifully they are incredibly responsive to steering input are comfortable when going over pot holes which in Scotland there is plenty, but the most amazing thing is the way they bite into the road in corners where I would take them at 50-55 I can go 70 and still feel more grip for the car to use, ride comfort is also good and they have a nice firm sidewall so the car doesent feel like its falling on its side such as with the conti and michillins, and this tire also shines in the wet it feels just as good in the wet as in the dry. Wear is also really good. Only tire that is anywhere near as good handling is Yokohama advanced sport v105 but the wear on them is pretty poor in comparison.

I would highly highly recommend these tires 10/10 will buy again and again.
