Best Tires for the Volkswagen Polo 19.TDI Sport

I had these fitted in November 2021 but never had a chance to test in real Wintry conditions. They were refitted in Nov to my Polo and this week Sun 11 Dec 2022 we had our first snow in SE UK. I went out in the car the following day and here are my thoughts: Slushy roads - good grip and will get you out of problems but be careful - no hard breaking or accelerating as they will slip but still give traction Ice - good grip but again be careful with breaking / accelerating Pristine snow - wow, excellent - hill starts, downhill and general grip is fantastic. Overall feel very safe with these tires on.

I have had a set of these on my car since November 2017. Living in the southeast of England we have not had much snow since then and I have no real experience of performance in that kind of weather. However, they have been excellent tires generally in warm and cold weather and I have done 31,000 miles on them - changing over once from back to front. These are the best wearing tires I have ever had.

I have a Polo sedan that came with special developed Goodyears DPV1. They had AWESOME braking and very decent feedback, but were noisy, very prone to loose contact with the ground when traveling at high speeds over road imperfections and the steering response was veeery slow. This Michelin tires are awesome +Soft construction yet quick steering response +High lateral grip and very good braking in dry +Good acceleration and very decent braking in wet +VERY good at displacing very deep water (No hydroplaning) +Very comfortable +They absorbe road imperfections like nothing else, they don't loose traction over bumps - The feedback is very poor. You don't feel the imperfections but you also don't feel the tire braking traction until you already lost it. - On wet (Particularly over not asphalt roads) the lateral grip reduces a lot (As expected) but since the feedback is poor, you suddenly loose traction. Not to a dangerous level and not at low speeds. But to drive fast in the wet they surely demand an experienced driver and quick reaction. Overall the tires are very good, I qualified them high on handling because of the awesome steering response, traction and lateral grip despite it's lack of feedback. They are really hard to hydroplane on and so far I like them. If I found problems with them or they wear out too fast I'll report, so if this is my last sentence take this as definitive.

It is the saddest news i have heard. Sp 2000 is one of the best tires i have ever put on my car. That is the best tires you have ever made. please bring back the tire.

Mounted yesterday, before this having Yokohama c-drive. From yesterday drived 400km. With Dunlop car is more stable, less noise, and so soft. I think that I made a good step. Only problem from what I am little aware is wear problem. Great tire.

Bought these tires to repalce Firesone which were down to the limit. Fitted on front better feel than the out going tires even before they were down to the limit. Swopped them to the back as recomended . Yet again fine. Good tire good price
Would definatly buy agian

Very good in the dry you can make them squeal but they stay planted in the wet very dodgy very easy to just break away

Nice tire but tire makes 'n noise when about 7MM is still left.

Had a pair fitted to the front, Very Poor wear life Just under 10,000 miles untill they needed to be replaced. Dry grip ok, Wet there very Poor.
