Volkswagen Polo BlueGT 6R Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Uniroyal RainSport 3 given 96% (215-40-17-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 spirited miles
The tires have transformed my car,much more supple and smoother riding,steering feel much improved and the grip especially in tricky conditions is excellent,to top it all the tire is quieter than the potenzas that were originally on the car.Only done 1k on them but they look brand new!,a simply brilliant tire.

Writing about the Dunlop SP Sport Maxx given 54% (215-40-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 28000 average miles
These tires, 215/40 R17, came with the car, a Polo BlueGT and whilst they're good in the dry, are pretty much a let down in every other regard, excepting possibly wear. After around 28,000 miles, there's about 3-4mm left. Putting the power on in a corner, it is quite easy to lift a back wheel off the ground, but without power to pull the car through, the under steer is terrible. I am not confident with these tires in the wet and once the temperature falls below 5 or so degrees, there is no grip at all except on a totally dry surface (hence the winter tires). The Polo chassis probably doesn't help, but I have driven other Polo 6R's (loan cars) that felt more sure footed.
These tires give the car a very firm and jittery ride, don't react well to surface imperfections and so noisy, even winter tires (Goodyear Ultra 9) are noticeably quieter.
So, I've had enough of them and will be replacing the 17 inch wheels with 16 inch in order to change to slightly narrower but thicker and (thankfully) quieter tires.
