SEAT Ibiza FR 1.4 TSI Tires

Great tires , would recommend to anyone looking for a new set of winter tires. Dry grip is very good and i was suprised at how good the wet grip is. With 3000 miles on them i am seeing very little wear. The only downside is road feedback which could be better.

Got these tires with the car fitted @ factory.
At start they were great. Great grip - and I actually enjoy the stiff sidewalls and stiff ride.

But after around 10k of mild driving - front grip and turning grip is almost horrible. The tires lose grip on most acceleration from a complete stop or slow rolling - they understeer easily with the slightest pedal input.

Breaking is great even after 22k km.
Wear is insane even after 5 track days. Tires still have around 5 mm left and shoulderd are not badly worn.

But now after grip is lost, all that is left is the stiffness. I hate these tires.
Gonna replace them very very soon.

I've had a variety of tires in the past from cheap to premium including Bridgestone, Pirelli and Continental. These tires are by far the best. The traction in the dry is great and in the wet it's even better. The tires feel solid and are very smooth round corners with very little noise in comparison to my old P7s. The high rim is also great as it provides a little extra alloy protection. I haven't yet done thousands of miles but I've done about 250 and the pimples are still there. It did take a good 100 or so to wear them in so have a little patience when you first get them. I just have 2 on the front at the moment but for the 1st time I'm actually looking forward to replacing my rears next year. Until now its been quite hard to get good grip off the line from my 220bhp front wheel drive car. Would I buy again... YES!
