Best Tires for the Volkswagen Polo 6R 1.6

Initial thought on these on my little eco box Polo 6R. Wanted something good in the wet and never owned Vredstein so gave it a go.
Quiet and comfy overall, grippy in the dry. In wet haven't had the change to test much but seems stable and grippy.
They look deflated even in XL in my dimension so I inflated do +0.2 bar.
Not impressed nor disappointed for now.
But surely better that anything most people are buying these days - the brands I've never heard of in my life :/
I actually replaced these from Kenda (China) that came with the car.
Even though new I'm not driving a tire that says made in china - even though only 1 year old and looks new - they span me out in the wet couple of times that I was shocked and instantly took them off for a EU known brand in the mid range like Vredstein.

Been fitted on my Polo for more than a year now. The grip on dry road is exceptional, way more than I was used to with my old Goodyear efficient grip perf. even when these were new. The car is planted and stable at cornering and aggressive inputs to the steering wheel. Dry braking is also very good. I've pushed these tires hard on twisty mountain roads and I can tell you these are very good performers.

In the rain they perform well and with no surprise. No aquaplanning noted but always driving safely when wet.

Wear seems a bit much, they appear to be at 75% life remaining after one year and 15000Km. This was to be expected from the good dry grip. You lose some you win some.

I'd buy again for the price and performance but I hope the new pattern will be available on my size when I change these.

specially dry braking performance is awful, I was using continental winter contact ts807, and I changed tires to summer petlas pt311, conti was better dry braking at summer times, the always using abs when I am braking with petlas

For amazing 2 years and half i wore it. Daily driving to work travel back and forth. Amazing tire but my sizing rims not fit to 205/45 tire feel a bit stretch. But for the high speed quite noise for my car, because of the size of my rims. Touge on Genting, ulu yam and so on i feel like wow this tire definitely grip but a bit soft. After i change to 215/45 yes! Comfort mode turn on. What a amazing city run and yes still using until today. Definitely worth the money for tight budget.

The best tires ever. Has been drive total of 800,000km with my 3 cars. RE003, ZE914, UC6, Pilot Sport, my fav still PS3. Best handling and Price worthy.

Had these on my mk5 vw polo. By far one of the best tires in the premium class.
Grip in the dry is very good and confidence inspiring. Still excellent in the wet. Will aquaplane a little in extremely wet conditions. Does well to maintain traction when taking off from standstill. Wear is also reasonably good. I like how quiet they are as well.

This is my first set of All Season tires. Before I was using summer tires (Dunlop) and Nokian winter tires (can't remember on top of my head models). I am driving with WeatherControl tires for almost 1 year now.
What I found is that Bridgestone A005 are incredibly comfortable compared to the Nokian as well as to Dunlop. Nokian were very noisy and handling was not always pleasant because too soft on side. Dunlop were simply terrible tires even if handling in summer was a little bit better than the A005.
During summer A005 perform well on dry surfaces but the best you can get out of them is on wet. I was really impressed by the stability of the car and even by the sense of safety that you can get from the steering. During winter and wet condition I had same feeling.
On Snow unfortunately is not really the best tires you can have. Of course compared to my previous Nokian we are far behind but I was expecting to have a bit more. I had issues a couple of times on soft snow and ice where was quite complicated to arrive up to the hills (I am quite experienced driver with almost 25 years of driving, living on mountains for almost 20 years).
If I will be asked to buy A005 again I will definitely go for them again but only on small-mid size car. For bigger cars I would look at Michelin CrossClimate/CrossClimate+ or the newest Verdestein Quatrac Pro.

EXCELLENT TYRE BOTH ON WET AND DRY WEATHER, I HAVE MY SECOND SET OF TIRES FITTED ON AND ON THE FIRST SET I HAVE GOT 73251KM , I AM ALREADY OVER 40 000KM ON THE SECOND SET AND IT STILL HAS ENOUGH THREAD, THERE IS NO VIBRATION AS I CONSTANTLY ROTATE MY TIRES EVERY 10 000KM

I've been using my PS4 since 2017 April. Up till now (30k km), it still work quite impressive. Dry condition, superb... wet condition, excellent until you reach 50% of usage...then it start to skid a little bit when its raining and when you hit puddle ( note that this happen when i drove my car above 60mph)

Dry condition, yes totally superb. I'm a spirited driver and once have a trackday in Sepang using this tire. The feedback was superb and I love it. Sharp turn is predictable and easy to handle around Sepang. Sidewall is stiff and makes the tire last longer.

Nice grip on the first 3.000 km. Very strong side walls, ang good predictable handling. Road feedback is poor due the softness of the compound, but its very silent. I use the set on 8j 17 rims, so they are almost stretched and the pressure is always about 40lbs, it keeps grippy and becames slightly more tight. Its treadwear 280, but its not true. In fact you will not get on 20.000 km with a set. The good atribuitions dont least for more than 5.000 km and the grip will decrease, specially on wet.
