Hello all, 

just joined and would like advice for VRS tyres as my Continentals at 3mm or below road track and also turning goes very lite on steering.

very disconcerting 

not sure I want to go back to Continental Conti tyres again

thanks in anticipation

That's a bag of worms you've just opened!

 

Plenty of discussion on this in the Tyre Zone:

Personally, my preferences for a vRS are Pilot Sport 4's (or 5's now obviously), Goodyear Eagle assymetricals, Avon ZV7's, and Hankook Ventus v12's. Although I'm currently running Cross Climate 2's on one GTI and PS4's on the other.

 

CC2's are a good year rounder.  There are other all season tyres to choose from, some of which reportedly have a better Summer/warmer weather focus.

 

The world's your lobster really when it comes to tyre choice.  Depends a lot on where you are, your driving style, and what you're looking for - something that'll get you about better in snow/colder weather, or a tarmac terrorist summer thrashable.

I second what Gaz has said. Alot dont seem to like the OEM spec Pirelli but cant go far wrong with Michelin PS4/PS5 or Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5's. But really depends on alot of things including budget.

 

If 19" a common change is to go from 225 to 235 width tyres. Improves comfort and grip a tiny bit, looks better and is a cheaper size.

Hello

well thanks for the comment. I have standard size wheels to save altering insurance premiums and especially as it’s never too late to choose tyres for winter running. 
or do I need to change wheel sizes

(?😩😩😩) 

more for winter use until day March next year

many thanks all and look forward to positive advice🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I have michelin pilot sport 5 on my vrs, best tyres I've ever owned. . Cornering grip is superb wet or dry

vrs’burks,

what are the Michelins like in winter weather and snow?

many thanks
