Golf GTI Edition 35 : 2 new front tyres Michelin Pilot Sport 5 225/40/18 at 60,500 miles

last time new front tyres (PS4)  fitted were at an MOT in Aug 2021 


Car is now at 60,500 miles

Large screw in the sidewall ended the right front PS4
tread approx 4mm ! 

So the PS4 fronts have lasted 10,000 miles for 50% worn (from Aug 2021 MOT at approx 50,000 miles)

I always replace in pairs

So move to the new (ish) Michelin Pilot Sport 5

Fitted from Tyres On the Drive (Halfords)

Used them last time , great service again.

PS5 new starts with >7mm tread

PS5 new things.

greater tread life (higher wear rating 340 vs 320)
fancy sidewall
bit noisier
Wear2Check indicator 3 'holes' representing 25/50/75 % wear 





PS4 : C A 71db
PS5 : C A 72db
