Wine essential and only thing keeping me sane at the moment apart from Westons Cider!

My experience of the Potenza in the past has been mixed to be fair. Had them on a Megane RS280 and they only lasted 8k on the front! Grip was ok but I hadn’t experienced MPSS at that time. Will probably also look to swap out when they have given up at 8K!?

Contis are a golf r staple and I was under the impression they were well liked..

No factory tour yet which is disappointing as the in laws live 3 miles away! Just genuinely never got around to sorting childcare / transport etc. If you head to their website they have got some stowfords 500ml bottles which go out of date end of May on sale! 12 for £15 delivered! Bargain!

Thanks. On a health drive at the moment...theoretically! Highly recommend the tour.... make sure you're not designated driver in the day!

That's good to know. What I have noticed so far having during my first 5000kms, is that the Contis have less road noise. I can't get them to loose traction... I did my first Launch in the wet and there was no loss of traction at all. Mind you the temp was about 16°C and the tyres had time to warm up to some degree.

It is baffling with the 2 series GC coming there? I can only assume they would rather you buy an X1 or X3.
