In this video I fit Goodyear's award winning all season tyre to my Mk8 Golf GTI Clubsport to see if it is all the tyre the average driver could ever need.

Being a bit of a "tyre anorak", that was particularly interesting - I'm seriously thinking of a set of aftermarket alloys with all weather tyres for my Wife's Edition 1 35 tfsi A3 & just leaving them on permanently (until the car goes back). It's very noisy on the standard 19" wheels (more so than my R Estate on Spielbergs, same tyre size). Thinking that's a better plan than full winters (the Audisport wheels are a nightmare to refurbish)!
I did have a set of 19” Santiago’s on my mk7, but after having a set of 18 Austin wheels with Cross Climates on for the winter - I’m an 18” convert! The ride is much more comfortable and the tyres are significantly less expensive.
I've been running these on our daily honda jazz for just over a year now. I'm generally very happy with them, perform well in the rain and snow, also good grip in the summer. However I've found they don't like to be pushed hard in the warmer months.
I have to say Goodyear have some great tyres. I am also running Asymmetric 5s and they are great. Quiet-ish on the motorway but the handling and breaking are great. Will be buying them again
I don't rate Plod around where I live but they do have Goodyear Vector All Season Tyres fitted to their vehicles. Myself, I have Goodyear Efficient Grip tyres on my VW and I am pretty impressed with them, despite them not being an all season tyre.
Excellent informative video . Thank you . We live on the North Yorkshire Moors and run three cars . One , the Cupra ST300 has Hankook winters . The 2006 Fiat 500 has( after 38000 miles ) gone from Michelin cross climates to Vrederstein Wintracs all season tyres. That is because we have been so impressed by the Vrederstein Wintracs fitted to our sixteen year old MX5 . I have used winters /all season tyres since 2006, That was a bad winter
Watched your older video and ended up with the Mitchellin Cross Climate 2. Already used them in the snow and it was a massive improvement, my old Pirelli were useless. I don’t drive my car hard so I’ll never go back to a summer tyre. Takes the anxiety out of driving in the winter.
Great vid! I put some 18” with Michelins CC2’s on my 7.5 GTD, coming from 19’s with factory Pirellis i found exactly as you said. They have a much less direct feel with lower ultimate grip level but the ride is massively better for daily driving and have great feedback to the wheel. I find the 19’s tend to give you nothing and then skit along the surface in a slide condition. I do enjoy driving the 19’s more though in the warmer months i have to say so would not use these all year round. Switching back for the summer months but worth the investment for the winter where a full winter tyre isn’t needed but that extra wet and cold grip gives you confidence whatever the weather. For the record my mpg (real world) dropped by around 2 on average from 19” summers.
Hi. Do you recommend to install AlloyGator on my 19 inch wheels MK8 ?
Interesting video as always! I have been running CrossClimate2 on my 2016 Golf GTI PP (225/40 18) since September and enjoy driving on them in all conditions! I never feel lacking in grip on the roads here in Scotland but if I had the option I would run CrossClimate2 for autumn to spring and PS4/PS5 or Eagle F1 for summer on the roads.
Good review as always Andrew. Food for thought when my tyres will need replacing later this year.
Very interesting video, not just the tyres but for me the choice of wheel size too. My GTD is coming (eventually!) with the standard 18” which I like the look of, and although at first I wished I had ordered 19’s was glad I didn’t as this is a company car and I’ll be doing 35-40k miles per year so comfort, noise and economy play a factor. I’ve also specced DCC so hopefully I’ll get the best of both worlds regards comfort and handling.
Always enjoy your videos about the Clubsport, usually I agree with most of what you say but I think your unduly harsh about the Richmond alloys, I think to most ‘non petrol heads’ they look good and actually suit the car very well, sure there maybe better wheels available but they are no where near as bad as you make out in my humble opinion. I have exactly the same Silver Clubsport with the Richmond alloys and am always getting compliments.
I switched to these on my mk7.5pp after some dicey moments losing the back end below 5-7C on potenza s001s in December. The grip has been unreal at lower temperatures especially when wet, I can't induce any oversteer. However my steering definitely feels less direct and the car is more "floaty" (admittedly a bit better after 1K miles). I suspect I'll be wanting to get a set of dedicated summers before long but we will see how they do.
I've been running Vredestien Quatrac Pro all season tyres 225 50 x 18 on my X1 25D with adaptive suspension. Fantastic all round tyre, maybe biased more toward dry handling but these days unless you track day the car there are no penalties for going all season with a good brand.
The more I see the MK8 , the more I am warming to it. I truly love the MK7 and my old mk2 . I think the MK8 is a cracking looker
Good choice! I currently use winter and summer tyres on one of my cars but reckon for south east England you are better off with summer and 4 season tyres as the winter weather is so temperature variable. Had you heard Goodyear have a replacement asymmetric 6 tyres out now?
Hi,
Impressive mpg figures on that, from someone running a mk5 gti Im envious considering the newer cars added performance
hey. can I use VWR17G8R600. says it fits 8Y A3 and S3 isnt listed. it used to be listed . i bought this for my 2022 s3. i have the evo intake
