damian35 Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Hi, I just have just replaced 2 of the original Bridgestone Potenza RE050 on my VW Golf Mk6 with Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2. The Goodyear's have rightly or wrongly gone on the back, with the Bridgestone's moved to the front. Since having them fitted on Thursday, I've noticed significantly more noise and quite irritating. This is particularly apparent in the 20 - 30 mph range and I can only describe the sound as a cross between a humming and a rubbing noise (a bit like when brakes need to be replaced). Given that everything was fine before the change, all I can think it is something to do with the tyres. Being a novice on these things but wanting a high level of safety, I went with the Goodyear's on the basis of some of the reviews on the web. Does anyone have any comments on this - could it be that the Goodyear's and the Golf are not a great match went it comes to noise? Many thanks for any views, Damian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooflessdriver Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Not tried the Asymmetric 2 but I know the old GSD3's were noisy. Used to swear by the F1's until I tried Toyo T1R's for a change. Very similar wear & performance, but not as noisy and less tramlining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 I'm not keen on moving "bedded in tyres", have the Goodyears put on the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
