My last MK7 GTI came with Potenza S001 tyres and when I changed them to Eagle F1 series 3 I thought they were quieter. I now have a new MK7.5 face-lifted GTI again fitted with Potenza S001 all round. Wheel size is 18".
I would be interested in opinions on these Bridgestone tyres particularly in terms of noise and ride quality. I am convinced that this face-lifted model has far more cabin noise that the original 2014 MK7 GTI. Now whether that perceived increase in noise is from the tyres or elsewhere I am unsure though of course road noise is generated through the tyres. I have only had this car for a week or so and I am reluctant to spend out on replacing tyres but I will do so if there is a noticeable benefit particularly relating to noise.
