£256 lighter, but oodles more grip.

Fitted a pair of GY Assym 3s to the front yesterday. Grip seems good and they're definitely a quieter tyre than the Assym 2s which they replaced.


Sent from my piece of shite iPhone - according to Muz.

Look at the size difference (Pipercross is on top)

That's a coincidence, I was just considering doing the same today!
Please report back on any differences you notice.
Is it a 'dry' type?

I'll report back tomorrow when I drive the car.

And yes it's the dry type, not that I know what the wet type feels like lol

'Wet' type uses oil in the filter which needs replacing after cleaning. Not good for our cars though as far as I can tell.
I'll look forward to your thoughts tomorrow!

What sort of power increase do they suggest these provide? Presume they are warranty safe as well?


They don't quote actual figures but they imply more power and better economy, but then they would wouldn't they!
I am interested as I'm running a 'TDI Tuning' tuning box which is just brilliant and I thought it might help. Guess I'm getting greedy now!

Forgot to say, they claim it is warranty friendly but I would remove it before a service, just to be safe.

Maybe I'm paranoid, I just assume the dealer would find any excuse to avoid a warranty claim if the worst happened. Should I have more faith?

Hmm, I'll let you decide what to do the day before a service. No doubt I'll be thinking the same haha
