To be fair, the Goodyears posted the 2nd fastest time in wet @ 47.9, with Conti's in @ 47.5 but Evo rated the tyres in that order.

Also the tyre size used was 235/40/18 and on an S3 (variable 4wd) and a Golf.

If i was looking for a dedicated track tyre, i wouldnt be looking at the above unless i was running a set of 'wets' and where to be used in general day to day driving

And the mag was released in Feb 2012
