Tyres for Golf 140Tdi
Wife's Gold needs a new set of front shoes. It's been a long time since I bought tyres for a FWD car so after some recommendations please.
Car has OEM Mich Energy (205/55/16 V91 ) which are a little noisy in my opinion.
Need something predictable, good in the wet, quiet, good wear.
Have been offered Eagle NCT5 at 69.99 each.

I had Eagle NCTs on my old Volvo T4, it used to chew 'em up in under 10K miles.
My Passat diesel had Conti Sportcontacts as factory fit. Very predictable handling and lasted over 30K on the front / 40K on rear, not bad for a heavy barge with high torque, and I always drive with TCS off.
They are a bit noisy on certain surfaces but very good value, they're usually about £80 each.
