For me the change has been greatly welcomed as the ride quality is improved no end and I wouldn't say the handling has altered detrimentally, certainly not for the road anyway. If it were a track car I would stay with the 60's as they are more urgent but I really am enjoying the car much more for general driving. Only disadvantage is changing all 5, however they are standard VW Polo tyre's so readily available and cheap for top branded options.
Feedback much appreciated. Although I changed all 4 road tyres in late 2016, my spare is OEM and so now 12 years old but never used, so not a bad idea to change it anyway.
