Pics of the Goodyear rimmage would be good on 18"s.

Good bits:

Much quieter

Steering feel is better

Grip is better

Handling feels much better

Wet weather much better

In short better, faster, quieter and they don't scrabble for grip from standstill under full throttle anymore. The best part is the feeling if confidence they give you.


Bad bit:

They look like big fat tractor tyres, which kinda fits  :grin:

I've got some new rims and tyres  for my disco bus too, I'll fit them next week and glue some pics up  :wink:

Thanks for that but its hard to see the rimmage from those photos.  Needs a side profile, looking along the tyre/wheel.  I do like the Bridgestones rimmage as they have save my Vancouvers twice.

Just bought a full set of Goodyear F1 asymmetric 2's for my GTD - I'll review them once they have scrubbed in ;-)

And yes Asker they have massive rim protection - so much so that they look like 4x4 tyres  :grin:

Pics to follow once it's been cleaned tomorrow  :wink:

Just ordered a full set of those for my GTI as well. They will be fitted mon/tue next week. I'm having the new tyres fitted on my Monza's shadows which are going back on the car :wink:
