cool thanks Wayne. Do you know if the original ones were performance tyres or std all weather types?

IRRC my 1993 8v had Michelin Pilot Sports on (195/50/15) but then they want to 205/50/15 less grippy but longer life efforts.
Just all weather types.
The 1996 Anniversary GTIs were back on more high performance tyres - 215/40/16 Dunlop SP8000s I think - not great, but better than the longer life, less grippy GTI efforts.
They never came with what we'd consider 'summer' or 'ultra-high preformance' tyres. Only all weather performance tyres - but they weren't generic all season things either, as they were always fairly high speed rated - Vs I think on GTIs and Ws on Annis.
