18” to 19” - car feels slower

[Fabio Bignose]

40 Profile rubber is optimum for comfort and handling.

19” wheels on a Golf only look good when the car is approached from ‘square on’ ( perpendicular? ) but from most other angles 19” on a Golf look too big.

Prets ‘slightly’ buck this trend because of their ‘delicate’ design but the standard 19” Cadiz forced on ROI  Golf R customers look ham fisted and ‘heavy’..

If the GTI and R are ‘everyday, all purpose, do everything cars’ they do not need 35 profile rubber.!

I will do a video to compare how much slower the 19" against the 17"

With this awsome thing

Sub to my channel if you want to know how bad the 19" are..

Even though it does feel a tad slower I’m glad I did it as it looks 100% better.

No arch gap, wheels fill the arches. Wouldn’t change it back at all.

Have you bought that already?

Good article in Top Gear magazine this month (I didn't buy it), saying that making us hanker after bigger wheels is a massive con by marketing executives.  If you look at high performance cars from 20 years ago, I think he used a BMW as an example, the ride was way better back than, as it had smaller wheels and bigger tyres than the current models. Another example was a F1 car, small wheels, chunky tyres.  I tend to agree, as the ride in Mk5 on 17s was way better than the ride in my Mk7 on 18s. You live and learn.

f1 use the chunky tyres for suspension

Yes  , will do a review of it. Think it is a interesting device

Argh... too late! Had another suggestion around half the price for you.

I have another such device myself (not the one I had in mind for you) and love it for comparing all changes I do to the car, as well as logging my track times. Does P600 offer track maps and track logging apart from the straight line accelerations?

Aha 

Yes track logging!. But the best thing that i was looking for was use the camera and get a overlay on the screen. 

 

Like this, but better quality than this video..

I don't see track logging in that video (like your position on the track's map, sectors, lap times etc.) but i guess you could connect it to RaceChrono as an external device anyway.

Any particular reason you want video on the acceleration times? It would be nice but all I'm looking at when people post GPS times is the slope figures!

I get back when i have tested this device, a review is coming. I have used Racechrone. But think this is the next level...i hope

I like to have a video of the accleration times, think it looks more awsome....
