Best tyres for 130bhp
« on: 10 July 2006, 19:19 »
HI guys what tyres do you have on the front of your tdi's i have a gt tdi 130bhp with the 15" alloys and dunlop sp sport tyres which i think are rubbish in the dry and really rubbish in the wet i.e going round corners and trying to pull away is almost impossible with any sort of power on, i am looking to getting some 16" at some point, any suggestions will be helpfull

got MIchelin Pilot Primacy's on the front and Pirelli P6000's on the back.  they were on the car when i bought it.  I'm impressed by the Michey's and will probably get some more when they go.  Not a fan of the P6000's mine.

A few peeps on here recommend BRidgestones - RE720 or something like that  :undecided: may well try some IF i can find any!  :sad:

I've got Continentals on my gt tdi 130, they seem ok in the dry but there not very good if its damp or rainin, I'm gettin ready for some new tyres on the front, so I'd be interrested myself, if anyone has any recommendations. Or then again i'm thinkin of dumping the standard alloys and getting some rs4 18's, not sure wat to do !!!!  :undecided:

Goodyears all round on my 130, again they were on the car when I bought it but I don't have any complaints.
