Title: Tyres For Your GTI Whats Best
Post by: Captain Sensible on 10 February 2010, 15:23

Tyres play such a big part in how a car handles , also how much road noise is generated into the cabin. Having cancelled my Monza shadow alloys in favour of a set of BBS – CV’s

I fancied trying a set of Vredestein’s unfortunately the company I will buy the BBS from don’t sell them so I will stick with trusted Michelin and the Pilot Sport tyre. Michelin tend to be more expensive but in my experience last longer than most other makes and are also great on wet roads something that’s important to me living in the West Of Scotland.

Whets your preference and recommendation

Just noticed the link above does not work. Try this one and then click on the Golf to enlarge the picture. Personally I think the Monza shadow wheels look great on a white GTI . However I have ordered mine in Pearl black and think these alloys look good on the golf.

Only just done 3.8k in my golf. No where near time for new rubber yet!
