not every floors it do they, plus if they were to dangerous to use then they wouldn't be approved to be sold would they.

(think about it).

Im not talking about flooring it just driving in the wet for instance.. and you have a gti and dont floor it ?? whats wrong with you lol  :laugh: :laugh:

Them tyres are terrible honestly.. and i dont recon they will last 5 minutes.. i have falken's fitted at the moment and they are in the middle of budget to top end and i think they are really bad.. god knows how a car would handle on them.. just my 2p worth up to you at end of day..

Ive actually had them on there for 4 months with no problems in all types of weather including the bad snow we had, and there are still over 5mm worth of thread on them.

I can understand your point, if i took it on a track then i would see the difference compared to a top end tyre but my car is not used for that.

its not so much like just cheap and i personally think part worn tyre's that people buy everyday are far more dangerous than my option, I would of paid the same price for part worn's most likely.

and I have two mk4 GTI's to maintain so can be quite expensive if I went for higher budget tyre's.

I'd rather spend more on keeping the cars well maintained,

quite a few of the budget tyres are made by the same companies but under a differnt name so it doesnt cheapen there brand.

but the difference between budget and good tyres is night and day
