Title: Best 18" tires for GTI MKVI?
Post by: gti210ps on 13 June 2012, 13:54
I've heard excellent reviews on the P zeros, but way too expensive.  I've been using the Michelin Pilot Sport 3 for ages now both on my GTI as well as on my previous 170PS GT (MKV).  Have been extremely disappointed on the ContiSport as well as on the Pirelli something [can't recall the type, it shows you how good they were].  Basically the ones both my cars had on when i bought them were total crap.

Anyone with any good tips?

Hankook Ventus V12 Evo's.

Seriously, these tyres should not be dismissed due to their brand name. No more Michelin PS3's for me.

LMFAO  :laugh:

Had Pilot Sports on my ED30 from the factory brilliant. Had Dunlops and Conti's on MK6; average. Got P Zero's on ED35 from the factory awesome! These are 19's and are way better than 18's, the turn in and steering is transformed. Ride is harder but worth it!

I have good years ass 2s now and there very good.

I think I might go back to conti sport 5s next though, if they don't have the pattern on the edge So they look crap after only half there life.
