Oh dear.

8.5s are tight...so this is going to include much stretch, poke, tuck, or some such other pointless scene bollox.  :whistle:

Black and rubbery?

Ok, wrong answer!!   :grin:

The Watkins are for a colleague of mine who is sensible enough to stay away from internet forums.
But if a set came up at the right price I might keep them and sell him my Shadows. Or something.
 
I think the tyres on the CKs are about half worn, Conti 3 235/35/19s
Not sure what I'll do with them to be honest. Half thinking about getting a mk7 this year as wifey wants to move next year, but if we end up moving this year all thoughts of new cars will be out of the window for a few years so the mk6 will probably end up getting stage 2 treatment when the warranty runs out.
If I get a mk7 the CKs could go on it but I'd probably sell them to help fund the mods on the next car and keep the standard Swastika Monzas that come on it and just add spacers to beef it up a bit. Dunno. It's all money at the end of the day and a mk7 will only appear if I get a really strong trade in on the mk6. Quite happy with the mk6 though!! Tough choice but it's either change soon or get saddled with a big mortgage again and not be able to justify changing at all!!

Glad you asked?!!!  :laugh:
