Title: New Tyres
Post by: robbo651 on 27 February 2014, 15:43

Hi Guys,

Newbie here. I have a MK6 GTI and the tyres are coming close to changing.

Does anyone have any recommendations on what to get and where to get them from?

Thanks

what size wheels and tyres you got?

i have had a good experience with these (also ordered from this place 3 times already, always good):

225/40 18.

I was recommended to look at ears.co.uk/tyres (http://ears.co.uk/tyres) for car tyres

I've heard good things about Pirellis, http://ears.co.uk/tyres/pirelli-p-zero-rosso-car-tyres/1866-225-40-18-pirelli-p-zero-rosso-xl-92y-car-tyre-8019227155808.html (http://ears.co.uk/tyres/pirelli-p-zero-rosso-car-tyres/1866-225-40-18-pirelli-p-zero-rosso-xl-92y-car-tyre-8019227155808.html)

No used ears.co.uk before so can't say if they're any good. all i know is that mytyres.co.uk is delticom and they ship from germany (here in <48hrs thou).

Personally I'd go for the Nokian zLine, or maybe the Hakka black, they also come in 225 40 18 but am sure the Pirelli is good too (got the Pirelli Cinturato P7 225/45/17 on my Mk7).
