The video is over 11 minutes long! I'm a very busy man :wink: Is there an executive summary? :whistle:

Best in dry - 19 inch (sharpest handling)
Best in wet - 17 inch (most predictable)
Best for NVH (Noise Vibration Harshness) - 17 most comfortable, but 18 quietest
Best all round tyre size for the Golf GTI - 18 inch

Edit: or watch 8:10 to 9:20.

Excellent thanks  :smiley:

Was just looking at tyrereview.co.uk and spotted this video. He just happens to be using a Mk7 Golf GTI for the test :cool:

The differences between 17,18 & 19 inch tyres tested and explained - https://youtu.be/mPyg3ilw3KU

Edit: the UK configurator lists the wrong tyre sizes for the GTI. The review is correct.

These tyres are crazy good!. I picked them to my new wheels!

It very intressting that he says that is bigger diffrent between brands then size

My 19" 235 are much quieter than the stock Bridgestone Potenza in 18" 225.. :smiley:

Wooden cart wheels would be quieter than the Bridgestone tyres.
