Thanks, I can feel a petition to VW coming on... :smiley:

I don't quite understand your question, but the tyres on the Interlagos wheels are Pirelli P Zeros. Monzas get Bridgestone Potenzas, Continental SportContacts or, if you're lucky, Michelin Pilot Sports.

P Zero whats?  Rossos, Neros? :huh:

I don't think Pilot Sports were ever factory fitted - they were Pilot Exaltos, which is one step below the Sports. :nerd:

And if you are unlucky, you'll get the Dunflop ShyteMaxx  :sick:
