life can be sooo cruel sometimes.

Damn right. I had to bend down and everything! 

It's a long way down when you're 6ft 3" heh FroGTI?

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?

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

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

Oi TT, don't start about the Dunlops again! 

Is that what you got then?

Yes, remember we had a big to and fro about them!

I got dunlops and kicked up a right fuss at dealers to no avail. Quoting you guys off this forum. Didn't get me anywhere. I got told VW wouldn't put them on the GTI if they wernt up to the job.
 I went on to state others had contact 3's etc.. and why not mine And he couldn't give me an answer

I've done 3500 miles on the Dunlops and think they are a great tyre, others disagree but it's your car with your tyres so you be the judge.  I was gutted too when I saw them but they've been just fine.

Oh, righty (my short-term memory is w@nk).  So how are you finding them?

Have you worn them down so that the outer blocks are closed from the radial groove?  And have you used them in earnest in the wet yet?
