RA's on a mk2 should have 185/55/15 tyres fitted if you are going OEM  :wink:

I was going to say that as that is what they came with originally, but in the handbook, it states sizes and pressures for both 185/55 and 195/50

185/55 is the correct size but people switch to 195/50 as easier and cheaper to find.

RAs are the one to go for!

They are standard, and look good, but also have the benefit of not being so expensive that you're scared of marking them - perfect for a chuck-around daily  :smiley:

Seeing a Mk2 GTI on a set of cheap after market alloys is annoying.

I agree. I love to see a nice mk2 on RA's but also love the RZ's as they were also a dealer option but just look that litle bit different and really suit the car. Both top wheels  :smiley:
