You don't own a Mk2, you support it.

Khumo are a budget brand but 40 a corner fitted is no bad

camskill prices are always bonkers but you have to factor in getting somewhere else to fit them - toyo t1r are about 30 quid each!!

I have a pair of these on the mk2 195/50R15 and they seem pretty good in the dry and have lasted a long time.
They are sh!te in the wet though

In my humble opinion I think the std size looks just right on the RA's 185/55's
To me the 195/50's look a bit fat on the rim.

Depends on your driving style and priorities but I go for Toyo T1R's every time. Great in the wet or dry and good value.
