Snoopy, quick question, what tyres come with 17" Monza's 225/45/91Y ?

225/45/17s for sure.

Mine came with Bridgestone Potenza RE050 225/45R17 91W
But others have come with Dunlop SPsport or continental sport contact both in 225/45R17 91W

Thanks, the car with 18"'s I looked at had 225/40/92Y Extra Load (i.e. pretty costly)

Buy a Seat then

Best advice.
Now go and buy the car David ASAP before you change your mind and end up with a Skoda!

Buy a Seat then

That makes no sence.

Nothing wrong with SEAT or Skoda imo.

Man who specced 17''ers:

My, my! Major problems with the steering wheel.
Brilliant!

I got the 18" Monza Shadows as they were thrown in for free! .... Thank God!

I paid extra for Monza Shadows, then removed them as soon as I got back to my driveway. Hmm...probably not the wisest use of money.

I see no reason why a Golf needs Extra Load tyres...it makes no sense.
It's not that heavy.
