ie...
whats the basic rule of thumb you guys use when looking for tires?
UK tyres and US tyres are two very different things, believe me, your roads are nothing like ours!
If your running stock rims, or at least stock size rims, then go for the size that VW recommend..
Go for quality recognized brands,
that is the best rule of thumb.. European manufactures, if you want a more OE look and feel to your car ie Pirelli, Dunlop, Continental, etc these are all good tyres on UK roads, but maybe dire on US roads, this is why you need local advice, rather than thousands of miles away advice.. maybe try asking the same question on VW Vortex, for a more local answer
