Best 18" tires for GTI MKVI?
« on: 13 June 2012, 13:54 »
I've heard excellent reviews on the P zeros, but way too expensive.  I've been using the Michelin Pilot Sport 3 for ages now both on my GTI as well as on my previous 170PS GT (MKV).  Have been extremely disappointed on the ContiSport as well as on the Pirelli something [can't recall the type, it shows you how good they were].  Basically the ones both my cars had on when i bought them were total crap.

Anyone with any good tips?

Ta
GTI MKVI, 5dr DSG, Candy White, Bi-Xenon, ACC, 18" Monza shadow, RCD510 w/Dynaudio, Sunroof, w/2 baby seats... and she's a beauty.

Hankook Ventus V12 Evo's.

Seriously, these tyres should not be dismissed due to their brand name. No more Michelin PS3's for me.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.
