What tyres will my GTi come with ?
« on: 01 July 2012, 12:26 »
Hi

New Gti currently at the port in Germany awaiting shipment.

Is the car likely to have Bridgestones tyres or Dunplops ?

i think it depends on the particular shipment, my last 2 vw's came with continental (sucked BIG time) and pirelli (sucked even BIGGER time).  Now running on Michelin Pilot Sport III, splendit...

Going by what i've read on here i'd say the majority get Dunlops (myself included  :sick:) but a lot of guys got Bridgestones, i think it's just the luck of the draw tbh?! Even though both tyres are crap! :rolleyes:

I got Bridgestones when I got my car 3 years ago this month, still running them as the car has only done 15500 miles and 6 months are spent on Conintental Winters TS830p which are brilliant.
