Theyre made in the same factory so basically the same. Apparently fk is more bouncy and you can go lower however how can you argue with 2 years warranty?  :wink:

2 year warranty is good but it's a risk if they don't offer a decent ride quality imo

Joms are really good for money imo
I use them on my Bora same platform as the Mk4 but bigger.
I have no issues with them what so ever, they are very comfy even over the bumpy hills of South Wales and handle well.

My advice would be buy them and look after them keep them clean they will last. If they dont you have 2 years warranty to play with.

Helll no. Me my misses and the baby are fine and we have travelled a fair few places including our own area which is ridculous with pot holes etc.
Trust me youl be fine and happy with them.

It only starts getting rough when your running 18" or 19"s and less than 35profile tyres then your back is hurting.
If you stay 40 profile upwards you have no problem in my opinion.
