Think positive: a 225 tyre will be about £5 cheaper than a 235 per corner and will give you an extra 0.1mpg!!!
VW used 7.5 x 19 and 225 tyres on the mk6 GTI too. And 8 x 19 and 235's on the mk6 R.
Yet the R 19's are cheaper to spec and look to be of a higher quality of manufacture than a GTI/D upgrade to 19's….
