Bridgestone Tyres

[Booth11]

I can only guess vw get  a good cheap deal and that's why they put them on. .?
They are pants.

No doubt.  Hoping that 'good' cheap deal comes to an end before my R turns up end of summer, but somehow I think not 

Had Bridgestones on a previous gti, never again!  Spoilt for last 3 years with conti 5p's so that's most likely what'll go on if the R if it comes with sh!te tyres.

When the press are testing and reviewing the golf, do you think the cars are shod with these bridgestones? because you never ever hear them saying the car is scrambling for grip... do vw supply them one with better tyres?

Not sure.  Favoured ones tend to be the Michelin's, Goodyear Eagles and Contiort 5p's.

Yes, because we happily roll over and accept the sh!t, that nobody else wants.

Autocar's Review R was shod with Prets and Bridgestone RE050 tyres. I think I mentioned this in one of my previous posts.

I didn't quite make it clear, but i was more interested in the GTI.

Charv94, off topic but have you figured a way forward with your 'early car'/insurance predicament yet?
