Everyone keeps saying the 17s ride better and i thought this too when i tried two cars back in 2009 originally, but I've driven a 2011 GTI with 18" Bridgestone back to back over the same poor road route i know well with my 2010 with 17" with Bridgestones.  Both cars with standard suspension (not acc) and it actually shocked me the 18 seem to ride as well maybe better in some respects as  there's less tyre bounce occilation on some humps.  I think it may have more to do with suspension  and tyres.


Nice red GTI   :cool:

When I bought mine, I was prepared to walk away if I didn't like it in red but I fell in love with it straight away...spot on colour (has to be one of the best for the GTI).

Regards,

Mart
