VW are just getting worse. Bridgestones are bad enough, but paying £32k out for a car fitted with £80 tyres is just scandalous, especially on the assumption that a sizeable portion of the cost of the Prets is on the price difference between 19" rubber and 18" rubber. I've no idea how good or bad they are, but putting budget tyres on a 300ps expensive hatchback is a piss take. I'm sure Audi wouldn't dare put these on a new S3.
I thought that too at first but I think DC is saying that as the car was a used purchase the dealership put new tyres on and went for a cheaper option than OEM branded rubber. Shame they didn't go for Rainsports or something which would've been a similar price.
