New tyres

Still don't get this statement that Bridgestones are dangerous in the wet. Surely you drive to the road conditions in front of you and can't drive the same way in dry and wet conditions.

Good point.

That is the whole point of a great tyre, you can drive to within 90% of dry conditions in the wet. The Bridgetones are actually not too bad now that the weather is hot except for the noise but in anything but hot dry conditions they shouldn't be on a car.

I tried my Lugano alloys with Cup 2's on them and I tried braking hard from 60mph and the abs didn't even cut in and on the same road that day the same speed the abs was cutting in and the car took about 20ft longer to stop. The car was much quieter and the feel of the car was vastly better but part of that could have been down to the 235/35/19 tyre size.

Ahem, photo required immediately!

I tried them the day I sold them and I didn't get a photo but I only sold 4 of them so I will put the the other on and get a photo. The stance was nice but as much as I loved them on the CC I didn't really dig them on the GTD

I think thats going slightly over the top
I don't find them noisy at all either. It's not to say that I wouldn't mind changing them though

Ahh, a shame you didn't get a shot of them fitted. Scirocco alloys are the perfect fit for a mk7 Golf and I'd often wondered what a set of Luganos would look like on one, that extra bit of offset makes such a difference to how the wheels sit in the arch.
I ran a set of VW 'Motorsport' OEM Scirocco Cup alloys on my R and was always happy with the way they sat in the arches.

They looked the perfect stance, I'll try and get a photo for you before the car goes to the Detailer on Wednesday.

Always worth checking Camskill. Often much cheaper and then get them fitted at your local tyre fitter for around £15 a tyre.

My car is in with VW for its 1st service tomorrow and I thought I'd killl 2 birds with 1 stone and see about getting them to fit me 2 new front tyres while they had the car, told them I could get Conti SC6 for £97 from National tyres and Michelin PS4 for £104, they came back with £125 for the Contis and £145 for the Michelin, they wouldn't price match 

Just hope I can get the car back early enough tomorrow to get the tyres done in the evening as I have just ordered the Contis

Make sure you get the fitter at National Tyres to agree the condition of your diamond cut alloys before they fit the new tyres. Very easy for diamond cut wheels to be damaged through the actions of careless tyre fitters!
