Good luck with ATS if they are fitting... Make sure that you take photos of your alloys before you start with them...

I was worried some 17 yr old kid would be fitting them and did take photos. Turned out the garage was staffed by older guys and turned out fine.
I guess every garage is different. There might even be a kwikfit garage out there with a skillful and knowledgable mechanic!

Evo October 2019?? Are you sure. No way pirelli are the best tyres for a golf GTi.
Is correct, I have the magazine. Interesting that Goodyear Asymmetric 5's are way down the pecking order

They must've improved the Pirellis since mine as I've found the Michelins to be much better.

They haven't lol. Michelin still better from all those that I know that enjoy spirited driving.

I ended up getting a puncture repaired at Kwik Fit. It was a bit of a leap of faith, but to be fair to them I needn't have worried. Wheel handed back in same condition I gave it to them in. Dirty but no scratches.  :shocked:
