195/50x15 Tyres on standard Mk II Gti?

[Daz...]

I am running 195/50/15 Eagle F1's (Superb) on 40mm drop Eibach springs. No rubbing.
You will be fine.
 

40mm? Does it sit the same as mine?

Im not sure how low it is cos its on coilovers 

[GTI EDITION (aka LTD)]

From what I recall quite a few people changed from 185/55 15s to 195/50 15s on the mk2s because the they could get the 195 50 15s a lot cheaper than the 185/55s but I don't know if the 185/55s have come down in price.  
One thing though , I don't know whether it may affect your insurance as they wouldn't be the recommended tyre size that VW originally fitted .  
But they do look better  (though even at the correct pressures to me they seem a little under inflated )

Mines not quite that low.

Yokohama AVS for better all round performance if wishing to purchase Yokohama, the A539 a little harder wearing and therefore not as grippy, they do struggle a little in the wet but if you are running an Eibach rollbar on the back and front the car characteristics are again totally different.

A quick word of warning!

myTyres are taking 5-7 days to ship the Goodyear F1's from Germany to me.

This is fine as they are so cheap but not good as the car is now stuck in a garage for a week!

Those F1's sound the business.

Where did you get them from in Germany, were the much cheaper?

I believe reserves meant that mytyres.co.uk get their stock of F1s in from Germany and it's taking 7 days.

I've got 195/45/15 at the moment on my new Ronals, I may jump up to 50s as they are so much cheaper
