monza 18"

[Hurdy]

monza II's any day of the week for me, ed30's are nice but cannot match the style and drive by look of them.scuffing any alloy is a real bummer in any form so shouldnt be considered a negative when choosing.Shame the ed30 doesnt come as an option with them.

Or the Detroit/Rockinghams too

Do NOT get Goodyear F1s - there are better tyres (particularly when it rains), and with a bit of haggling, a similar price too.

Oh, and NEVER buy second-hand tyres, because you do not know their "history".

well what tyers do you reckon? bridgestone? also does anybody know how much the Pescaras are? might just wait till christmas and get the misses to get me them 

also on the standard gti, are the skirts, splitter and rear bumper able to be sprayed?

might just make myself a ED30

[Lagerlout]

I would go with Michelins or Continentals. Agree that F1's are pants in the wet and to me don't have the same dry grip either, always makes me wonder how they win these tests.

Anyway, Mich. PS2's are very good tyres. Have ContiSports Contact2's on my 911 at the moment and they are good but think the ride quality is better on the Michelins, also seem to last longer. Not cheap tho.

Rear bumper and front splitter are different on the ED30 to the std GTI. It is much easier to buy R32 side skirts and have them painted than try to paint the std GTI ones due to the slight patternation on the GTI skirts.

i thought they were the same??? they look the same, the skirts do anyways, just got a slight texture on, would probs need to be seriously primered and smoothed. what are the r32 skirts like?

Not Bridgestone either (bad reports on this forum).

I agree with Lagerlout, Michelins being the absolute best, and the Continental also very good, although the Contis are not quite as comfortable, particularly at low speeds, when compared to Michelin.

The standard GTI skirts etc can be sprayed.  But you MUST use a decent bodyshop, and they MUST use the specialist flexible primer.

Of the side skirts, the GTI, Ed30 and R32 all have an identical profile (shape), but the Ed30 and R32 have a smooth finish (and are supplied in grey primer) specifically for painting, whereas the standard GTI have a "grainy" textured finish (but can still be painted with the appropriate preparation).

The front an rear bumpers are different between all three, but again, the standard GTI bumpers can be professionally painted.
