Some cheap loser put brand new GT Champions on the front of my VR6 not long before i got it.  7mm of tread left!!  They are terrible.  Especially in the wet.  

I don't really want to replace brand new tyres, but i might just have too.

Had Eagle F1s on my gti, they were very good.

86mph now!  That's more like it, keep pushing for 90!!!


A VR6 isn't a way of life, it's just a car.

Got 205/50/15 Toyos on all 4 corners of my Mk3 GTI and they are by far the best so far. Previously had Conti, which lasted ages but crap in the wet and Dunlop SP Sport 2000
