Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Interesting article but they they tested road tyres for track use.

    Motor sport tyres are very different to street tyres.

      Exactly right, Pete.

      Motorsport tyres have a completely different construction and are not designed for a compromise between road noise/comfort AND handling. A taller motorsport tyre will be designed with a stiffer sidewall etc to combat the fact that they are taller.

      An interesting article, but road tyres are road tyres. Unless you just want to have a bit of fun, that's all they are.
