  • What tyres to run with 19" alloys

    Has anyone fitted 19" alloys to their Mk V GTI, and if so what tyres would you recommend? I'm thinking 235/35/19 but not sure if they rub? The wheels are 19 x 8.5 with an offset of ET52.

    The Goodyear Asymmetrics or the Bridgestone Adrenalins both top all the independent tests and both are a lot cheaper than the exotics like Michelins and Pirellis etc

          just finished reading the latest motor magazine where they completed their 2009 tyre test.

          Goodyear F1 Asymmetrics was the winner overall, and by a long shot in the wet

            Hey mate... wouldnt look much into the test results of the motor magazine. Their testing is pretty crap and plenty of inconsistencies with their test methods. Tell me how could a tyre be faster in the wet than the dry, not physically possible.

              i ve read quite a few overseas tests and they come out with the same conclusion that the Goodyear Asymmetrics are just freaks in the wet.

                Not 19 but Im running 235/40/18 Yoko S series on my 2008 R32, no rubbing.

                So cant see why 35's in 19 would be an issue unless you are Very low or have massive offset.

                  And what about the EVO magazine which spent days at a tyre test facility and tanked the F1 Assym best in every area and first overall and the CSC3 third overall.

                  The testing was performed on a Mark V GTI.

                  Unless there is a new tyre out that hasn't been reviewed yet the F1 Assym is the best all round tyre with the CSC3 close behind.
