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.

Nice choice - Visions look great, and the black/polished thing will look noice on the J-Car

I'm on new RE-001's and am a big fan, loads of grip, quiet, and well priced. I also went up to the 235 wide, and it's put the woefully slow reading VW speedo almost back to exact. I'm "about" right, still slightly under. Looks nice and fat too with a bit of poke in the sidewalls.2014 Skoda Yeti TDI Outdoor 4x4 | Audi Q3 CFGC repower | Darkside tune and Race Cams | Darkside dump pDPF | Wagner Comp IC | Snow Water Meth | Bilstein B6 H&R springs | Rays Homura 2x7 18 x 8" 255 Potenza Sports | Golf R subframe | Superpro sways and bushings | 034 engine mounts | MK6 GTI brakes |Comment

I run the Bridgestone RE001s and am very happy with them inb the dry. Not as much in the wet.
My dad's black J-dawg 2.0T has 18 inch VW Charleston wheels. They look purty good:

I'd recommend you consider the Goodyear F1 Asymmetrics, specially if you enjoy driving in the wet.
i've also heard that the new Pirelli PZero's are even better in the wet, but havent seen any tests yet2007 Audi RS4 with: APR ECU Upgrade; JHM Quick Shifter; Milltek Catback and Downpipes; KW V3 Coilovers; Argon Creative Carbon Fibre SplittersComment

I have been running 235/40/18 RE-001's for the past 12k klms on a MK V chassis, have also had two track days on them, they are still performing very well. No noticeably change in fuel economy over the 225/17's either.Originally posted by zach View PostHers: 2012 MY12.5 VW Jetta 147TSI Comfortline, Tornado Red, stock !
