I wish he had.

Currently sitting in a motel room on the Gold Coast due to work commitments, far far from home.
Lunch of prawns oysters and crays was ok though.

Standard Tyres fitted to your MK6?

Hi guys,

I recently took delivery of a Golf 118TSi. It has the standard 16inch rims; but one thing I thought was interesting was that it has Hankook tyres fitted. I thought this was odd, I was expecting some Continental tyres, which I beleive were on the test car. I wondered if they did the old switch-a-roo.

Can you guys please tell me what tyres were standard fitted to your 16inch rims; prefereably on 118TSi models; or tell me what tyres I should have expected to be on the car?

Thanks!

Which model of Hancock tyre ? Mines still on a ship in the Indian ocean so I guess thats going to be another one of those little surprises.

I just took delivery of a TDI built last week of October. It has 16" Michelins.

They get good reviews.

My 2009 118TSI came with Michelins. I think the loaner Mk6 TDI (with sportspack) also has michelins and looks like a 2010 build (only 170km on the clock).

My 118TSI with 17" wheels (due to the Sport pack) came with Bridgestone Potenza RE050As.

They're great
