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,

    I run 40 psi in my R36 to shut the tyre pressure warning system up and my toyos wear evenly and slowly, even though their wet performance is pretty terrible, I'll be looking at Michelin Sport 4s when the car needs new boots as they seem to be the recommended price/performance/wear compromise for the R36.

    Cheers,

    Chris

        Tyres are a big talking item......well they are very important and you can only ask for
        opinions and then do what you think is right that also suits your ride.

              I have continental contisport on my new All Track with only 5000 KMs. I have noticed some wear already which surprised me. If they only last 15000 kms I will be pretty annoyed. They seem to have a pretty bad reputation for wear on review sites.

                  Tyres needs to be changed when the manufacture date is more than 10yrs on the tyre (not the car)...
                  I wonder if you can stretch it out Hillbilly...
                  What do you need to know about the age of your tires?
