[dammfool]

After 30,000ks of flogging the poor bastards its time for some new ones.Ive got 185/55/15s on now and im going to 195/50/15s.My mechanic said it shouldnt upset anything.He said 205s would be too big.I have 15 inch vw rimms.

Go Toyo T1R's...I had them on my last car, and they are very good.

i have Toyo Proxes T1R's with 17's on now and i don't like them at all. the compund i find is too hard and i struggle with traction (when i launch and in wet weather).

please no stupid comments like "how about easing off the accelerator".

I think its only annoying because the traction control is switched on. Spinning the wheels in 3rd while wet is fun. It's like driving an auto, the revs stay constant and the car slowly builds up speed.

Rhys... it's a totally different story on a TDI compared to a chipped GTI. I'm sure they'd be OK, better than alot of tyres anyway.

Michelin Preceda PP2s = awesome.

yeah true comment....sorry, should read more of the topic next time .

but yeah i have heard a few ppl saying the Preceda PP2's are really good, i think i will go them next.

oh, and 205's would be too big, your tyres would be a lot wider than your rims. a mate did it to his car by accident, looks pretty stupid.

I'm on my second set of PP2's, great tyre.

GTI wheels don't fit a TDI, different pattern.

im possibly upgrading to 17's so will be willing to part with my 16" stockies ...will first have to put my negotiation skills into overdrive as i only have 1200-1300 to play with in order for some rims and good rubber.

Ouch, my 17" tyres were 1200, without wheels.

Also, remember GTI don't fit on TDI.

yess well looks like i will just be buying good rubber....as i have to service my car aswell.. so the 17's will have to be put on the backburner...im kind of sad but oh well......wasnt so confident dealing with tempe aswell....so goin to stick with the stockies and put on some adrenalins....
