The tyres I listed (plus Stuwey's RE55s) are all street legal but you wouldn't want to run them anytime you weren't driving flat out. There are semi slicks that aren't street legal at all like the Kumho V710 and Hankook V214 (which I'm seriously considering) but they look like slicks with a groove or 2Originally posted by sambb View Postoh yeah absolutely!

The first time I drove with the A048's, I looked around for the 4WD with mud tyres that was able to run me downOriginally posted by Stuwey View PostRE55s will give you road noise like i've never heard

I've got a set of Kumho V70a's to go on for track days. The RE55s and R888 are shagged, will run em once more before swapping tyres. The track cars daily tyres are federal 595 (not the rs's), they are meh, just something to get you around. They are a hard tyre and don't handle heat well.
On my daily, I've got Bridgestone 002's. Done ~20,000kms and would be half worn, if that. Pretty much all highway and very little to put a smile on my face. But yeah a nice tyre. I ran the Kumho ku31's prior as they were cheap at the time. Bridgestones are better, though I don't use them to there capability any more.Track Car: 06 Polo GTI Red Devil mkII
Daily: 2010 VW Jetta Highline
Gone but not forgotten: 08 Polo GTI

Mate I would keep with the toyo's I was running those on my polo when I had one and they where awesome esp at that price.Originally posted by Barnz View PostSo after having my car for about 1.8 years its time for 2 new tyres & im just wondering what you all are running?
Ive have some toyo proxes 4s on my tx3 & im leaning towards getting 2 for the polo.Originally posted by seangtiThe price of the car rarely indicates driver ability/lap time.
