What tyres for stage 1 Mk5

(1/1)

moughtonmark:
Hi newbie from NZ here, I have 215/45/17 tyres tyre shop is telling me I should have 225 on the car. I need to change 2 tyres is best to change all 4, running stage 1 bluefin.

Paradox1:
check out yokohamma prada 2.

Once they warmed up you get stupid amounts of grip. they are soft compound but I love em

Shoduchi:
I'm using Continental Sport Contact 5 225/40/18 and I don't feel lack of grip with 330 CV on the front axle on the road. I went on track with them and the tyres melted a bit, so not the best for that use. :laugh:

You should get 225/45/17 tyres unless you're too low and need a bit of tyre stretch to avoid rubbing on the wheel arches.

moughtonmark:
Thanks for your replies. Will go 225, does not rain much fortunately so will look at conti's
