Tyres recommendation
« on: June 19, 2021, 07:23:36 am »
The original tyres on my low mileage 5 year old MK 6 are showing signs of cracking. Some debate with friends on whether to replace. I’m thinking better safe than sorry.

Any recommendations on what type to look for. I put the car reg into Blackcircles website and it came up with 2 different size options. Not sure which is best.

Do you know what size is fitted to the car?

What's your budget?

I've just had the Good Year Supersport F1s on mine (£105 each) fantastic tyres in 225/40x18

Probably an old page, as they do the 5s now.

Not sure, haven't had Pirellis on a car since the P600 and P6000 from the 1990s  :doh:
