I've never paid this much for tyres ever, But the super sports were the only tyre i wanted after reading so many favourable reviews on websites from numerous countries.
If you take away the delivery cost the price of the tyres would be £581

Please give us a thorough review in about 300-400 miles. I may well import these too. The downside is if you need a replacement eg puncture.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Will do.

It was only after i place the order i thought about punctures, and i thought that these tyres only took 5 days to get here from indianapolis and one of those days was bank holiday monday, So i would put the space saver on till new tyre arrived.

Yeah thats the one. The Xenons are like hens teeth. Not a bad motor for the price you can get them for.

Yes... I never managed to get on with it. Ended up having to hold fingers 2 3 and 4 up in the air.... not good for RSI.

Nice motor, mind me asking the damage?

£10k...with 21k on the clock.


09 plates seem to be a better buy but coming from a 10 plate I didn't want to have anything older...ongoing argument...!

Cheers, my budget will be what my GTI sells for, which will be around £7k mark, so a few off.
