« on: November 10, 2010, 05:32:54 pm »
Hi

Just wanted to know What tyres did the ED30 come out the factory with?

What is a good tyre to relive the ones on my ED30 when I have to?

Cheers

It came with different tyres depending on the year of build. IIRC Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2 was one of them.

My Ed still have the originals on: Bridgestone Potenza RE050's

Dont like them tbh, too much road noise. There are plenty of threads discussing tyre options. Do a search :happy2:

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

Mine seen to have Michelin on the front and some brand I've never heard if on the back?

I'll need to find out the best tyre and get a full set for the summer.

That's unlikely, VW only use the big names for tyres.
