Recommend me some tyres
VC:
I sit at the Michellin Pilot Sport II table, brilliant in the wet and dry, although I'm currently running Toyo T1r's....supposed to be as good, in the dry they are superb but in the wet you have to pay attention in the corners :laugh:

For 17's i'd go for the Goodyear ASy's , awesome tyre and will improve the feel/handling of your GTI.

From what I've read I'm quite tempted by the Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas. Anyone run them?
Interesting that Evo reckon the Golf has sharper turn-in bite and is faster on 17s. I did consider sticking some 18" wheels on for a while.

Hurdy is riding on these and he rates them. :wink:

I had GSD3s on my old 300lb/ft Ibiza and they were the best gripping tyres it ever had...and it went through a few different sets!
My GTI has new Dunlops all round thanks to the dealer, when they're worn away I'll get Goodyears on my 17s without any hesitation. You get what you pay for.
I'll agree with evo's view of bigger wheeled cars having less bite and acceleration, I've seen it on a few different cars when changing to bigger wheels. The only way to counteract it is to fit lighter wheels.
