Yes it was clickontyres. Emailed them last week and they said my order had missed the last shipment from Vredestein. Hence my order would have to shipped separately and should arrive with me this week. If it doesn't, I'm contemplating cancelling them and going elsewhere.

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

I kind of expected I'd have mine on by now but it's not even close to hitting the sort of temperatures these tyres need. Not a bad thing I suppose!

I put mine on this weekend, agree it's a tad early but I think they are harder wearing than they used to be.

I recall last year being caught out and putting them on in the dark, in the onset of a snowstorm!
Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.
Now have an S4 B8 Avant (stage 2)
