Winter Tyre size for a GTI
« on: September 19, 2011, 08:08:18 pm »
 :confused:

As I need two new tyres for my 18" Monzas, I was thinking of maybe getting 4 smaller wheels with winter tyres, and store my 18s in the garage over Winter.  I've got a few thousand miles/couple of months left.

My question is what tyres would I need for 17" wheels, or even 16" wheels?

Thanks in advance.  :happy2:
