My new MK6 GTI Wheels ;0)

Just a word of advice (to take or to leave), Nathan The Green Rim King:
It's best not to apply any tyre dressing on any part of the tread at all - Even the shoulder. Stop it on the top edge of the flat wall which carries the graphics. Reason is that if you are cornering very hard, you want grip/adhesion to work on the shoulders and tyre dressing works against you achieving this.

Greeners:
^^^ sound advice Robin :happy2:
Not a problem for me as I never corner hard :scared: :wink:

I noticed this the first time I used tyre dressing and didn't apply it carefully enough (well actually too much) so ended up getting it on a little bit of the tread. When I went out later that day, car was having difficulty swinging round a roundabout at speed where the previous weeks, it was handling fine.
