^^^What's the point in buying a 'sporty hot hatch' and not being able to hoon around in it occasionally because of your 'cool' tyres.  :stupid:

"hoonin around" I hope is kept to race tracks or similar circumstance,

Is it not the same thing as why buy a car and then stage 3 just to drive up and down to a few show's, or the occasional trip to the supermarket? but  never making it reach its potiential.

I still differ on the tought to the extremes that people think how dangerous they actually are, We drove up to Holland last year to MIVW, all 4 of the cars had strecthed tyres yet even on a pretty much contant drive of 300 miles we didnt have any bother.

IMHO They now where as dangerous as people make, Buy good tyres not cheap budget crap and dont go for an extreme stretch there really should be much drama

As for the thanks its a pleasure everyone is entitled to a say some may not like it but some may as for the waste of a car how? Its the look i wanted so went along with it and am happy with the way it looks my car doesnt get a thrashing every where it goes and is actually well looked after

So! because you think it looks good, you have convinced yourself it is the right thing to do.  :stupid: are you really that ignorant of your own safety and willing to risk the safety of other road users because you like how something looks.  :laugh:
Just because your not dead yet, doesn't mean your not going to die.  :smiley:
It doesn't matter what i say as it will obviously be a falling on deaf ears. Anyone who goes through and actually puts a 215 width tyre on a 9.5j wheel is well past taking in any advice.  :happy2:

Good luck.

As said before, there is nothing to say that its dangerous! That is your opinion. I believe it looks great and it is exactly the look I'll be going for. You cant drive on the streets like a tool in a 300bhp golf with your semi slick track cars on the road, that is dangerous and your more likely to kill someone driving too fast than someone is with stretch tyres crawling along struggling to get over the potholes.

On some tyres it tells you to which size rim to fit them to..The police can prosecute by not fitting the tyres in accordance to the manufacturers spec

How much?? Mk1 TT!! I'm sure they drive fine BUT to play around with the engine and get anything done is a nightmare! Saw a mk2 stage 3 TTRS today. Was mint, I was actually in love with it, looked so mean.

My stretch is going as I have major performance plans for this summer for the golf, so need some tyres that can take high speed and cornering at stupid speeds :p
