Tyre help on part worn assy 2's
« on: June 25, 2014, 06:46:51 pm »
I bought 2 assy 2's part worn but it looks as though the tread groves are Completly gone. They look bald but have decent tread depth... Is this how they go after a bit of use or are these shot?

Over inflation?

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

Yep, exactly the same as mine as they've done a fair few miles but nothing wrong with them.

Just a bit shiny looking. Maybe someone has wiped them over with a towel?

Anything from 30 to 36 for me, depends what you want the most, Grip or Economy?
