Just put Vredesteins Sassanta's on my Jetta - had a variety of 18" tyres on inc Nankangs (last forever, but no grip!) Falkens (good when new & gradually get worse, then you get to the wear bars and they are amazing track tyres!) The Vredesteins are great. amazing grip in the wet, but quite noisy & you need to put a little more air in them than youre maybe use to!
I got them for £297.50 delivered by Camskill
