Mine came with Eagle F1s and I'm fine with that.  I am amused that in some cases changing like the stock map, the stock intake, the stock brakes and the stock suspension is all fair game but changing the stock tyres is over the line :-)

Just wondered becasue I'm note sure I could cope with putting anything other than Pirellis on a Pirelli special edition car, I am a bit OCD tho at times!!!!!!

Also didnt the Gti come with a different brand (contis?) as std from the factory? so why did they do a Pirelli edition? was it simply a throw back to the one they did on the mk1?

Got to love the OCD attention to detail there!  :notworthy:

If you had a normal GTI of an Eddy would you even consider Pirelli tyres?
