May '09 TDI — came with 16" Hankook Ventus Prime K105.

Was dubious when I first saw them (remembering Hankooks of old), however they're proving to be among the best road tyres I've used — possibly even the best (as an ex fleet operator and one-time competition driver, that's out of a lot of tyres down the years.)

Handling and wet/dry adhesion very good, ride good, look like they're going to wear well (barring accidents, I regularly get 80,000+ KM out of tyres on a road car — only time will tell here, of course.)

They are quite noisy on some surfaces, tho'.

June 09 , 16" Bridgestone Protenza

Got Pirelli P7 16" - they are really good, not much road sound...

I was just wondering what tyres your GTI came with and what, if anything you've put on it.


After asking my dealer I was told that it can be delivered with pretty much anything on it (reasonable quality obviously).

I'm just wondering what its likely to come shod with.

18" - Dunlop Sport Maxx
17" - Bridgestone Potenza

LOL. So the dealer was right - whatever they have lying at hand then.


Hope it doesn't come with 4 different brands!

Lol - yep!

VW use Continental, Bridgestone, Dunlop and Michelin. They also use Pirelli from time to time
There is no way to tell what you're going to get and you can't specify it either.
