MK6 Wheel / Rim / Tyre Thread

[OYE]

probably because it's a slightly more aggressive stance & it allows them to give the appearance of a dished wheel.

17x7.5 ET45 is an OEM fitment on a lot of VW group vehicles AFAIK.

Ooh, that's why! Thanks brad.

Those brakes look amazing! Lamborghini BBK must've cost a fortune!

Cheers mate =P

They are actually Audi Rs6 390mm 6pots. They also use them on the Audi r8. Still not cheap.

any decent priced options for the stock Mk6 Golf R with 19" Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT 235/35ZR19 please?

Got 1 with a nail in the side wall
Done 40k on the stock tyres and they are still fine.

Got quoted $500+ for the above each :O

Try Tempe Tyres or Blairs.

It's probably worth your while to buy 2 tyres (say Michelin PSS or Goodyear F1A2) and put them on the back. Keep the loose good tyre in case something goes wrong with the remaining 2 Dunlops. You'd still be looking at $350 each but you'll have 2 tyres with 8mm tread rather than one side with 8mm & the other with 4mm

I recently fitted the same wheels to my CSG 3 door. Did you get them from Advance in Richmond?

Why does it look like they should be going the other way?

Are all four wheels identical or do two have the lobes going one way and two the other? Don't know why this occurred to me.

Matters not but interested in what the case is here. I'm assuming all four are the same therefore the left side turning opposite to the right.......

michelin pilot super sport,



tested GOOD for braking:



not so good if there was a tailgating small hatch with texting female driver or an overconfident tradie Hilux / Dmax / large SUV / misc ute with a driver who believed the car had a 8 pot brembo brakes kit and yoko ad08r.

Hi All,
My 2010 GTI which I have owned since 2012 looks like it needs a new set of tyres. The front ones are more desperate than the rear. The inside front is losing air too causing the dashboard warning to trip every two weeks. I'm not doing any long trips and have none planned so I've just been topping up the pressure and resetting the warning.
The tyres look to be standard and are Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT.
I live in Perth and would be grateful for suggestions on make and supplier. My needs are very basic city driving.

I fitted Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2's to my GTI, and couldn't recommend them more highly. They're a high performance tyre but also very quiet and compliant considering. They're right up there as the overall tyre to have right now, and can be had very cheaply (under $200 per tyre depending on size).
