MK6 Wheel / Rim / Tyre Thread

[MIRSAD]

interesting experience there mirsad, what brought on the change from 17's to 18's looks like you stuck with stock alloys ?

sounds like your reasonably happy with your bridgestones. looks the michelin primacy are probably ok too, perhaps I'm being too picky and some of it could be surface related too. Just thinking probably could do better than them thats all I guess

Change from 17" to 18" was part of the deal with VW dealer.

As I pointed for me Bridgestone is OK (driving in Perth mainly 50 - 80 Km ... 100+ on the weekend ... not much) but my preferences are (when time come)

Continental Sport Contact 3
Michelin Pilot Sport 3 PS3
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric

Mine is coming with the Dunlop SP's on 18"

based on the reviews I'm reading, they're so so....but then again, I don't drive like a complete maniac...at least I don't plan to, but I know I will!!!!

Picked up my 118TSI (without the sports pack) today in WA. Tyres are Continental Sportcontact2... whatever that means.

What does eveyone think about the ride quality on different brands of the 16s on the TSIs ?

Which is the best rider ?

My car came with the Bridgestones - sigh. Noisy as anything at 100kph. Was hoping for Conti 3's.

Can't wait for them to die so I can put Pirelli P7's that quitened down the Mazda SP23 so magnificently.

I got Bridgestone Potenzas with mine...love em so far

I had the Re050 on mine and though they performed very well, got noisy as hell after 22,000km. I persevered for a while as there was plenty of thread left but at 29000km, gave up and switched to PS3. Day and night.

Mine came with Bridgestone Potenza RE050 (118 TSI sport pack). I've also got the same set (although larger size) on my other car, however those are RFTs... The difference is light and day between the same tyre (non RFT and RFT).

Plenty of grip in the dry, but when pushed they dont wear very well.

Golf 103TDI + Sports Pack

Dunlop SP Sport 01A

MY10 mk6 GTi

Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT

Wish they had more dry weather grip when merging into traffic from a standing start .You don't have to push them hard to loose traction .

Cheers
