I'll be getting a 90 TSI but I'm not entirely sure about the specs of the tires that it comes with. I called Barloworld and the sales person couldn't tell me either.

Just stumbled on this which shows the VW approved tyres for your car. should be if use I reckon:

Thanks for this logger but I'm not entirely sure what they meant. Where did you get this information from mate?

The tires I got for my car are Khumo U31 SPT 225/40 R 18 92Y but the offset of my wheels is ET 45. Before I bought my wheels I check with the guys at VRM wheels and they told me this fitment should be perfect for my car ???

So it looks like they are not suitable for my car after all? (i'll be very piss off if they are not)

The offset of your wheels will depend on their width (in inches)

Anyone know what the two red lines on the 30 and 50 kph mark on the MkV is all about?

Important speed zones in the UK or Europe?

...and on a slightly related topic, what about the caption on the tacho?

"1/min"

1 what per minute? Rev, Elephant, Banana?

Why not "Rev/min"?

... it is correct at least for Germany, Austria & se-rounding countries.
