    If theres one thing you dont want to do cheaply its skip on the one thing that keeps you in contact with the road.

    Eagle F1
    Dunlop SP sport MAXX
    Michelin pilots
    Bridgestone Potenza/Adrenalin
    BFGoodrich G-Force (ive had these, they were cheapish and pretty decent)
    GTI. Leather.
    tint,Eibach pro-kit,Whiteline adjustable swaybars,Forge s/brace,BMC,Forge T.I.P & D.V, Cupra R, APR. EBC & 3''dump pipe

    There was a thread not so long ago with whole bunch of people suggesting different brands and makes. Basically everyone had thier own preferences, so it really comes down to price!
    Search for it in the wheel and suspension category mate


    i like volkswagens

    Depends on your needs and driving style, too.

    FWIW, I am very happy with the Adrenalins, having had Falken SR615s before that, and the Contis out of the box, Adrenalins best so far for standard high performance road use.

    I'm putting some Kumho KU-31's on tomorrow. Have heard good things about them. Will let you know how they go. Hopefully the sidewalls are a bit tougher than the contis.

    No-one seems to mention Yokohamas which have always been a good performance tyre. Do Yoko make anything suitable for the GTI?

    Yes, you can get Advans -- GT3 has them and reckons they're pretty good. I was less than impressed with them on another car, but that's not to say they don't suit the Pog.
