Pirelli vs APR tuned Gti

[golfmeup]

I think not putting Pirellis on it would be an injustice

That's what I thought, I know they're only types, but that's part of the whole package!

Oh just chuck on some Kumhos @ $165 per corner and be done with it.

I'd go the Pirelli over the GTI and then get Gavin to tune it.

I saw some stage 1 tune specs and was pretty blown away!! WRX eating power.

Just concerned how well the DSG can handle the power.- re flash?

Ah, good to know - are you Brisbane based Gavin?

I've heard good things about the Pirelli edition regarding better engine internal as well? A stronger engine is always a good thing!!

But is the engine the same as the Golf R or S3? Or just a improved Gti?

IIRC the S3 was the first to use this engine, followed by the Pirelli and then the R.

Yeah Northside, Narangba.

Don't be afraid to shop around. I picked up a set of 235/40/18 Pirelli P-Zeros for my Pirelli with nitrogen filled for under $1000 local at a Bob Jane T-Mart about four months ago

Yeah but 235's are way cheaper than 225's because they fit a commodore and 225's are the oem fitment.

I just dealt with the same conumdrum Pirelli' son the pirelli, it had to be done as i felt it just looked plain wrong, picked mine up from tyre power for $280. Definately shop around but nothing beats some good customer service!

And on Golf make the speedo more accurate.

The attraction of a Pirelli for me was where it was manufactured.....
Germany Vs the rest .....
Not a hard decision.
As for the tyres, don't think my Pirellis are particularly quiet and don't find them that great in the wet either. Losing traction in a straight line when overtaking in 3rd gear isn't that special.
