    Pffft. Wouldn't take anything else from them. Not good enough to come with the wrong tyres. They (VGA) agreed and were great to deal with throughout.

    Drive up in the hills for first time today.
    Tell ya what - WOW! So tight compared to mk6. If mk5 r32 understeer was 9/10, mk6R was 7/10, this mk7 is a 3/10 at worst. Sooooo different. Loved the Twisties. Great views too!

    What's the story - was there a fault with the Pirelli's?

    Awesome tyre, but VGA really took too long to resolve your complaint. I hope you have no more issues.
