    Smile Slightly oversize tyres Caddy

    Just got some Bridgestone ecopia EP100 fitted to my Mk5 Caddy. Size 205/65 R15 99H on 6J original Mk 5 Golf Mags. Original tyres were 195/65 R15 and as speedo was a bit optimistic(4kmh high at 60kph) it should be a bit more in line now and lower revs.

    First impressions are quiet but going from min tread to full tread usually is, low speed handling seems a bit better. Time will tell. ($119 ea)

    65000kms on Original OEM Firestones made in Poland
    32000kms on Supercats, not as good a grip as OEM,s and spins easier in the wet. Not a great tyre for FWD but cheap.

    I put 235/45/17 on my octavia last year instead of 225/45/17 which actually work much better I am finding - more grip, comfort and quieter aswell.

    Also they are cheaper
