Golf VR6 tyre advise for standard 15" BBS rims

**greens_tuf** · 30-01-2009, 02:21 PM

Hey guys,

Sorry to bring this thread back from the dead, but I am going to be getting new tyres soon and I called a place I can tell you the name if required, and they quoted me $269

per tyre for the Michelin Pilot Preceda PP2

lol

wtf

I know these are high end tyres, but they're 15".... man they had had 235's in their catalogue for sale for $229 or something like that.

What kind of prices should I be expecting for a decent tyre?

I paid $170 a tire for Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE001's from AAA tires in Fairfield.

wow... i paid $104/tyre fitted and balanced at jax for 195/50/15 bridgestone adrenalins...

yeah coz I had read guys were getting their tyres for 15's really cheap... I spoke to jax too...

anyway I would like to get the adrenalins but I want 205's not 195's.

I'll call a couple of places tomorrow about these tyres... I'll let you guys know

A good price IMO, but not the same tire. Firstly its a 195 vs a 205 and there a quite a few adrenalin variants...

i know i know but that's quite a large price disparity. they're exactly the same, re001 potenza etc. for an uncommon tyre size i think $65 per tyre for a 10mm wider tyre section is ridiculous.

lol. 195 tyres will make you accelerate faster.

the bridgestones are quite good.

Just thought i wouls shed some light on this tyre issue.
I have a MK3 VR6 Again, YAY. I'm running TOYO PROXIES T1R's.

And i have to admit, there extremely quiet even at high speeds. The are super sticky, and thus far appear to have excellent wear on them for the mileage.

I will highly recommend these to any person wanting to put new tyres on there VR6.
