i need a set of 4 195/50/15 tyres for my mk2 golf gti, id like a set that lasts fairly well rather than ones that offer super duper grip
ive been looking on www.mytyres.co.uk
theres alot of tyres to choose from under £40, ive used goodyears before with no problems and have a set of gsd3's on my other golf, but i havent done enough miles to see how they wear
can anyone suggest a place that reviews tyres? or whats good or bad , id prefer to use known brands unless someone can persuade me otherwise

I'd maybe recommend Avon tyres? They're great on my PUG GTi. But each car behaves differently to the tyre. You might find something annoying about a make that is rated 'very highly' in a review - might be worth just scanning the VW forums/asking mates and even seeing what other MKIIs are wearing?
Else, call a number of palces and 'get advice' and go with your best judgement?

I used to run Avons on my old 309 GTi - pretty good in wet and dry and they lasted a fair while too.

National is doing a BOGOF offer both on Avon and Barum (Continental) tyres this month:

PS
Avons work out at £32 each for your 15in tyre size (plus valves and balancing) on the BOGOF offer - I use to pay from £33 to £37 each for 14in Sava budget tyres (which included valve and balancing) in the past at Hi-Q...:-)

Try Hankooks, Ford fit them as standard to the Mondeo apparently! (see other thread)

continentals.
wet or dry fantastic
really, try them
|
It's important to choose circular tyres, preferably with tread and of a size that fits your wheels.
Sorry!!!!

After my last. silly post, here's my serious suggestion. I've always fitted Michelin by choice. I Forget what they're called -MX energy or something! They last well and handle well - don't know how they compare to 'performance' tyres, but for everyday use they're fine and don't cost a fortune.
cheers SS
