I personally have Continental ContiSportContact 5P but they're $380ea :eek:
I've had 2 set's of the Bridgestone S001, been very happy with them on my GTi . The last set cost $800 plus fitting .
cheers
Thanks mate. I'll get in touch with you in a couple weeks for a set.Quote:

The BIG difference is when you are doing 100, its raining, and something unexpected happens that requires you to avoid a collision, then that extra thousand bucks suddenly looks very, very cheap.
Hey guys,
Can anyone tell me if the VWR 600 intake is available locally or does it have to be purchased from the US/UK? Shipping was the same price as the intake itself and Im not sure I can stomach that right now.

All text in bold doesn't add up. If you don't do anything crazy and it's all mainly freeway driving, how on earth have you killed tyres after 17,000kms.Quote:

Had my car in for its 15,000 service a couple weeks back and they mentioned that after rotation, the front wheels had 2mm and back had 4 at the indicators. New tires have 8mm.Quote:

Brief look into the Potenza RE050As shows ranges between 80,000 and 25,000kms. I assume 80,000 are more careful and gentle drivers and cars relating to their personality, and 25,000 from more high powered cars.
I'm no expert, i'm the first to admit, hence why i'm here to learn from more experienced Golf R owners.
I agree, and it was tempting to have el cheapo tires on my car saving several hundred dollars, but i was hoping that someone had knowledge and facts about them (there isn't much data about them), hoping for a surprise. Someone who actually had a set, not just what they think and assume.
Appologies for any drama i've caused.
