Tires BRIDGESTONE or MRF
Don't like the Scorpion Tires which I just replaced with Bridgestone Alenza. Way better.
went back to the bridgestones (re71rs) which usually last me 8-10 days on track
I bought a set of alloys and Bridgestone blizzaks for £250 and drove round my neighbour who was stuck with his Audi A1 Quattro.
I’ve got a set of Bridgestone Turanza (215/45/17) what a fabulous tyre. I do 300km a week in all weathers and I’m really impressed with the feel especially in the wet. I’ve done 40,000km so far and they’re wearing really well.
I still have the stock wheels and the original Bridgestone Potenza tires. Not being a track junkie, the Bridgestones have served me well and, when they need replaced, I'll probably get them again just because they must have a sturdy, strong sidewall that helps protect the wheel.
I've been using Bridgestone TURANZA 6 ALL SEASON since they came out, they are heads and shoulders above CrossClimates in every area other than snow, they are also considerably cheaper not being Michelins.
I've been really happy with the Potenza RE980AS+ on my 2002 New Beetle Sport. The Tire Rack performance numbers are very good across the board.
Usually should have ideally clocked 40K. But MRF is like that. I changed mine only after 20K after side wall cut and moved to YOKOHAMA Geolander H/T.
I had them on a 2019 Sport. I got rid of them at about 25k. They hydroplaned dangerously.
I'm not a fan of the OEM Turanza tires either. I find them really noisy.
