As all the comments have already said these tires are absolutely shocking I bought a car with them already on, I thought the car had wheel baring issues and and alignment problems with the vibrating and whining, then the rain came and just about crashed the car as they were that bad so came on hear read the reviews and straight away got new tires all noises have gone and as it was still raining went the same road at the same speed and handled as it should have done. So if anyone reads this before makes the mistake at buying these tires DON'T DO IT!!!!!

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Volkswagen Golf Make VI GT 160 HP drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
after 15000 miles... it still performs great. It grips dry and wet. Braking..? On par with CSC2.
My fault, i ignored about alignment...As result, front tires are used up now. time to change. But rear tires, only 20% worn.
THE only complain.. soft side wall which makes car wobble during negociate hard and uneven cornering road. Solution: put more tire pressure..but a bit bouncy ride is expected.

Got these in November expecting harsh winter conditions and found them to be very good on wet roads and snow on the Highlands. They corner well, even at speed, and do not loose grip. However, you can definitely feel the need to slow down in warmer dry days as the rubber is very soft and slips easily under happy acceleration. After 4,000 miles, the front tires have 6mm and rear have 8 mm, basically new.
