Just wondered what standard tyres were coming on the 215/40 R17 wheels? Also what range of miles are people seeing on them?
I am very excited to collect my new GTI in mid march and wondered what to expect for those of you that have replaced a set what did you end up replacing them with and at what cost?
Anyone replaced them yet and if so what are you putting back on at what cost? I remember when I had an SLK I was told Toyos were a great replacement at a faction of the costs of the top brands. No sure that's true or not lol
had them on my 9n3 polo gti and were lovely but this one i wouldn't recommend them
6K!! Ouch. Seams low?
If they were Bridgestones, then 6k does seem low as Bridgestone performance tyres are quite a hard compound (so hard wearing) compared to, say, Continentals. The trade off is that Bridgestones are not as grippy as some of the other performance tyres
I purchased 4x landsail 215 40 R17's 87xl they have so much tread done 13k on them and they have loads left. Got a set for 140 quid and they are A rated for wet grip. Think B for fuel. Will deffo get another set and keep aside for replacements

We've replaced them with Toyo T1R a few months ago and so far they've been great.

Got S001's on mine too. Have done about 14k and I reckon could have another 4k in the fronts though will probably change them sooner. Rears seem like new.
Car seldom gets driven in a manner that the tyres are complaining and I rarely attempt quick starts as the tyres just don't grip well enough to bother, so not putting the sort of wear on them that Dink seems to have achieved.
