I've got a set of standard 'bottle top' alloys on my '88 16v. They're 14inch rims. Tyres 185- something-14. Currently running 4 pirelli P600s. Don't really compare well to the 225/45 17 Goodyear Eagle F1s i've got on the mk4... What tyres are people using on OEM rims on a mk2 GTI??
I used to run Goodyear Eagle F1s on my steel wheels (185/60/14) before my alloys. I now still use F1s. You can't go wrong with F1s whatever wheel size, an awesome tyre. Cheers
