    H Rated for an 8v. Not sure about a 16v.

    Picked up a set of dunlops on Audi Alloys for the 80 TDI, 160 all in.

    It's about 6.C up here and we've had a lot of hail for the past 24 hours and wind chill is makes it feel icy, looks like I'll get use out of my winter tyres after all :thumbup:
