Hello,

I'm looking to fit new tyres on my MK7-R. it's stock. I've heard Bridgestone is the best? Can anyone advise me on the best suited tyre for my specific car?

Can you guys suggest me some good quality soft tires for my Toyota Sedan? I currently have 20' size rim tire of Yokohama Db series (top of the line). But although its completely soundless but I am not liking it anymore, only the first 1000 miles were very smooth. I am looking to change it. However, my dad has VW sedan and has Michelin tires installed, very smooth but I don't feel the grip on the road as compared to my tires.

One thing I noticed in these tyres is, they are quite hard than the Yokohama, I feel little bumps on the road.

Some say you need to post in the correct section and others say you need to start your own topic...

Tabiso, that is quite common on the mk 5 tdi. Have you tried changing your tyre brand to something a little softer?

Will try to look into changing the brand. Thanks for the advise.

My apologies for writing where I should' have. It wasn't intentional.

17" RS3 wheels? I never knew they were even an option on an RS3? And they should be a PCD of 5x112, not 5x115. You'll have to get all the specs of the wheels such as ET, width, etc. to compare to your current setup, it is impossible to say whether they will work or not.

My Megane uses 235/35/19 tyres and I've had Bridgestone RE050A, Pirelli P-Zero and currently Michelin PS2s.

I can report that there isn't much difference in terms of grip, only really noticeable at the absolute limit.

The Pzeros however was the loser from the lot purely based on the following: the wear is ubsurd (compared to the other two) and the sidewalls are extremely soft and prone to bubbles.

Asking anyone who knows about cars and wheel alignment - at a reputable place I bring my car in for wheel alignment, they ask why I'm bringing it in. I say routine but the guy fishes and asks is it pulling to the side, I say, a tiny bit. says maybe I hit a pot hole, we all have hit pot holes. Then while I'm waiting this guy calls me over and says my wheel has moved back and if I take it to VW they will charge 18k but he will do it on the sly for 1k. I mustn't tell front office. I say let me speak to the finance department get back 2 mins later and it's done? I say I don't have money and take his number. Does everyone else also think this is a scam?
