More low costs too - just ordered 2 new tyres for the front. When I bought a tyre for the Fabia it was £140-ish. The two cost me £55, and they are Uniroyals not Widowmakers  |
My Bmw's are cheap for tyres due to not being 17" stupidly low profiles!
good work on the 193 at the 2nd bar, and bonne chance in Killie..take care
Hopefully the snow will have cleared!

No quite,
still have
1x 320 i (130bhp)
1x 328i (193bhp)
and a half share in a 535i (211bhp)
so the golf is the only sensible car available- its also not a car I care about, so happy to modify it

If you don't have them yet or need to replace 'm , consider 185/60/15 - they're 4.6% bigger that the 195/50 - and you can get them as the Nokian eLine - first EU AA rated tyre on the market ... if you really want to go all the way

I've swapped on the 195/50/15 as it needed new tyres,and I had them lying about. they also have the same rolling radius as the original 185 fitted to the 14s, but with this "grip" thing
cheers for the heads up re the LRR Nokians, but TBH, with a sloppy FWD car, I'll stick to grippy tyres- personal preference!

Your goal should not be above 4L/100km ... (or better than 59 mpg US)
That's what they can get.
Unmodded, and not extremely hypermiled.

its an old AAZ lump, not a TDI PD, so Its not as frugal- I'm fairly ahppy with 2nd in the spritmonitor lists (
Overview: Volkswagen - Golf - Spritmonitor.de) jsut now, but aiming to get from 5L to 4 L
