OK, what 15 inch tyres have people tried?
[mmc] I run Yokohama A539s on my 206gti – they have better grip than the P6000s and also cost less. I run 195/50/15’s which costs less – have slightly smaller diameter than 185/55s [bb] I tried replacing my P6000s with 185-55/15 Michelin Pilot SX-GTs. Went back to P6000s because I prefer their firmer ride, more predictable handling and better wear characteristics. [sm] When the Pirelli P6000s wore out I replaced them with Falken ze512 195/55/15. My primary goal for the new tyre was decreased noise. I chose this size as I was looking to decrease the speedo error. A friend had his ’99 GTi tested on RACQ’s rolling road. The results with his 185/55/15 P6000 was a 6kph error for every 10kph increment from 40-100kph. I had my new Falkens tested by the RACQ and the increase in rolling diameter resulted in a 3kph error for every 10kph increment from 40-100kph. [sc] 1) I tried the P6000s for quite a while, and found that by rotating them every 5000km, they lasted quite well, but they are a very
