Hi all,
I live in Devon where the very narrow old roads in towns are instant death to the low profile tires.. (and the expensive alloys!!), as was fitted standard on my 05 VW Polo GT pd 130. A truly great car in my opinion.
Sadly I have just had a serious accident, where I think the cars n/s front tire may have given up and the car was a write off.. as it instantly piled into drystone wall that lined the road rolling the car over.
Needless to say I'm not now entirely comfortable with the idea of buying another Polo 130,( which I would really like to do), if I HAVE to run low profile tires. VW Customer care say "they can't suggest an alternative, even from another type of Polo, as it would likely invalidate any warranty..
Any suggestions?? I need another car no wider than a Polo that drives as well as the 130. with 4 doors.:confused: ...with 'proper' tires and please, have pity don't say Skoda!:1zhelp:
