Hi all,
I'm a few hundred miles in to ownership of my 54 plate Highline 130 TDi - erm B5.5? I'm going to need to spend a few notes to sort her out to my liking. Probably first stop is the rubber. Currently it's got Pirelli P6000 up front and something horrible called Maxxis on the back. 205/60R15 all around. I'm guessing I should stick with that size and not drop down to 195/65?
I'm tempted with Falken ZE-912s as they're a reasonable price and I've run them with no issues before on BMWs, alas no FK452s available in that size. But I'd be interested to hear some other recommendations. Currently doing 30k/yr 25% B Roads 75% M/ways, so I need a best of both worlds really. Something that'll take care of not slipping me in to a ditch on the Bs and something quiet and competent on the Ms.
Thanks for your thoughts.
Cheers,
Rob
