Is it a new vehicle or second hand? I doubt VW would equip a premium brand of tyre from factory since they usually prefer Bridgestone's or Conti's because they are cheaper. Could you also confirm if its 225 or 215, 17 or 18 inch rims?

I am writing from Italy, I bought the polo new and it is fitted with Pilot Sport 5 wheels on 17 rims, shoulder width 45, tread width 215 and the physical controls are no longer touch-sensitive

Travel fast to be a polo. I come from a Peugeut 208 130hp and the difference is notable. I can't imagine how risky it is to drive even more powerful cars

In my first 2 years of ownership I racked up so many speeding fines, now I drive like an old man and only use the power for overtaking :)
