Alex what size tyres do you run on the 16? I'm debating going for 195/45/16s next as they are quite a bit cheaper

195/40/16s Joe
45s will scrub if you are lowered sadly as the profile is a smidge too big for the polo

I have 195/45x16, but am at standard height. Main reason was because I wanted a little rim protection as it was getting expensive to get them outside lips refurbed!

Yeah at standard height it's no problem. Just throws the speedo a little

Still got the Tiguan
Just sold the Polo GTI to dad (so he now has two!) and bought a 1991 Mk2 Golf GTI
Was time for a classic again.

I wouldnt say a Mk2 GTI is old and sensible
It might be old, but its almost as quick as the Polo GTI
How many miles has yours got now jimmy?

I am most definitely getting old and sensible!
Can't even find time to wash the car at the moment, let alone tweak it!
James do you still have the Porsche tucked away?
