I run 195, 55 x 16 on my stage 2 polo. 215bhp. Nokian gazalodi are fantastic.

I've got Pirellis for winter tyres. Think they're called SnowControl or something like that.

To be honest, whatever winter tyres you get, they're going to be about a million times better in the snow than summer ones, regardless of how well you can drive in snow. They're unbelievably good.

Pretty sure Monza's fit over big brakes but would need someone to confirm for sure :)

If your running 312mm on the front the standard 16" Monzas will fit as you need a 16" minimum but if your running 323mm then you will need 17" minimum! Hope this helps :P
