Correct - mine are the Pilot Sport 4 - the 4S would have been complete overkill for a diesel Golf GTD :D Was quite surprised that the lease company fitted these when I asked for replacement tyres. Looking forward to trying them out (replaced Conti Sport Contact 2) They seem to get very good...

Getting new tyres fitted on the A6 today spurred me into putting the summer wheels back on the GTD Hubs painted and 4 brand new Michelin Pilot Sport 4 ready to roll with the red Clubsport centre caps fitted

Was it aligned afterwards and did it need any special alignment for the adaptive cruise control?

Winter 17s on, summer 18s off... Midway through: All done:

Prepared a full set of OEM 'Dijon' 17" with winter tyres to go on the car tomorrow - sealed the wheels with Gyeon Q2 Rim quartz coating, so will be good to see how easy they are to keep clean in the next few months Wheel design is unremarkable in 17" sensible size for winter use, but would look...

Longest day of the year, summer not even started, and through a chance conversation yesterday, have been offered a set of winter wheels & tyres for a good price :) Someone tidying out their house in prep for a house sale and I guess at this time of year he just wants shot of them rather than...
