You can get all the way down to 16s on the GTI S, but everything above that requires the 17s minimum. But there's really no reason for 16s unless they are winters, or for some other specific use. I'll be running 215/55R16s on basic steelies for my trip to the Arctic this summer, just to get as...

Thanks for all of the information! Based on responses, I am leaning toward getting 4 Firestone Weathergrip tires on 16 steelies (215/55R16). This will give me 34% more sidewall than what I currently have, and the tires will be decent to just throw on for upcoming winters, as well. They are a...

I had my driver side mirror taken off by a school bus while parked a couple months back. Everything was broken. Thankfully I didn't need to deal with insurance since they left a note, but I found buying the few required parts directly from the dealer, then performing the work myself, was...

Thank you! I'm getting some water ingress on the right side of the hatch about once out of every 8 times it rains, drains out thru one of the access panels when the hatch is opened. I'll check the tail light, and I am curious what you discover as well.
