These people are definitely not looking at Golf R's or anything in the VW catalog.

^ This. I got hosed by the dealer with this kind of crap and felt hugely stupid after I got home and read the invoice more closely. They sold me the tire warranty even after I explicitly told the sales guy that I'd be replacing the tires immediately with Conti ECS and selling the OEM's. Never again.
tire warranties, though obviously a dealer money maker or they would not sell them, can be great. your warranty might cover whatever tires you have, for the given period of time. that is what happened to me in 2006 when I felt I was tricked into a tire warranty. I fought like crazy for refund but was told “you bought yourself a tire warranty”. I soon swapped to more expensive tires and over the course of the warranty time period, the warranty covered those tires and I was paid out four times the cost of the warranty.
I know what you are saying.When I compared them when I bought my GTI I just couldn't see where the 10k difference was,not to knock the R drivers.All wheel drive and more HP and a few other bells and whistles.I would like to do a little modding like a downpipe etc.but the service department can be real dickheads when it comes to warranty.Financially speaking it’s a terrible idea. But if you have money to burn, then why not.
To me, R is not worth that much more than GTI, after all they’re all just Golfs underneath anyway.
