Tyres

Hi Forum ! I'm considering a new set of tyres for the Cabby, as an "original" freak anyone know what were fitted as per factory ? Thanks in advance.

early 13 inch wheels was 155sr13 on my Golf
My Cabby had 155sr14, but I have taken them up to 185r14…

only £200 each, 155 HR 13 Tyres - Classic Michelin XAS FF

this is great tyre at a great price

Hmmm, two hundred squid. Even with a sense of humour and understanding  "Business built on dividends for shareholders …. That's almost outrageous. However the second option is "real world" and thanks for the heads up. Now another question would you bother going up to 165 ? ?

I've run Dunlop SP Response on mine for five years and I can't fault them to be honest, wet or dry.
Low road noise and long lasting if you look after them.

In fact I'm going to use them on my Mk6 TSI, DSG 7 speed, Tiptronic Estate which is pushing 180 Bhp (160 out the box).  

Should add that mine are 'Dunlop Blue Response' on 15" BBS rims.

No because you would need a 165/75/13, that's a weird size with a poor choice of tyres.  i would go to a 175 or 185 if i was using a wider alloy wheel and wanted more grip.

Had our Flipper from New May 1990 it was fitted with Continental.

Had our Clipper from New May 1990 it was fitted with Continental.

Oh fair enough, somehow I hadn't thought about them at all. Thanks for the "heads up !"

It would be a German manufacturer where possible. So yes Continental, highly likely. Pirelli P-Slots (made by Ronal) carried Pirelli P6's.
