PaulV Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 Hi, just purchased a Lupo GTI and I can only find Toyo TR1s in 205/45 R15! Upping to 50 or 55 profile gives many more brands and price options and would be a bit more comfortable on the shitty road surfaces? Does anyone have experience or recommendations running on 205/50 or 205/55 profiles on the stock rims? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattymdm Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 I run 195/45 uniroyal rainsports on my GTi Id recommend anything over Toyos. Terrible tyre my gti had on when i bought it. Think 195/50 scrub on full lock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lupogtiboy Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 I've been running 195/45 15s on mine for years, pretty much since the first time I needed to change tyres, and never had any issues. Of all the brands I've used, I've been most happy with Uniroyal's, they offer excellent grip in the dry and more importantly, the wet, and seem to last well too. I'm currently on a set of Falkens, and whilst not as good as the Uniroyal's, they are a good alternative. I found that 50 profile tyres always rub on full lock, whether at standard height or lowered, as they are just too big for the arch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
