Itscrap Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Took the gti for a mot yesterday and it failed because both front tyre rub whilst on full lock, the car has coilover fitted so I have raised it as much as I can however they still rub! Currently has standard barthursts with 195/50/15 tyres, would dropping to 195/45/15 solve this or is there anything else I can try before buying new tyres?
