You rang :laugh:
I have this exact setup, 18" TD pro race 1.2s and the 595s aka the Taiwanese track tyres of win :smiley:
Weight loss compared to the OE wheels is definitely noticeable
The weight loss is felt in a couple of ways I find, both lighter quicker steering feel and slighter better ride control over bumps etc from the front end
Yeah I'd say definitely worth the money even for the limited use I get from them
Great wheels that look ace on the mk5/6 and the tyres are a revelation grip wise when compared to 'sporty' road rubber, wear rates are reasonable too :smiley:

Haha, lovely mate exactly what I was looking for cheers :happy2:
Beddie:
^^ No probs mate :happy2:
Like any R rubber just be mindful of standing water, the 595s are very impressive in damp conditions I've found but things can get a bit emotional if you hit standing water at speed :grin:

Haha I bet they can, I'll use the Goodyear's most of the time but fancy something super sticky for 1/4 mile and the 2 weeks of summer :laugh:

The 595 are good for the money and so are the nankangs but the 888 was in another league for me easily ome of the best thing i done i consider the 595 and and nankang as a summer tyre more then a trackday allthough there good enough for most as an all rounder

Yeh I would love a set of 888's but they're a bit out of my budget tbh, they'll probably just end up being used for summer and a trip or two to Santapod. If I had 500+ ponies to put down then I'd definitely need the 888's :driver:, do any other Tyres even work on yours?
