Post by: Hendo on November 10, 2010, 05:32:54 pm
Hi

Just wanted to know What tyres did the ED30 come out the factory with?

What is a good tyre to relive the ones on my ED30 when I have to?

Cheers

Rich

It came with different tyres depending on the year of build. IIRC Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2 was one of them.

My Ed still have the originals on: Bridgestone Potenza RE050's

Dont like them tbh, too much road noise. There are plenty of threads discussing tyre options. Do a search :happy2:

Mine seen to have Michelin on the front and some brand I've never heard if on the back?

I'll need to find out the best tyre and get a full set for the summer.

That's unlikely, VW only use the big names for tyres.
