Post by: apollo13 on December 31, 2010, 12:38:40 am: I posted in wanted too.

I got two vred ultrac sessantas not so long ago £85 each plus £10 postage.

eBay trade seller not private. They get good reviews and I'm happy enough with them.
Title: Re: GENUINE 18" MK5 Monza 2
Post by: Johnny_tro on December 31, 2010, 12:48:29 am: you have details?

Also - just reading reviews.........right I will be getting the Monza's within the next 24 hours, not had any before. But apparamtly you habe to be carefull with the rim edges......
is there a specific brand which has a better sidewall/edge to help with this? or should I just ignore this?
Title: Re: GENUINE 18" MK5 Monza 2
Post by: rich83 on December 31, 2010, 12:54:26 am: Avoid Falken 452.. they are a tight fit are leave the rim vulnerable!

Conti SC seem to 'hide' the rim well on my pescara!

Title: Re: GENUINE 18" MK5 Monza 2
Post by: Johnny_tro on January 05, 2011, 01:03:37 am: After looking at all these.....thanks for the advise. I had to go with some Conti Sports. Two reasons....

1) Seem a really good all rounder.......

2) Edge - they have have very good deep edge/wall (protection) for the Monza.......

Hopefully wont regret it.

I always reverse park into spaces as I can check the distance in the wing mirror, then leave the front wheel angled incase I misjudged it... that way the tyre hits the curb not the rim...

Conti rubber, good choice, I remember the slogan 'German Engineering where it matters most on a car' :grin:
