[T3] Tires

[Maximilian Bukszpan]

Hallo again,
I would say that I would be very much afraid of riding wide tires like 205/15 in winter!!The rule always was: the thinner, the better, summer or winter!!Also for gas consumption!!
165/15 is a real big size already, 175/15 is max. this is for rear tires!! front , I would go with max. 145/15 to 155/15!!! much better steering response in ALL situations!!!
This is just my opinion after driving Volkswagens for over 30 years in all conditions!!
Best regards, hope it was helpful
