HOLY CRAP!

I love these tires. I have never had traction like I do with these tires in the wet. totally unbelieveable. I always had ok traction before the turbo but after the turbo the car just became a nightmare to drive in the rain. god forbid I got on the gas even half throttle before. now if it would only stop raining I'm going to test them in the dry.

I would definatly recommend these tires to anyone who wants a good tire for the MKII. they arent' very expensive and well worth the money. Here in florida it rains pretty much every day here in florida in the summer time. and wet weather traction is one of my main concerns.

These tires are great!

that's fine...I can deal with less treadwear if I get more traction...hell I was actually considering R compound toyo's for the street. just wayyyy too much money.
