Tyres

My Yeti has a can of mousse, at just over 3k miles I ran over a key, which dug in the tread and comprehensively fubarred the tyre. I needed full lift recovery as it was midnight Sat/Sun. I hope the numbnuts who lost his door key had his missus slap his head silly and she made him sleep outside in the rain.

Bring on the mousse

Of course, it's a Yeti, it's hairy, I also use Autoglym shampoo and conditioner on it.

I just bought 4 of these for my Mk2.

Theyy are the tyres it left the factory shod with. 

Now re-manufactured.

 

I would be very interested in your thoughts on the re-manufactured CN36s? They apparently use modern compounds so better than the originals but not sure where in their compound range that actually puts them? Are they a long wearing road tyre or a very sporting "R" type compound for the odd track day as well? They certainly look great.

The factory fitted tyres on a MK1 Sport were 165 x 13 with no profile.

The closest wheel diameter now is a 165 80 13 or a 185 70 13.

I guess if you guys are replacing engines, boxes and diffs. then any tyre will suit!

175/70/13 were also available as an option and it was invariably these that were fitted to any car equipped with 4 spoke RS alloys.

Nice to know a bit more history,

I guess that's why a lot of us go for 175 s........as well as the cost of funny size tyres
