Get a GT3. It'll come with 4 new tires.

Default Just put the Falken's on my Passat. 205/55/16's $125 installed each.

As for how they compare to any other tire...no idea. Basically, for that price, they're neither going to be the best nor the worst tire out there.

Then you'd just start bitching that it only has 415 HP, while the chipped TT's have 580+

Perhaps although I keep reading about TT owners saying how much more fun the GT3 is.

All seasons? Lol. Screw all seasons. Run proper summers and winters.

Default Hmmm...ok. I was with a TT owner on the weekend who's opinion was opposite.

He wasn't knocking the GT3 by any means, but his point was basically you could somewhat tighten up a TT to handle closer to a GT3 (please...we both acknowledged "somewhat" so don't flame) + you'd have almost 200HP more if you include chip/exhaust.

I can't say...Pauls GT3 handled/braked well enough to make me want to hurl - that's a compliment - but I've never been in a TT at those speeds.

But trust me, as AW is my witness, you would bitch that you'd want more power.
