... can somebody help in So-Cal? I've called numerous VW places, and most supply Nankangs (no thanks). Couldn't find the tires elsewhere either (Performance Plus, Lucas...). Even Coker is out. Thanks!!! Stephan stsphoto@earthlink.net

I wish you a lot of good luck finding those, Stephan... I gave up, a year ago, when I switched my BRM wheels to 356. Finally settled for a pair of 145 Nankangs. Thankfully, the newer ones had a better looking side profile compared to my old 135s.
(edited to correct tire size)

I've heard you need better "tyres" to drive on those twisty European roads, anyway, so I just installed some new rims and tires on your car yesterday.

Bump! No more 145s from the guy above. Good used Firestone 145s welcome, too... I might consider Klebers, Pirellis or Michelins if they don't have any cracks. Thanks!

Anything wrong with Nankangs? The looks is not that important to me. How about grip?

How about grip? ![](http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss104/Rennsurfer2/DKK/RedLightPCH.jpg) Other than the brand name stamp on the side of the tire, I'm really happy with them as far as performance. They grip and ride nice. In a perfect world, I'd have a set of Pirellis to match my rear ones. But since I'm on a budget, these are doing very well for me.
