VW Help!!!!
I just purchased a 20th Anniversary Edition GTI. I called VW customer service the other day and was told that the 18" tires were good to use in the winter. This advice conflicts with the warning that came in my manual. The Customer Service Rep that I spoke to didn't seem too technical and I obviously doubted her credibility.
I then went on the VW site and tried to send a message and the site was giving me an error when I tried to submit my inquiry. Now I'm frustrated and would like some help.
I would like to purchase steel rims and tires to use in the winter. I have two simple questions and would appreciate if these could be answered by one of the VW technical reps. 1) What issues will I have if I use 16 or 17 inch rims with snow tires? I would like to keep costs down if possible. 2) What snow tires do you recommend?
