These guys are right, kind of wasting your money if you buy $$$ wheels & tires, especially performance wheels & tires if your not going to drive it like a race car. I had some cheaper ones on my 1987 supra, think they we Nakang or something, they were great tires and fairly cheap to.

Just to be clear, tires are absolutely critical for all situations - they're the only thing connecting you to the road. Just because the Mkiv TT might not get driven to its max at track events, does not also mean that the owner doesn't want that exact same performance level available to him/her in an emergency. My point was mainly about the rims - to me, there's nothing wrong (functionally speaking) with 17" rims, and 9.5" wide is enough to handle most situations for near-oem horsepower levels. The
tires however, are a different matter. Stick to oem-spec z-rated tires, and at least oem widths. Please let me know if you'd like specific brand recommendations.
