| 2008MY VRS - which tyres were fitted when new? Hi guys, a quick question... When you picked up your new VRS; wich tyres were fitted? From reading comments on here I turned up at the dealers yesterday expecting to see either Dunlop Sports or Continental ContiSport's. I was very happy to see Michelin Pilot Exaltos fitted however.  Is this common? (Tyre size is 18" if it makes a difference?) Cheers, Lee

| Re: 2008MY VRS - which tyres were fitted when new? What tyres you end up with are a bit of a lottery, it depends on which manufacturer are giving a good deal to skoda at the time. Next week could be a different brand all together.
