Question Guys!

I need some help with tyres here. Wife's new beetle gonna be here next month and she's getting 17s for the car, so obviously she'll need tyres. What would you recommend?

Model Noise Wear Price Grip TOTAL

RE001 2 2 1 2 7

KU31 3 3 3 2 11

KU36 2 1 2 3 8

595 SS 3 3 3 2 11

595 Evo 2 2 2 3 9

Size that I'm getting is 215/45/17 and judging from the price I've got here, KU31 (option1, cheapest) and SS (ERD, cheapest) are the best compromise between noise/price/wear. What are your thoughts?

Get the SS. I've got no complaints on mine. Brilliant everyday tyre.

Brandon... I'd recommend Linglongs.

LINGLONGS FTW!

is it the turbo beetle or na?

I'd go for 595s or 535s respecitvely... if I wasn't buying Linglongs that is!!

Ok, I'm just gonna ignore the rest. :P

Colin: yea thats what I thought too but dont know if noise will be an issue. KU31 is cheaper so its a tough 1.

chinese/taiwanese

basically the same shit..

SAME SAME BUT DIFFERENT LAH!

FAIL

Taiwanese uses "MEH" for that sentence, Chinese uses "BEH" and Singapore/Malaysia uses "LAH"... Talk about multi-cultural...

I gave you a normal answer as well. the 59s and the 53s are both quiet. I've been in Colin's car when he's been giving it some and the only time we noticed the tyres was when they squealed a little on a corner or two.

The 53s I had on the Capri for ages and are also great.

Come for a spin in mine on thursday and you can see what the noise is like. It doesn't bother me there are a lot of things that are noisier in my car than the tyres.

Thats the exact reason why I'm asking. I cbf about the noise on mine as the exhaust will be louder but on her beetle its different. The CR KAI I sold to my friend had some ling longs on them (cheapass) and I didnt know they're noisy until he put them on his cefiro. Its very annoying to hear thats for sure, sounds like bee buzzing.

John: its the actual tyre being noisy and not from lost of traction etc. Generally better gripping tyres are noiser than lesser gripping ones. And thats why I'm checking whats the best compromise between them.

Nope but its actually around 75kW if you wanna know. The last beetle before the new facelift thats coming soon.

To be fair though, I love all things Volkswagen and have owned two beetles, and did my driving test in a new beetle. They are great cars and go pretty hard. The federals will increase the handling on it, but I would also look at suspension, it's pretty soft, and can affect cornering a bit. I'd just go with 535s though, for an NA Beetle. I would have used 595s on the turbo version.

Obviously your call, but my input as a Volkswagen and federal user :P

      R34 Handbrake light saying ON and intermittently flashing

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This. The R34 handbrake icon DOES come up when the brake fluid level is low. You might be sitting right on that threshhold. I have been down this diagnosis path and this was the solution (and it was pretty much as full as your picture is to begin with).

      Unfortunately the cavaet to that is that while any scan tool should be able to read the code, the workshop will need a consult plug to OBD socket adapter. You don't have a location on your profile, where are you based?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.
