Hi, I am buying the 1.4 tsi 125 base model but my mechanic needs technical information on the tyres, apparently 215/65 R17 is not enough information?!

Not sure what other information he would need? is it to just order you some winter tyres?

They are round? rubber? :lol:

You also need the load rating of the tyre.

So the full spec you need is:
215/65/17" 99V (this is the load rating)

Thanks for the load rating. I just noticed the dimensions you wrote are different, 215/55/17 I thought it was 215/65/17? Just checking.
