Anyone else out there with a Clubsport on 19" Brescia alloys and Pirelli P Zero's?
I had a puncture on mine to find out it has the incorrect size tyres fitted!
They should be 235 35 R19 as specified on all the VW literature to find out they were actually 225 35 R19.
Anyone else found out they have the same issue?
I am awaiting a response from VW Dealer

I just threw this into Erwin:

It left the factory on 225s (TPS agrees).

Looks like the literature is wrong.

Also, what does your tyre pressure plate list as the tyre options for that wheel size? Those are the definitive sources, rather than the brochure

I think its the R with the 235 size, the GTI gets 7,5x19" which I think is 225 width

Either or, I would imagine.

If it's an 8" rim, usually 235 is the order of the day from VW.

Yep, VW come clean it's a misprint 7.5J wheels with 225, they should be changing their literature to read correct.
Although I think 235 would fit without too much problem, as the 225 are flush with the edge of the rim, hardly any overhang.
