    What kind of tires are on your Beetle Turbo?

    02-14-2012 10:09 AM #1
    I was at the dealer yesterday picking up my second key (they had lost my first on on delivery) and noticed a red Turbo in the showroom configured exactly like mine. In fact, the VIN was only like 800 away from mine.

    I noticed that it had 18" Hankook Ventus tires on it whereas mine came with 18" Bridgestone tires. Seems a bit strange and so I was wondering what others have on theirs.

    I wonder if the differing tires (Hankook vs. Bridgestone) are an indicator as to whether or not the vehicle is equipped with the Sport Suspension.
