Re: Tires for 99 jetta A4 vr6

The Revo is a touring tire. It will probably feel about
the same as the stock tire.

If you can swing it, go for the wheel size upgrade. The larger
the wheel the smaller the profile the tire will be. The smaller
the profile tires will feel rougher. The A4 GLX comes with 16 inch
wheels and you can now get Jettas with 17 in from the factory.
Either should be fine. I've driven both cars and tend to prefer the 16inch
with a performance tire ie. better than stock.
