Well if the width is the same, and the tire is only about 6 pounds heavier...how many mpg will I lose? The guy I called about the new rims said there was that 6 pound diffference.

Fair enough. What % fuel economy do you lose by going from a 16" rim to an 18" rim?

I thought changing actual tire size affected fuel mileage, not the actual rim. At least as long as the entire diameter of the tire stays the same.

Then the question that comes to mind, is why are all these other people with FWD posting about equal tire pressures on all 4 tires? I guess I was just looking for some direct answers to the questions I had instead of piecing together a bunch of other posts that never completely address my...

Yeah most of the threads I found using the SEARCH function just talked about general tire pressures. Which pressure to use. (Door vs Tire wall) How close to get to max tire pressure and for what conditions. I never found anything talking about someone having different tire pressures in the...

I wasn't sure if this was standard on most 06 Jetta TDI's. But the front tires are 35 psi tires and the rear are 44 psi tires. (This is what the sidewalls say is the max psi) (1) Is this standard? (2) Is there some advantage to doing this, possibly better control/handling or gas mileage? (3)...

Thanks Thanks man! I'm just looking for decent sound. I was planning on just swapping out the speakers and installing an iPod adapter. Would you suggest anything else? I didn't know if it would be worth it to install a head unit or a subwoofer.

Anyone know if I'd be able to throw in some type of Bose sound system into my 06 Jetta TDI. And where would I be able to get this done?

Using Neutral I drive an 06 Jetta TDI. I was just curious if throwing the car in neutral on straightaways with a slight decline, and hilly areas is worth the gas mileage I save. Obviously when I need to use the gas again I put the transmission back in drive and slightly ease back on the gas.
