From 1974 to 1983, the Scirocco was fitted with a 155SR13 radial tyre as standard, with the option of a 175/70SR13 on a wider wheel. From 1984 the car moved to a 14-inch wheel with a 185/60HR14 tyre.
The Mk1 Scirocco was a small, cramped but delicate coupe based on the Mk1 Golf. It was successful, and its styling was praised. The Mk2 was larger, faster and more practical, but a little less pretty.
