US only for the A1 body GTi/Jetta GLi - most A1 GTi's in Europe had
175/70-13's on steel rims, though later (post US 83 models) it went up to
185/60-14 on steel or optional alloy.

Later A2 Golf/Jetta came with 185/60-14, as did all 8V GTi (A2).

Speedo isn't off much, and BOY do they (RE-71's anyway) stick! They just
don't wear for too long, but thanks to being an old design, they are
cheap. BTDT
