Volkswagen Golf Winter Tyres
I have a 2006 VW Golf GTD and i want to fit winter tyres. The ride is uncomfortable on the stndard 17-inch wheels so I ask if it is allowed to fit a smaller diameter wheel set, say 15-inch? I notice the Germans use steel wheels with their winter tyres so I will follow their lead.

No reason why not. The Golf V Bluemotion was on 15-inch wheels with 195/65 R15 tyres.
