Yeah the subject is real Don't kill me
Driven my scirocco twice before in the desert was great experience , Switched to Manual then kept it on 2nd gear and tried to maintain speed on 20-25 km it went smooth and easy
4 Tyres were Dunlop SP01s

Yesterday i went again into the sand, but this time my front tyres were Michelin Pilot Sport, it didnt even move 10 meters before i got stuck
Towed by an FJ
Again when i tried to move maybe after 5 meters i got stuck again :(

I know it is not meant to be driven off-road but even on the street i used to do very hard cornering speed of 100-120km with 4 Dunlop installed and never had a problem
With Front Michelin i can't go more than 60 it will spin even with TCS ON
