If you just want the best real-world pick for a Golf in 205/55R16, skip the test charts and go straight for the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 it consistently lands top-3 across every test because it nails wet grip, winter traction, and tread life without the noise/harshness of CrossClimate.
I love the continentals, no matter the weather these things stay planted. Great grip and durability. I have bought 3 sets over the years and for my GTI it’s all I’ll buy.
I went Michelin AS4, and they hold their performance at a big temp and condition range
Hot take, but the TOYO ectensa tires have been great for me the past year I've had them on, granted we don't get much snow or freezing roads where I live. But for 600 out the door I have them a shot and the grip is great without wearing too quick
I've used the SRS+ tires for all season driving. They are fantastic. Rain or snow, they had a good grip. The ride is very smooth. I do not regret getting them.
I have a set of Pilot Sport AS4’s and they’ve been great for the ~7k miles, they’re the best tires for the wet that I’ve ever driven, and they handle alright-ish in snow
After sending the car for service to change the timing belt, tensioner, and the water pump on my VW Fox 2014 (brazilian model, EA111 1.6 8V), I got this noise for the first 5min the car is on, then the motor heats up a little and its gone, no performance issues so far.
Welcome to the club of probably needing to replace your water pump & thermostat housing \ud83e\udee1
Two things:
1. That is a straight MOT failure because it's dangerous.
2. Your choice is to replace the tyre today, or the wheel **and** the tyre tomorrow.
If you have white, the break dust will color your car.
