Nokia Tires

I’ve decided skip Winter tires for my Golf Sportwagen this year and just go with Nokian WR G4 All weather tires to replace the stock all seasons. My reasoning is I got another car ( VW Routan) with dedicated Winter tires and on the bad days I have the choice to either drive the other car with Winter tires or even better work from home whenever school is cancelled due to snow. Given my circumstances, the All weather Nokians for the GSW make a lot of sense.

Pros: makes a lot of sense

EBC Brake pads
MikeL46
  • Braking:
  • Dust:
Rating 4.5

EBC Red. I put them on my GTI and liked the low dust but loved the feel of the brakes. I thought the stock pads came on quite strong, but didn't get that much stronger as I pushed harder on the pedal. The reds are very linear without any hint of initial grabbiness.

Pros: low dust, loved the feel
Cons: not much stronger
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Total Engine oil
TDeyeguy
  • Engine noise:
Rating 4.0

That'd be nice. I could just run the same oil in the Tig and my Golf TDI. 504/507 Total Quartz is quite a bit cheaper than the Castrol 0w20 and it's been doing great in my Golf according to the Blackstone reports.

Pros: doing great in Golf
Cons: Total Quartz is cheaper
