Nokia Tires

Honestly, if you have the option to get the Nokian Hakkas I would grab those. I had Nokian Haakas when I had my Golf about 8 years ago for 4 winters in Montreal. I used to drive to the mountains to go snowboarding with my daughter on weekends at the cottage and never had an issue with driving. We get ice, dumps of snow, slush and just about everything you can get in a winter season that always seems to last forever. Looooooved the Haakas.

Pros: never had an issue

Magnat Differential

There's no car, for me, that strikes the balance of performance, quality, comfort, compactness, practicality, moddability, PDK-like DSG (not exactly, but you get my drift), and tastefullness as well as the Golf R. The new magna diff 100% sealed the deal, as the haldex always held the R off from being what it could be

Pros: performance, quality, comfort
Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

MICHELIN Tires

My Winter set up includes Y rated tires, however they are not a Winter tire per Se. They are all season/ all-weather tires with the 3MPSF severe winter rating.

Pros: all season, severe winter rating

Rating 3.0

I run continental extremecontact dws 06+ on my golf. They’re the quietest tire I’ve found for the golf. The tires are ok. Not sport tires but have decent grip. Sidewall is a little soft.

Pros: quietest tire, decent grip
Cons: sidewall a little soft

MISHIMOTO Engine radiator

  • Overheating:
  • Leaks:
Rating 2.0

2012 Golf R (FSI) and just recently had a Mishimoto radiator installed. Car behaves normally on the road but the first track event after having it installed it got very warm (about halfway between normal and red zone on factory gauge) and actually spit out some coolant under the hood I found once back in the paddock. Shop has checked everything out, re-bled the system and found no air but does start to get hot under sustained boost. Funny thing is I track the car heavily and never had this issue on the OEM radiator, also the water pump was recently changed with timing service and has less than 1000 miles on it.

Cons: got very warm, spit coolant
