Best Tires for Volkswagen Golf

That being said I also ran Michelin and they handle extremely well in the snow.

Love love love my Alpins. They are no Blizzaks but the fact that they drive incredibly well in the cold dry roads adds so much pleasure to winter driving. I also don't need to commute so I just hang out for a day while they plow. They handle mild snow fine too

A lower-budget alternative? I actually also really, really like the General Altimax Arctics.

I live in NE and got Michelin Alpin 4s and like them quite bit. Its not too crazy here and if we get deep snow I have other options. We have an SUV I can use and since the pandemic I can work from home which is a huge help. I haven't driven in snow in years. If you only have the R as your daily and MUST drive in snow then I agree with the above statement that pure winter tires are a better choice. For me the Alpins ride quite nicely and don't feel squirmy or get hard as a rock when the temp drops.

I purchased Michelin Pilot Sport All-Season 4 225/40 R18 92Y XL BSW through Discount Tire for my '16 GSW TSI SEL w/DAP & DA. They are a decent tire and aren't as loud on the highway as my previous tires.

these Sumitomo HTR Enhance WX2 have been solid and cheaper than Michelins

Currently running Firehawk Indy 500s on my MK7.. Great grip, little to no road noise, a bit cheaper than the Michelins....

I had the PS4S for 3 summers and just got the G-Max RS this summer. Grip wise they seem to be a little better than the top tier all-seasons, but behind the top tier summers, which I expected. They still feel competent on my Stage 2 car.

The best middle ground would be your UHP All Seasons category. Not as performance oriented as summer. But also not as costly. Michelin Pilot Sport 4 A/S, Conti DWS06+ for example.

Not really the best tires around they don’t last long
