Best Tires for Volkswagen Golf

Put my 16" golf oem rims and general artimax tires on last night. So far very happy with the road noise and handling even in 60 degree temps here in NJ.

I have the Michelin A/S 3s on my MKVI and am very happy with them, they replaced the OEM Contis that came with the car at around 40K.

I put over 40k on my p zero tires with the mk6, I know people dog then but I was glad to get them again with my mk7.

I have Pirelli's on our van and am much happier with them than I am with my Michelin's on my Golf. The Pirelli's are much much better in all conditions.

Michelin Primacy MXM4 in 235/40/18 is exactly what I would do! I did similar with 17" wheels on my MKVI TDI and then my friend did it with the 18" wheels on his MKVI GTI. As for the Primacy MXM4, I love them. I've had mine for about 55K miles now and will be replacing them with the exact same thing when the time comes pretty soon, before the winter hits in Pennsylvania. But the tires really have lasted well and they are as quiet and comfortable as any tire I have ever had on a car.

I have 17x8 RPF1's with 245/40 R17 Hankook V12's and I have no problems with rubbing. Final et is 35 in the front and 30 in the rear on my car. I'm also lowered on ST Coils to about a 2 finger gap all around.

The federal rsr 595s I'm using on the rse05s hold up much better at the track.

I wanted a cool looking and well working tire. Read several reviews and decided to go a mid-way in price/performance depending on weather conditions in Latvia in summer, so today I got a new set of Toyo Proxes T1R for the summer season

I had Michelin X-Ice 2 on mine (and didn't like them - not enough actual snow traction, ice traction was good of course, so was dry/wet performance and noise/comfort). The TDI engine was easily able to overpower the front wheels while starting...

I have had a few sets of blizzacks, and while they were great on slick roads, I found they were not good going through a few inches or more of snow and were terribly "mushy".
