Best Tires for Volkswagen Golf

For tires, I'm running Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4's year-round and they have been exceptional.

I still have the stock wheels and the original Bridgestone Potenza tires. Not being a track junkie, the Bridgestones have served me well and, when they need replaced, I'll probably get them again just because they must have a sturdy, strong sidewall that helps protect the wheel.

Conti's on my R since 1000K miles. I'm at 24K now and they're holding up great. I'm in CT, we get some good snow events here, not like Chi town I'm sure, but the couple times I had to go out in it I wasn't too worried.

Did 18” dedicated rims with Michelin X-ICE (as I’ve loved how competent they are on dry cold roads as well as snowy ones.

They’re excellent.

A set of 4 almost new Borbet N 18x8 ET 44 57.1 wheels with 225 40 18 92Y XL Continental Premium Contact 7 Summer tires. Perfect condition. About 3k miles on the set. Tire DOT is 1025. Wheels are 57.1 hubcentric and mount using the factory lug bolts. I love the bronze finish. It gets lots of compliments

I am running Pirelli P Zero AS3+ on my '24, and the road noise from tires is less than those on my '18.

Haven't done a super long road trip in my MK8.5 - but have done a few 200mi trips. The car absolutely eats up the miles. Seats are super comfortable, cabin noise is tolerable, and I averaged 34MPG both ways cruising between 72 and 80. I personally despise adaptative cruise control, so I immediately turned it off (aggressive Boston traffic makes it unbearable). I did keep the lane assist on which is fine, not as good as the lane keep in my Raptor, but works very well. I'm more than happy with the ride, and once I get on to some smooth pavement, the 200 treadwear tires really quiet down.

Hankooks. Not terrible. At 12k now and the fronts probably needed to be rotated sooner. If I get another 5k out of the set that would be nice.

Ran the blizzaks through 4-6 inches of snow and was barely making it through that. I never had less confidence in the snow than on those WS80 blizzaks. They were almost worse than the Sotozorro 3’s I had on my R two winters ago. Those I’ll excuse those because they were at least OK in the dry, otherwise they were pretty terrible in anything but light snow.
