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 Michelin Pilot HX MXM4s on right now, and they're a nice tire.
No idea about prices and avaliability where you are but as far as winter tyres go I recommend Michelin and Nokian.
Michelin Pilot Sport all-seasons have been my chosen tire for the last year and a half, and I am really happy with them! Loads of grip, however because I opted for 225s, I hydroplane sometimes on standing water
Very early notice here but just got my VW back from the dealer. They put replacement LS2's on and road/force balanced. Test drove and had the steering wheel shake. Well, after reading it and finding the shakes still there with new LS2’s, they borrowed a set of Latitudes off another Touareg on site. No shakes.
Currently on PSSs. Phenomenal tire. Had PS2s on the 330 and they wore very well. Yes the rears were gone at 30K, but the fronts were still at 5/32s.
Another vote for the Continental DWS... I have had them for front tires on my '06 for about a year..only reason I haven't replaced the stock rears is because they still have tread left at 73K!(they are Michelin Primacys which are a nice tire but only under dry or wet conditions..tread life is awesome, but they're terrible in snow)
I have Michelin PA3 now and used them last winter. Not problems at all, they are definitely great on snow, ice, AND tarmac. They feel very very close to the stock AS and don't eat too much fuel economy.
I went with Michelin Xice Xi2 on 16" elbrus alloys from Tirerack, and the good ol' bi-yearly self-o change-o. Comfortable, safe, quiet... no complaints :thumbup:
these are excellent in all areas so far, road noise is non-existent, they're great in the rain, and sticky on dry pavement.
