Owner reviews for tires

I’ve got Bridgestone Blizzaks on mine and absolutely love them.

Apart from the stock all-season tires being abysmally horrid in the winter (I have another set of wheels with summer-only tires for warm weather), I haven't had any issues with my car and using the go-pedal.

With winter weather has been here for a week now, and they have been great, millions of times better than the junk X-Ice I had on the Passat, and comparable to any other good winter tire I've used in the past.

BUT the General RT43s are cheaper, long life, and offer better performance.

because I had Hakka 8s un-studded on my previous GTI and they were great.

Blizzaks and X-Ice are great tires but rather expensive, there are some great cheaper alternatives (General Tire Altimax Arctic)

Normally I'd say to stick with Bridgestone Blizzak, Pirelli Sottozero 3, Michellin X-Ice 3, or Continental WinterContact Si's... But $200 for a slightly used set on wheels that fit your car? Can't really go wrong there.

Used a higher quality tyre last time : Michelin Alpine 5...

I had used cheap winters before but you really do notice the difference in quality, grip etc

nankang is not bad just probably a bit of road noise

The kuhmo solus are the worst tires I've ever seen cost way to much for what they actually do for mileage. I've seen brand new kia's with <20k miles need brand new tires after being factory equipped with Solus's.
