Owner reviews for tires

I quite like a 50 series 13" tire on a rabbit personally.

I get 37mpg city in my tdi, and the best mileage I ever got on my rabbit (2.5 mkv) was 32mpg with 15's and ultra low rolling resistance tires.

I bought 4 Dunlop tires on Tire Rack some 3 yrs ago for my Passat B5.

Bridgestone Potenza S01 Pole Positions or RE050A are far superior...

So my Bridgestone Potenzas got slicked out (lasted 23k km) and a friend reccomended and got me a set of 225-45-XR17 Hankook RS-3 Tires... This hankook tires are rated as Semi-Slicks, and by how they perform, i agree with that... First impressions (compared with Bridgestone Potenzas 225-45-r17): Awesome handling capabilities the car feels so much more responsive and precise in both dry and wet conditions Great Braking You can feel the car generating more negative G force when you slam the brakes Really Confortable to ride and noise levels are low, plus they have a more Solid Feel in the pavement imperfections Overall Conclusions: Way Better Than Bridgestone Potenzas (same sizes and everything) and by far more affordable Definetly the tire to go with in summer conditions

I had the dealer replace the Hankooks that came with my V6 SE Passat with Michelin MXM4 94V rated tires. The difference in ride quality and handling is phenomenal!

I had the dealer swap the Hankooks that were on our new B7 to Conti ProContacts which were on a another B7 in the lot. We have about 1500 miles on car and I can honestly say the car rides quiet.....no more road noise than the B6, and no wind noise.

+ get the continental DW, it has soft walls

i had toyo proxy 4's on my wheels. were barely stretched though but they arent too bad from what I've seen.

Mine is super annoying between 20-30mph. Running Falken ze-512, for now. They have always been loud but now that they are cupped a bit, it is bad.
