Tires BRIDGESTONE or Kumho

I have a 2017 and have used Ecopia tires from day one. Original tires lasted me two years and over 60,000 miles. The current set has 40,000 and still going very strong. I average 50 mpg so they seem to be working well in all facets of their job.

The next tires i plan on getting are Kuhmos. I had some on a '16 GLI that were very quiet and rode great.

Then installed brand new Blizzak winter tires, aired up to 36lbs. Next 3 tanks road tripping to Bend Oregon. Largest size Thule cargo box on roof. First road trip tank on the way down all rolling rural highway, so a lot of total elevation change. 24mpg.

I would purchase Kumho tires (and I have and was very happy) before I purchased Laufenn.

So swapped out to an AWD Atlas, added new 17inch wheels with Blizzaks. It's a remarkable set up for winter driving, incredibly confidence inspiring

Michelin is expensive, almost double more expensive than Bridgestone. I have not seen anything different between them so far. I like the Bridgestone so far.

We have owned that tire on all four of our souls and we have had no problems in the snow. I personally like the tire, it’s rated great on tirerack.com and it drives great in the dry,wet and snow .

Ended up getting Bridgestone Potenza S-04 (since they were on sale). Car is now stable.

2015 MK7-R purchased June 2015, now has 6900 miles with Bridgestone (130 Treadwear-RIDICULOUS), rotated at 6500 at Discount tire, 7/32 in front and 8/32 in the rear. Mostly city driving, only 4.5 miles to work.

horrible tire. the road noise was embarrassing on this tire. i had them on my mkv rabbit when coming to a stop it sounded like my bearings were shot.
