Tires BRIDGESTONE or OEM Volkswagen

I highly recommend bridgestone Blizzaks, basically the best of the best. Any modern car with AWD and winter tires will be fine in the snow.

I once drove down birch road on a bad ice day with my blizzaks on, EIGHT cars had slid off into the steep ditches some in chain reactions to others getting stuck or losing traction, even a tow truck was already stuck, but I was able to idle on through with plenty of traction on blizzaks. They are cheaper than a deductible and physical health and safety is priceless. If you can afford them buy them.

I run Blizzaks all winter on 18" wheels. I ended up with those because when I bought the vehicle in Nov 2015 I asked for snow tires, because Alaska. Well, the dealer didn't have any in 20", in fact the whole town was sold out of them. The dealer made us a deal with new wheels and snow tires in 18". It has been handy, my husband swaps them in the driveway and I'm only on my second set of Blizzaks.

I put snow tires on my stock Mitsubishi Evo wheels for a weekend in Tahoe. All season tires didn't work, but wow the Bridgestone Blizzaks were magic even on an AWD 400 hp car

I run Bridgestone Potenzas on my ‘05 987.1.

They have been great.

Currently running Bridgestone Potenza RE980A/S+ on my E90 and they are sublime.

Recently got a set of 4 Bridgestones with only a couple thousand miles on them for $250 with free shipping.

Bridgestone tires are usually a good balance of performance and cost.

But you will almost certainly trade off some road noise and comfort.

Bridgestone Potenza RE92 are great on dry pavement; but they are a scary ride with RWD on wet, snowy, or icy pavement.

I had them on a 2019 Sport. I got rid of them at about 25k. They hydroplaned dangerously.
