Tires BRIDGESTONE or OEM Volkswagen

BRIDGESTONE Tires

I've been using Bridgestone TURANZA 6 ALL SEASON since they came out, they are heads and shoulders above CrossClimates in every area other than snow, they are also considerably cheaper not being Michelins.

Pros: cheaper than Michelins
Cons: not good in snow

I've been really happy with the Potenza RE980AS+ on my 2002 New Beetle Sport. The Tire Rack performance numbers are very good across the board.

Pros: very good performance numbers
Vehicle: Volkswagen New Beetle

Rating 4.0

Haven't done a super long road trip in my MK8.5 - but have done a few 200mi trips. The car absolutely eats up the miles. Seats are super comfortable, cabin noise is tolerable, and I averaged 34MPG both ways cruising between 72 and 80. I personally despise adaptative cruise control, so I immediately turned it off (aggressive Boston traffic makes it unbearable). I did keep the lane assist on which is fine, not as good as the lane keep in my Raptor, but works very well. I'm more than happy with the ride, and once I get on to some smooth pavement, the 200 treadwear tires really quiet down.

Pros: seats super comfortable
Cons: lane assist not great

The Bridgestone A005 is less highly regarded in the snow and more for wet and cold (i.e Scotland), but both are miles and miles clear of a summer tyre in the snow.

Pros: good for wet, cold
Cons: poor snow performance

They are garbo. I got 30k out of my turanzas before I had to get new ones. I went with the Michilin Cross Climate 2. Totally worth it.

Pros: Totally worth it
Cons: garbo, only 30k miles
Mileage: 30000 km
