Tires Continental or Goodyear

I got the same exact set up on my wife's Jetta. Good tires for all season driving, very sticky with awesome handling in the rain/snow and great handling when dry...

the Contis are awesome in the dry and wet (and snow). Will defintely buy those again.

Goodyear Eagle F1's ftw!

I'll 2nd this. A lot of people say the sidewalls are too soft for a performance tire, but I think they are plenty responsive and they have nearly endless grip. Wet performance is nothing short of phenomenal too. Another selling point: They are amazingly quiet on the highway. Much quieter than the Dunlop SP Sport 8000's I had on prior.

100% Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3s Only summer tires I buy anymore. I've had them on a D2 A8 and loved them, now they're on my GTI in 235 35 19 still lovin them. They are expensive and wear relatively quickly, but they have superior performance in wet and dry weather.

O.K I did it. Got the Contintal Cross Contact UHP 285/50/18 put on this afternoon. Driving home they seemed to be very quiet and smooth running.

The tires are great in the rain, great in the dry, quiet and give a good ride quality. People have had bad luck with bubbles, yes, but I had no such luck in the past.

They're excellent tires in wet & dry conditions, but as other people have mentioned, they're very prone to sidewall issues and tend to bubble.

They handled well, were great in the rain. Wore out quickly and damaged easily.

buy anything but those tires when they wear out, they suck!
