Tires Continental or NANKANG

I have a B7 V6 Passat Wagon here in Australia and they come with Continental ContiSportContact 5 and they are amazingly quiet, much better than the Pirelli P Zero's I had on my R36 Wagon.

+ get the continental DW, it has soft walls

By far the best tire I've ever ridden on. Just excellent all around.

i have them , deff buy .they are good and have been holding up well

I've had them on C5's and on my Kups. I love them! Wet or dry they are great and pretty much silent.

I have the NSII, I like them. Stretch well, good for the money. I've had them for about a year so far and they are holding up well too.

nankangs are great I have never had any issues and they stretch real nice

When I first had mine, I used to run 38psi all around but after a few thousand KMs I found them to ride too hard so I lowered mine to 36psi but was slightly better. But lately, i've been running them at 35psi all around and I find that this is the right balance for comfort and sportiness. I think 35-38psi is a good pressure. Anything higher seems to be over inflated in my opinion. These tires are far better than my experience with Falken's FK452s. Those tires were just noisy as they wore. I also found them to be stiffer on the widewalls in comparison to the conti's.

I find that I do notice that cornering gets more "spongy" on any of the Contis I have had below about 36-38 psi. The factory recommendation is a compromise with soft ride / comfort. To get better handling and mileage you can go way above 38 psi before the inside wears out faster - something like >45 psi, perhaps. I run my TDI at 40 psi, and the outside edges still wear out quickly (from the many corners in the hills, here). And yes, the Contis IMO do like to be inflated.

The GTI would have performed much better on the summer tires, those all-seasons really are terrible.
