Yes, get 16" Tig OEM steelies and hub covers, and have your VW dealer put on Nokian Hakkapellitas or Rotivas, that you can order on Tire Rack to ship free to the dealer or your local shop. Dont wait too long as these are the best winters you can buy
Nokian WR G4's are low rolling resistance, and does well in the snow/packed snow/ice until the snowflake disappears, and doesn't affect gas mpg.
I have been running snows for over 30 years and the only ones I have ever had that are the quietest, are the Nokian Rotiiva AT. Not perfect, but leaps and bounds better than everything else I have run.
I have only used the Nokian's on that list.
I have Nokian Hakkapeliitta studded tires for my VR6 CC here in Alaska. They’re expensive but they make driving an absolute dream during the long winters.
Highly recommend Nokian all weather tires.
Honestly the Nokian WRG4 is a fantastic all weather tire. I feel like you either put the tire through some rough terrain that it's not meant for. Or you legitimately got a bad batch of tires.
Go with Nokian Hakks.
I run studded Hakks on two of my cars, best winter tires I've ever had.
Cooper is my go to brand right now for value and longevity.
My experience with Cooper's is that they last for ages, but had zero grip
