Tires Firestone or OEM Volkswagen

I\u2019ve got Firestone weathergrip from the previous owner of my Outback wilderness and they have been great in the snow for our commute in Lake Ontario snow belt.

second winter with my mk8 as well over on the east coast. the frequent issue I run into is my front assist being unavailable from snow / ice. Otherwise I find it very smooth in the winter, I almost prefer winter driving as opposed to spring-fall. my car drives better on my 17" winters than my 19" oem wheels.

I have Firestone weather grips and I like them a lot and they were half the cost of cross climate 2s

I have ran Firestone Winterforce and Firestone Winterforce 2 on my RWD R/T Chargers since 2009 and have zero complaints.

I went with Firestone destination at/2 in 235/65 r17. They are great and light weight! Only 4lbs more than stock tires.

I have a set of Firestone Destination All terrains tires and i love them.

I used to commute from Ithaca to Syracuse daily in a mk5 GLI. I had studded Firestone Winterforces on steel wheels. That car was an absolute beast in the snow and regularly outperformed 4x4’s.

We had Firestone Transforces on my dad\u2019s truck when I was in high school. Slightest hint of mud and they would pack up and slick off in an instant, but man they lasted a long time.

Personally I stay away from the Firestone stuff. Hard compounds that aquaplane easily and still have worse rolling resistance than the premium tyres.

I would almost never recommend firehawks. They wear like shit
