I have a MK6 and it handles great on snow with winter tires.
Another alternative is to look for budget tier tires. I went down the rabbit hole recently and Giti is apparently decent enough and performs well as its branded peers in wet conditions.
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.
Alles top, solang die richtige Karkasse nicht in Vorschein kommt ist das in Ordnung.
I had a front wheel drive VW Golf GTI with an ECU tune. My front tires lasted about 25k km.
Giti is an okay brand of tire but personally, I will switch to Michelins once the OEM tires need replacing. And even then EV tires will need more constant replacements because of the extra weight.
Can u at least get brand new china tyres like Giti or tourador instead of second hand tyres?
This tire is a GITI tire made in China, Indonesia and America & it's not the best by far. Probably defective and inferior materials combined with whatever you drove into or over it failed miserably.
Two things:
1. That is a straight MOT failure because it's dangerous.
2. Your choice is to replace the tyre today, or the wheel **and** the tyre tomorrow.
I have a 2021 VW Tiguan SE 4Motion with 43k miles, still rocking its factory Giti tires. While prepping for a road trip, I discovered that all four are dry rotting pretty badly, and one is starting to crack on the sidewall. Kinda looks like I needed tires yesterday.
