Tires Kumho or BFGoodrich
Am montat Kumho si sunt multumit.
The 275/70/17 size shouldn’t rub with stock suspension, my bfg ko2’s never did and now I have ko3’s and they don’t.
I love my Kumho AT52's. They're insanely well priced, have good wet grip - and make zero noise
Kumho tires turned out to be the best tires I’ve had in 25 years❗️
I personally love my BFG tires, and have had a good experience with multiple sets.
I ended up going with the KO3 recently when my badlands tires wore down. They are noticeably better in the rain and taking quick turns without the backend slipping.
Definitely a bit less grip in the dry than the 215 PS4s, but they're actually usable in the cold, solid in the wet, and at least passable in the snow. I'm not sure how much of the change in handling is down to the taller sidewall and narrower tire, and how much is the tire compound itself.
Installed some AT tires and new wheels. After 1000 miles my efficiency dropped from 2.4 to 2.1 based on my driving habits and daily commute.
I had them on my 2020 GLI and drove the fronts down to about 18K miles. When I got my 2023, I got rid of them immediately. For a car such as this it shouldn't even come on the Kinergy's. For a daily performance car it deserves better rubber and anyone doing even the slightest bit of spirited driving can immediately feel they are not good. Great for daily commuting and around town so I'd assume they will last
I have load range E tires (BFG KO3) on Rock Warrior 17" forged wheels, so I've made that tradeoff too, but am clear-eyed about consequences. Also, loss in MPG and acceleration due to having to spin more weight on each wheel. And incorrect speedometer / odometer readings. And loss in tow capacity (due to giving away torque via taller tires, which effectively decreases gear ratios).
