Tires Nexen or Barum

I have the Nexens on mine and they’ve been fine through 16k miles.

I loved the sur4g from nexxen. I would do a lil burnout when I left my drive way. Warm enough.

Drove our car with Nexens on and it's a surprisingly quiet tire vs the Bridgestones it had on previously.

Update: got the Nexens and so far notice 0 road noise on highway or in town, both absolutely quiet.

The Nexens without a second thought... Those N'Fera SU1 tires are excellent tires and Nexen has arguably the best warranty in the tire industry.

I’ve owned a lot of VWs, and this is the only one that has not consumed any oil from the very beginning. I’ve actually joked that I’m concerned about that. I kept my previous 2016 GTI until I bought this car last year - 212K miles and it consumed about a quart and a half between 5K interval changes, ever since new. In fact all of my VWs have consumed something since new and that amount never really changed, so I do believe it is most likely build tolerances and luck of the draw. That said, I wouldn’t hesitate to drive a car that consumed a reasonable amount these days and I consider that normal. Build quality has been better than I expected for a car in this price range. Comfort is very good, but it’s not what I would call sporty in any way (coming from a GTI). some people complain about the lag on acceleration but I believe that is the transmission programming and there are ways you can drive it that minimize that. I think the Nexen tires are decent enough and they seem to wearing well.

I have the nexens on my golf R and they are perfectly serviceable winter tires. Would buy them again no problem

I got about 26,000 miles from the Nexen.

I had some nexens on a passat years ago, absolute trash. Traction was so bad I could spin them with the crappy 5 cyl on dry pavement

I finally got sick of them on my 2019 at about 21k miles with the rainy winter we had in Southern California and slipping all over the place.
