Tires Nexen or Goodyear

You can still buy "PNEUMANT" Tires in Germany and Austria.

Went with Goodyear WinterCommands in 215/65/17 on VW steel rims. Worked them into the deal when we purchased the Tig. Definitely didnt want to run 19s in the winter.

One tyre brand I highly recommend which is cheap but performs pretty well is NEXEN

When I bought my car it had a mix of winter tires and odd budget tires all round. I got all 4 replaced for some decent Goodyear eagle F1's with balancing and tracking and had no regrets.

Have them on my TJ in 32.5” been very happy with them especially in snow.

I have 17s and I am on my second set. I got over 60k rotating 5 on the first set. Great grip in wet weather and excellent in snow too. Not too loud either.

Have had 3 sets, best at tire around. Much better than the KO2s I’ve had. 10/10 recommend

I bought them last year and they are alright. I am not a very enthusiastic driver though. They are less sticky than my cooper all season tires on dry roads but brake much better on snow than my all seasons.

In my experience, not a huge fan, on pavement I felt they were loud and squirrelly and wear out pretty wonky.

I’m at 34k on my 17 and need new tires, so yes seems like a few people on here have similar issues. Worst tires I’ve ever owned.
