Tires Nexen or YOKOHAMA

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 personally use and love my Yokohama Advan Fleva v701s. They do fantastic in Florida rain, I've never even skid—no clue about the snow though.

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.

The OEM Geolanders that came on my '18 Crosstrek were the best tires I have ever owned and I always purchased Michelin or Continentals. I went back to Michelins because the Geolanders were 20% higher. The Michelins are no longer the benchmark of tires.

Had yokohoma gelolander gt, they rode really smoothly.

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

I tried Yokohama before, while grip is good, it wears out faster.

At my 35K (mi) scheduled maintenance, I was told I had 2/32 left on the OEM Nexens.

I started sliding sideways when taking off from the lights in the rain. The very next opportunity I had Pilot Sport 4 on and never looked back.
