Tires NITTO or OEM Volkswagen

NITTO Tires

Nitto Motivo 365 are a fair bit less than the CC2 and are an excellent all weather tire. I've had them on my Forester for a year now. On the Legacy, I used to swap between dedicated summer and winter tires, but the Nittos have been excellent, and I don't feel like I'm missing anything by not having snow tires.

Pros: excellent all weather tire

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.

Pros: very smooth in winter
Cons: front assist unavailable

Compared to the continentals my initial impression is that the Motivo 365 grab in the dry snow, packed snow, and slush much better. I had one intersection that was a little messy and in similar situations my Contis were quick to lose traction but the Motivos grabbed really well.

Pros: grab in snow, grab in slush
Cons: lose traction if pushed

I was able to get Nitto Recon Grapplers 37x12.5r20 installed for $2030 out the door. Others in town were about $2400-$2800 for the same tires and install.

Pros: competitive pricing

I always ran Nitto NT555 gen 1 and gen 2 on my LS430. Pretty light stretch, especially the gen 2’s as they run wider. Been running these sizes and wheels for 12 years.

Pros: long-term use
Cons: light stretch, gen 2 run wider

Ran Grapplers on my F150 and they are loud AF. They’re not nearly as good on wet pavement, snow, ice as Wildpeaks.

Cons: loud, poor in wet pavement, poor in snow, poor in ice
