Tires PHANTOM or OEM Volkswagen

Bought my 2019 with 17 miles on it. 6 speed, no sunroof.

Have close to 48k on it now, I’ve replaced the tires and the battery. Done my yearly maintenance, and I just had the 50k service done on it. No issues to report. Been extremely reliable, I only drive it 6-8k a year.

Haven't done a super long road trip in my MK8.5 - but have done a few 200mi trips. The car absolutely eats up the miles. Seats are super comfortable, cabin noise is tolerable, and I averaged 34MPG both ways cruising between 72 and 80. I personally despise adaptative cruise control, so I immediately turned it off (aggressive Boston traffic makes it unbearable). I did keep the lane assist on which is fine, not as good as the lane keep in my Raptor, but works very well. I'm more than happy with the ride, and once I get on to some smooth pavement, the 200 treadwear tires really quiet down.

I have since tuned my GTI and installed summer tires, it has only further cemented my decision. Now the car pulls harder but you still have to work with the car to put the power to ground.

Currently, running Phantom C-sports. Have 25k on these...and they are wearing o0n target to reach the 50k guarantee.

I don't know if it is still relevant, but I put this Phantom on my 2020 Ridgeline, and I’m very happy. I saved at least $200. The tires were a little bit noisy in the beginning but after the first month much better ???? keep road as champ even under heavy rain. Totally recommend this tires!

They’re good for me since my car has camber and will just destroy the tires anyways

Grip will be more than fine. Nice soft compound. Performance will be lovely. At first. They will not last. Structural failures before tread is used up, are common. But new is better than old, so if that's what you can afford, go for it.

They were fine for my mini cooper in Southern California. I’d get the warranty tho!

i just purchased these tires a few weeks ago for my 2021 nissan rogue. they drive fine. they’re as quiet as my old ones, but maybe a little bumpier. the one thing that i noticed the most though was the drop in my fuel efficiency.

The gti tired are crap
