Tires Pirelli or Kumho

The general consensus was that 235/40 should fit just fine with no rubbing on stock wheels and suspension. Do keep in mind, PSS tires are a tad wider than stock Pirelli.

Kumho tires are the highest rated bang for the buck tire on the market. I will never buy another brand of tire.

Ended up ordering the last set of Pirelli Sottozero 3s in the country from tire rack. I'm getting them installed today.

I put over 40k on my p zero tires with the mk6, I know people dog then but I was glad to get them again with my mk7.

I also have the Pirelli Cinturato P7 on my wife's MK6 Jetta and I like them very much as well. They are just as quite and smooth as the Michelins on my CC.

I got the same tires on my 2-door mk7 GTI. I think the tires are great but they were vibrating on the freeway so i had the deal check the balance and two of them were slightly out of balance. Rebalanced and so far so good.

Kumho is a good brand, but there are many others. Don't skimp on your tires, many non-car people simply buy the cheapest, long-lasting tires they can find and only to discover they sold off their safety in the process.

I have 195/50R15 KU25s over 8" and compared to the same sized Falken ZE329, they don't look as good. The sidewall bulges out on the Kumhos.

My experience with Kuhmos is they were prone to sidewall bubbles after pot-holes or curb contact.

horrible tire. the road noise was embarrassing on this tire. i had them on my mkv rabbit when coming to a stop it sounded like my bearings were shot.
