Tires Toyo or OEM Volkswagen

I did, I upgraded to the Toyo Tire Open Country III A/T. Looking forward to winter ❄️

These tires were just taken off a two-week old 2022 Volkswagen GTI. The tires were driven lightly during break-in period before dismounting with only 315 miles on them. They are in as-new condition.

I'm pretty impressed so far, they are very quiet for an AT tire and they look cool on a Grandma SUV. MPG difference is effectively zero.

Overall the I found the GTI was very impressive at a track that doesn't cater to FWD and with terrible 560tw all seasons.

I'm running Toyo tires Proxes ST3. Such a much smoother ride than the stocks. Super grippy as well. Wet performance is also great.

I recommend Toyo tires, Bridgestone and Michelin. We usually go with toyo but all of the 3 have served us well

I ended up getting the Toyo Open Country ATIII tires as recommended by some of the posters below, and my tire shop! These seem to last longer than some of other options I was looking at, and don't need rotation as frequently. They're also rated as all-season tires, which is a nice plus for New England.

So far I've driven them offroad quite a bit in VT on the NE BDR, some trails in NH, and out on the beach at the Cape Cod National seashore. They've handled it all very well.

As far as road manners go, they are nice and quiet, but of course they are a slightly louder than highway tires. nothing obnoxious. They've also done just fine with grip on wet asphalt, and are fine on dry asphalt as well. I don't think they are as responsive as the HT tires were for steering on the road, but they track nice and straight.

I did get new wheels and tires and couldn\u2019t be happier. The 205/55s are a better choice for general use, being much quieter overall and considerably less harsh on city streets, while keeping very solid highway performance.

They stretch real nice.. handling and ride isnt that great though compared to my Vredstein sporttrac 2's I had.. if you can get those i would look into it. They are awesome tires in every aspect, way above the Toyos..

Tire is rubbing! (only when I turn) My attempt at rectifying the problem. Installed BFT fit blocks and it still rubs. Cut the fender liner and it still rubs. I returned the wheels and tires.
