I test drove all 3 tire size when shopping the Arteon, don't be fooled, size does matter. As expected, 18 inch has the best ride and the 20 the worst. It was quite noticeable even on the short drive.
Apart from the stock all-season tires being abysmally horrid in the winter (I have another set of wheels with summer-only tires for warm weather), I haven't had any issues with my car and using the go-pedal.
Just drove my mk5 through a winter storm. (quite literally) It performed very well! It has identical handling characteristics to the mk6 Golf. As others have said, it strongly depends on the tires.
I get 37mpg city in my tdi, and the best mileage I ever got on my rabbit (2.5 mkv) was 32mpg with 15's and ultra low rolling resistance tires.
I've had several cars of the $150 variety. The best was a 1990 VW Fox that I bought for $150 from the original owner. I then proceeded to drive it about 150K before I spent another cent on it besides oil tires and gas.
i luv cheap tires... im on my 3rd season on my wanli's
i just bought a set of these this past fall. havent had a chance to drive them yet though. real cheap and they seem to be very beefy and the sidewalls are super sturdy. low tread wear also. Wanli s-1099 215/40/17
My friends were sponsored by "WANLI" for drifting back in 2008 or so. They worked great! Super hard and long lasting! I could go through multiple drift events with my non turbo KA engine in my 240 sx. OMG terrible tires for driving on the street though!
My last vw, jetta, the rears always got scalloped eventually, even with rotations...now on the CC, just had the tires again rotated with the 30k service and the noise from the front is annoying as hell...that droning reverbish kind of sound.
Went with $99 Wanli Chinese tires for immediate use. Thought how bad can it be just one day on these cheap tires.... WRONG! Wanli S-something bunch of random numbers touring tire: - Terrible road noise. A constant droning HUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR :banghead: - Fall apart while turning, car literally felt as if wandering side to side. - For brand new tires they broke traction easily on acceleration. Very poor grip. - Zero feel, I mean the GTI isn't grounded to the ground to start with but this rubber killed off any feel for what the wheels were doing.
