The stock conti's are garbage and wear out in 6-8k miles. I replaced them with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4's and they've been great.
In Wisconsin on my 2019 Atlas sel premium v6 I use Winter Tires Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 245/60R18 on Atlas OEM rims.
Based on Tirerack reviews, I'm leaning towards the Continental Vikingcontact7 which I'll use from Thanksgiving until early March. Anyone tried these tires? If so, how would you rate them?
I am on my third different set of 19" M+S tires on my 2017 Golf R - and I am also a Tahoe area skier - first I had the Continental ExtremeContact DWS - they were good. Then I tried the Pirelli P Zero All Season Plus Revised Compound X -- they were better -- actually one time I went over Mt Rose in a white-out blizzard, on top of at least 2" of ice, and the Pirellis gave me great traction and handling.
FCP has a set of Bosch wipers for $23 (mk4). That includes both wipers and they’re different lengths.
Or you can get the Bosch Aerotwins as a set appropriate for your car off of Amazon.
Tdi Touareg (mid 2000s) battery fits, with posts recessed and in the right place. Dealer price used to be like $115 and they are solid 900cca performers.
On the topic of rear wipers has anyone else had issues with the OE blade? I had mine replaced under warranty because there was a big section not clearing water at 2k miles. The VW replacement blade wasn\u2019t much better now it\u2019s been a year and I just replaced it with a Bosch A383H which is a direct fit replacement. I\u2019ll have to wait for another good rain to test it.
I took a look at my breaks and noticed the exact same wear on passenger front. Have SEL-P 4Motion R-Line and only 1100 miles.
Now I have discovered something interesting. I have twice had to remove one of the Sachs shocks because the stop clip came out of the groove in the piston. I figured I must have overtightened the nut on top and pushed it off, so I only finger tightened it the second time. It slipped again. I looked at the clip groove on the Sachs piston and was shocked to see that instead of being square cut like the Bilstein, it was taper cut which obviously stupid. There is no way this clip is going to stay put unless I am able to modify the groove to give it a ledge for the clip to rest on.
