EBC Brake pads
plova25
Rating 4.5
  • Braking:
  • Dust:

I replaced mine a few years ago with new rotors from Zimmerman since it was the third change and I have been very happy with them. The stopping distance seems to be a bit better and more responsive. Also, they produce much less dust than the OEM VW pads and I believe have Kevlar mixed in the compound.

Pros: better stopping distance, responsive
Cons: rotors needed replacement
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 32186 km

APR Tires

I'm currently running the DWS06 tires on my APR Stage 2 Mk7. I've put several thousand miles on them already and so far I like them. Definitely better than the terrible stock Pirellis that came with the car. In dry conditions, they grip quite well (obviously not as well as summer tires) for all seasons.

Pros: grip quite well
Cons: traction loss on gas

Pirelli Tires

Rating 4.5
  • Grip:
  • Noise:
  • Ride comfort:

Had the OEM Bridgestones until ~28k miles. They were ok, squirrly in wet especially as they aged, not great in snow. Replaced with Continental PureContact w/EcoPlus. Had them until about 70k miles. Great tires, handled everything better than OEM and one of the best wet tires I have ever owned. Good in snow and a solid dry handler as well. Still had 5/32 but decided to get rid of them now and get use out of a new set through the winter and for the next 2 years of ownership until I plan on parting ways with the car. Now have had the Pirelli Cinturato P7 for a few months and 4k miles. I would rate them more or less equal with the PureContacts when they were new but I would give a slight edge to the PureContacts all around, they seemed slightly more sporty while not giving up much up in ride quality. They are both quiet and good performance grand touring tires that fit the character of the stock Passat very well. Very similar tires with the P7 having what seems to me to be a slightly softer sidewall compared to the 2 previous tires where those did not show any squatting in the sidewall around 32-34 psi. If I was to do it again I would buy the Continental PureContacts. I just liked them a little more than the Pirellis but you really can't go wrong with either. I am certainly not upset I tried the P7s and still think it is a nice tire.

Pros: great wet tires, good snow
Cons: slightly softer sidewall
Mileage: 4000 km

BFGoodrich Tires

I recently went through this with my 2012 Passat with 18s on it. I decided to try something different. I did the BF Goodrich Comp 2 A/S tires. Very reasonably priced, Z rated, and has extremely good ratings for dry, wet and snow. So far I am very pleased.

Pros: good ratings for dry, wet, snow

WAGNER Brake pads
jjvincent
Rating 4.0
  • Braking:
  • Dust:

I now use the Wagner pads the I can get through Advance. Last set went 60K and I just replaced them before the state inspection in October. Technically they would have passed but I just changed them out just so I didn't have to worry about it for a while. For $60 for an axle set, I can't complain. Cost way less, last much longer, easy on the rotors and don't dust the hell out of the wheels. They take a bit more brake pedal pressure but that is OK because it actually helps on brake modulation.

Pros: Cost way less, last longer
Cons: more brake pedal pressure
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 96560 km

Continental Tires

I had the previous generation Extreme Contact DWS tires on my previous car and liked them very much. I thought they were pretty good in the snow, especially for a high performance tire. The OEM Conti's on my Passat (it turns out) were good too...handled ok, wore well, but were getting a little noisy.

Pros: good in the snow
Cons: getting a little noisy

Bosch Wiper blades
Ween
Rating 1.0
  • Wipe quality:
  • Streaks/chatter:

I put Bosch Icons on both my Tig and MINI and am not pleased with them on either vehicle. Multiple, thin streaks arc'ing across the full length of wiper swing in simple rain/mist is unacceptable for the price you pay for them...

Cons: multiple thin streaks
