These are good tires. I have 225/50/16's on my 2000 Passat GLS Wagon. I have about 8,000 miles so far - Wear is good, Grip is very good, Feel is good, Wet Grip is very good, breakaway has not happened so I can't comment on that. They do make some noise - if you listen you will start hearing the whine about 40-45 MPH, but it does not increase linearly from there, just kinda levels off. If you have your tunes playing you'll probably never hear them. My wife did not notice until I brought it to her attention. I had Dunlop SP8000 on for the first 38K and these tires are very good also. So far I like the FM901 just a little better, they are a little more firm on ride and feel through the steering and easily better in the wet. Turn in is more crisp with the SP8000's, but with the Passat Wagon the ratio is quite fast (probably for the lame stock tires) so I actually like the FM901's better. I can be more precise. I recommend them.
Pros: good wear, very good grip
Cons: make some noise

I had my k&n installed on my passat at 19k miles, i have had no problems but was warned when i purchased it to not put too much oil on it when you clean it as to not @!#@! up the MAF. I haven't noticed a performance gain with the K&N, however when the stock one was put back in i noticed how quiet my engine was when reving hard. I don't like it at all so im putting in another k&n(i like the noise)
Pros: no problems, preferred engine noise
Cons: no performance gain, requires careful oiling
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Mileage: 19000 km
I upgraded to Mintex redbox pads and ATE Powerdiscs on the car (Golf GL). After about 1/2 year, the pedal started vibrating - warped discs, I assume. Also, the brakes seem to lock up relatively easily.
Cons: pedal started vibrating, brakes lock easily
