RIKEN › Tires

MK7_JSW 11 Apr 2018, 15:46

Rating 4.5

Grip:
Noise:

Speaking of cheap tires, I recently switched my tired old 41k mile Sumitomo ZIII with these $43 in 225/45 17 Riken raptor ZR and quite surprised how well they are. They grip as good as my ZIII did, way quieter and rain performance was fantastic. I was hesitant at first until I read reviews on tirerack phrasing these are great tires and they are definitely good. I also learned Riken is part of the Michelin tires company so its probably of decent build quality.

Pros: grip as good, way quieter

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Mileage: 65982 km

OEM Volkswagen › Mirrors

Rating 4.0

Adjustment:

I've done the following and confirmed that they seem to be working: Windows up/down with remote. Mirror dips in reverse and returns; returns a little high but that seems to be a known issue without the folding mirrors w/memory.

Pros: Windows up/down with remote

Cons: returns a little high

EBC › Brake pads

Rating 4.0

Braking:

I also upgraded brakes to Optimal brand e-cote rotors and EBC Red street/performance pads. A nice improvement in brake feel and the new rotors look better, but hardly necessary.

Pros: improved brake feel

Cons: hardly necessary

OEM Volkswagen › Battery

Cranking:

Just got off the phone with my dealer to check, just in case they had a different update. Turns out my VIN has a recall on the battery. He stated as long as it's under 3 yr/36k it's eligible for replacement. Something to do with the connection was the reason for recall. Needless to say I have an appt. next week for a free battery replacement. My 2016 is at 2 yr/22k. I've had no issues myself other than the time it died while I was fiddling around in VCDS in the garage with the light switch in Auto (clearly my fault) :banghead: Thanks for the free battery replacement VW :thumbup:

Pros: free battery replacement

Stalling:

My sister's fuel pump was causing poor mileage in her 2015 mk7 golf sel - it eventually failed and was replaced under warranty and the car now gets as advertised...

Pros: mileage as advertised

Cons: poor mileage

Osram › Headlights

Brightness:

The Osram headlights are better than “normal“ aftermarket ones, not as good as OEM Xenon, but still realy good. My buddy had for his MK6 aftermarket GTI Headlights, at night they were pretty bad, than he ordered the osram, and the difference is huge compared to the ****ty aftermarket crap.

Pros: better than aftermarket ones

Cons: not as good as OEM

Ride comfort:

Once Old Man Winter came knocking, I found a set of 18” Talladega take-offs from a ‘13 Golf R locally on Craigslist and fitted with Michelin Alpin PA4 (225/40/18). Dry and wet winter handling is fantastic - feels like spring or fall.

Pros: fantastic handling

Ride comfort:

I have the Michelin on my mk6 Golf R. I absolutely HATE them. Noisy when new an produce a vibration/buzzing sound that is maddening at highway speeds. The wear is so/so, but they are getting noisier with wear. Never again.

Cons: noisy, vibration/buzzing sound
