MICHELIN › Tires

Rating 5.0

Grip:
Noise:

I use Michelin 235 40 18 4S on my MK7 with Neuspeed RSe12 8"x18" and the grip is a tick better than the standard size. This combo is also lighter than the stock wheels and tires...and along with the suspension modifications, it's a difficult subject to try to quantify. I am always concerned with wheel and tire weight...that drives my decision making...if you like the look of a 19" rim, go for it. I think that you will find a larger variable between tire types and widths where ultimate grip is concerned...steering response is in theory better with a lower profile tire, but sidewall construction will also affect steering response with a similar tire size range.

Pros: better grip, lighter combo

In my opinion the named brandes like continental, Michelin, good year are good but over priced. I Mostly run SAVA, dont know if you know the brand but they are Quite good for the price. I run them on Volkswagen golf 4 (195/16/55) and on Volkswagen passat (225/17/xx)

Pros: quite good for price

Cons: over priced

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

I had ExtremeContacts on my golf and loved them except they didn’t last as long as I expected. Then I got Pilot Sport 4s since they were on sale at the same price as the contis. they’re a bit louder but a bit grippier.

Pros: grippier, good price

Cons: didn’t last long, louder

Noise:

I stopped using continentals when my last set of DWS sounded like a freight train down the road in my golf. I switched to Michelin crossclimate 2s and they have been a great all weather and quiet tire.

Pros: great all weather, quiet

Cons: continentals sounded like train

Grip:

I ran 3 sets of the FK510 on my Golf. They were really good as an all around tire. On the track, they were very grippy and didn't get greasy very easily.

Pros: very grippy, didn't get greasy

Cons: wore out quickly

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

BRIDGESTONE › Tires

Rating 5.0

Grip:

I mean one of the first things I did on my Golf R was.... better rubber and it really did transform the car.(FYI... highly recommend the newish Bridgestone Potenza Sports). I guess the other point is.. don't skimp on tires. Pay for what you get.

Pros: transform the car

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Grip:

Has anybody experienced dry rot with the factory Hankook Kinergy GT tires that came equipped with the 16" Torontos (In MY 2017 at least)? All four tires have these cracks along the outer channels. 16k miles, 8/32" tread depth remaining. 4 years old.

Cons: dry rot, cracks

Mileage: 25750 km
