Only downside I can see is that now I can't give it the business merging in 2nd gear, as it will just blow through the tires (and I've already upgraded them to a Michelin Pilot Sport since I felt the factory Hankook rode very rough).
Owner reviews for tires
I agree, very quiet compared to my Bridgestone Ecopia 422 plus H, better traction wet and dry...better handling too. Expansion joint crossings are quieter than my Bridgestones as well.
I did just put these tires on my wife's 2016 jetta sport. They have 3k miles on them already in the past month and they are great. Quiet on the highway (though when you hit expansion joints it's kinda loud) ride good and handling/traction for wet, dry and the little bit of snow we got was pretty impressive too for an all season tire.
205-65-16 run fine on our Alltrack, no complaints and rides great even with studded Hakka 8.
Buy the Nokian! The best snow/ice/slush tire made! In Maine it\u2019s Nokian, Blizzak and then the X ice in that order. I run the R9 studded on both my dubs in 17\u201d. Work awesome
Thus far, I'm happy with the Falken tires in 205/60-16 that came on my car. I'm not shy to take turns at higher speeds than everyone around me and these aren't giving me much to complain about so far. I am surprised! Did well in a big rain fall.
Cooper Discoverer AT3 4s 235/65/17 I tried the same tire in 235/70/17 but they rubbed the spring perch up front. America\u2019s Tire has great Black Friday deals and they price matched any online store as well. The tire technicians were great with doing the test fitting as well.
I was going to need tires, and saw many positive reviews of the Firestone Firehawk Indy500, which were significantly cheaper than the Michelin Pilot Sports like I had on my old E36 M3.
The tread life on the Conti DW left me wanting too.
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.
