I'm running the stock 19"s on my Mk8 with Continental Vikings. So far I'm content.
Owner reviews for tires
Continental Vikingcontact 7 is by far my favorite for snow and ice mix (we get a lot of slush with ice under it here). also pretty quiet for a winter tire on dry roads.
Imam ih na 2 auta, jedan 407sw, na njemu treca godina, presao oko 15k sa njima. Lepo prijanjaju na mokar i hladan asfalt, nemam osecaj nesugurnosti ni na vecim brzinama.
Odlicna guma Laufenn,pripada Hankoku kao pod brend,neces pogresiti ni sa Ling Long gumama.
They are more quiet than my original continental tires and 150 less per tire, with better specs than original
I run Nokian Hakka RS5 on my GTI. Continental Viking contact 7 on our Golf wagon. Both are excellent.
I love the Pirelli’s though, especially the Sottozero 2 on my 718. In the cold and dry, it doesn’t feel like you’re even giving that much up over the summer performance tires in summer, which is great.
Trenutno imam slučajno gor celoletne, Michelin, nisem neki ful navdušen, niso pa, bi reku, za v kanto in me ni strah vozit s tem.
Look out for shoulder cracks on the Falkens. Tread might look great, but the tread cleats will start to crack on the shoulders. Nothing you can do about it. Plan on replacing them around 25-30k miles.
Falkens don't last more than 30k miles.The rubber starts to break down after 16mo. Tread is fine, but they start to crack at the shoulder. Even if you rotate them like a good human, even if you park in a heated garage, even if you wash your car every week or two. Big box tire shop and the manufacturer won't so anything for you either. Happened to me and will NEVER buy them again.
