Tires BFGoodrich or Goodyear
I recently went through this with my 2012 Passat with 18s on it. I decided to try something different. I did the BF Goodrich Comp 2 A/S tires. Very reasonably priced, Z rated, and has extremely good ratings for dry, wet and snow. So far I am very pleased.
R Wagon, studded 17" Good Year Ultra Grip Ice Arctic. I'll say no more..
I put on a set of Eagle Sport all-seasons about 10K miles ago and I like them. They grip well and road noise has been non-existent. But they do maintain their grip on wet roads.
I had Eagle F1s on my RSX after having a set of Nitto summer tires. I have to say, I loved them. Grippy, and handled minor inclimate weather way better than the Nittos.
I had Yoko yk580's on these wheels and when I changed to goodyear eagle f1 asymmetric all seasons (pretty light tires) that made a huge difference!!!
I am running Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric 2 on 2011 CC
That said, after picking the tire I thought would provide the best value I found the Goodyear Comfort Tread Touring was the same bottom line price locally because of a big rebate. Made in USA and may be the best tires I have ever owner.
Decided to go with GoodYear Assurance Comfortred Touring tires. Already put on 400 miles on them and I have no complaints yet. However... they ride better than the previous tires. The Comfortred sticks to the road and at high rate of speed (80mph) was a slight noise level to them but after riding on them, I do not hear any noise from them.
The summer comp 2 has been really good in the dry and excellent in the wet in terms of grip and ride, but they fall way short of the Conti DW and the even better Mich PSS in noise. These things sound like altimax winter tires.
Do it!!! I hate all the crap that my Eagle F1DSG3 spit up... god i hate those tires... if i didnt get em for free...
