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.
Get some Blizzak's from Costco while they are on sale. They have been a huge upgrade on my Mazda.
I've been running Blizzaks for a few years now. Love them.
Go with the Kumhos from Tire Rack. I had really good experience with them
I am about to swap over to the Bridgestone Blizzak WS80s I bought last season. Very pleased with the wear and performance. My only complaint is that they are a little loud in wet weather. I ran General Altimax Arctic for six seasons and that was a great tire. Bang for the buck was superb.
I just put the Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS on my Alltrack (225/45/18) and I really like them.
I am running Blizzak WS80's. The Tiguan has a really good 4motion system in my opinion. Have driven this vehicle in some pretty harsh snow conditions in Upstate NY and Ontario. It has never let me down.
Bridgestone RE-71R alllll day for me.
i had the kumho asx in 18" first on my rabbit then transferred to my gti. with them being new on the rabbit, they were great in the dry and wet. after about 18k miles and transferred to the gti, they were great in the dry and wet until tuned. stage 1 was fine but with stage 2 the dry grip was just not there. right when you need traction the most from 4.5k to 6k in second gear the tires just spun. dry traction grip was improved after switching back to the goodyear eagle of the same size. also the road noise got loud as hell.
I have the Kumhos and I don't like them. They are quiet, and seem to last forever, to my chagrin. Personally, I'd rather trade a little tread life for more performance, but they might be what you are looking for. A word of warning, though: they break loose pretty easily when it's wet.
