Tires BRIDGESTONE or OEM Volkswagen
There are now 3 choices of 21, I just got the Bridgestones, and they are night and day better than stock Pirellis. And way cheaper. But these tires changed the whole feel of my R1S.
If you want the best snow tires get blizzacks they are by far the best out there.
Ws 90s are nice
Everyone has their own favorite brand. I've only ever driven Honda cars and over the years I've had General Altimax Arctic, Michelin X-ice, and Bridgestone Blizzak. Of those my favorite are the Blizzak, but the difference between the brands are not that big.
Bridgestone Blizzaks have served our Outback well.
Highly recommend Blizzak WS90's
If you are a Costco member find the tires you want through them and then contact Discount Tire via chat and they will price match the Costco out the door price. I bought a set of Bridgestone tires for my F250 and it saved me a couple of hundred dollars.
My R came from the factory with the Bridgestone Potenza S005s. They're decent for daily driving—good grip in the dry and pretty quiet—but they’re not amazing in the wet.
Other than the lack of traction on wet or icy pavement and the incredibly fast wear on the front tires, I cannot complain about getting worse fuel economy or road noise.
