Tires BRIDGESTONE or OEM Volkswagen
I bought a set of CX90 19" wheels for my CX70 to put a set of 255/55/19 Bridgestone Blizzaks snow tires I got from Tire Rack for only $505 shipped!
The bridgestones The bridgestones are quieter and handle better in the in the dry they are still good in the wet but you can tell not quite to the cross climate level I see no real fuel penalty The acceleration in the snow is good and the braking's good with maybe a little less lateral traction than the michelins
My personal pick is the RE004, quiet ride, grippy compound in the dry and wet, reasonably priced, but wears a bit faster than eco tires. Worth it kasi mas tahimik ride. I also drive the same gen Vios. Naka ~13k kms ako before it needed replacing. Yun din pinalit ko ulit.
Tyre btr change good one. Save tens of dollars risk your life not worth it.
Last time changed bridgestone x2 $280
Since they're now legal in my class I'll probably give them a try later this season after my current Bridgestone RE-71RSs are done
Blizzacks are the best.
I went from the stock Primacy to Bridgestone Potenza sports (300tw) and the difference in grip is absolutely noticeable and worth it.
Potenza Sports have a really stiff side wall. They in turn produce a loudee road noise.
Probably would not recommend these tires after having them for a couple years on the S60 and about 15 months on our XC70... The XC70 just went in to the tire shop because we had some sidewall damage (accidental curb strike) with only about 11K miles on the tires. They measured tread depth and it seems they were about 70% gone.
My last set of Bridgestone Potenza tires lasted maybe 15k miles, but we’re totally bald on the inside by the 10k mark or less. Very dodgy in the rain to drive.
