Tires BRIDGESTONE or OEM Volkswagen
I’d go with Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultras. They are solid in all types of weather, quiet, and absorb bumps in the road very well. I have them on my cx9 and plan to put them on my wife’s cx50 when the time comes. I’ve been very impressed by them.
I run Pilot Sports on my 2015 6 GT, and they are noiseless. FAR better than original Bridgestones, and last well.
Great tires for the price. I have them on my own car better performance in the Stock Bridgestone great dry and wet handling low noise and appears to be wearing well. Performances just below top tier for a low mid-tier price.
can’t say enough about Bridgestone RE71RS.
blizzaks are the best in my eyes. have also used michelin x-ice, pretty similar results.
Bought the Blizzak WS90 a couple weeks ago from my Volkswagen dealer as part of the "Buy 3, get 4th for $1" promotion they had in October. They were cheaper than anyone else for the tires even before they threw in the 4th one for $1, so total price for the tires mounted and balanced was $726.
I've put Blizzaks on all of my vehicles, including my '24 Kona. They are fantastic studless snow tires.
Arivo feels like it would wear out in about a year of good use. My last bridgestone got to around 38k km (5years ++) of use. Im currently using bridgestone ecopia and personally i have no qualms with it
The ecopias are garbage.
Ran the blizzaks through 4-6 inches of snow and was barely making it through that. I never had less confidence in the snow than on those WS80 blizzaks. They were almost worse than the Sotozorro 3’s I had on my R two winters ago. Those I’ll excuse those because they were at least OK in the dry, otherwise they were pretty terrible in anything but light snow.
