Tires Continental or BFGoodrich
I have ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus by Continental. They are quiet, smooth, and amazing in the rain. Really happy with them.
10x better than the continentals in snow.
I got new tires for my mk7 Jetta gli yesterday at Discount Tires. Continental dws06plus, 225/45/18, or whatever stock size is. Great tires. Holy cow, these tires make the car drive that much better.
My favorite tire for the typical forester/outback suburb crowd I see at work is still the Continental contiprocontact series. Decent wear, decent performance, easy to install, easy to patch, balance is usually good.
I've always had good performance out of Conti GPs. I've tried other brands but keep coming back to them.
Get urself some 33" BFG KO2s. You won't regret it
I wanted to post my thoughts after a first winter drive with these Contis. They are stock 19" tires on my R and came with the vehicle. The VikingContact 7s have been more than excellent. Compared to the Conti TS830s, I definitely do not feel like I am at times running a summer tire in the winter. For this winter I feel completely confident in bad conditions like the X Ice 3 was. However, the HUGE plus is on dry conditions which happens a lot during winter here. I always felt the slight sponginess of the X Ice 3 (18s would have made a difference for sure), but these VikingContact 7s in dry are spectacular. They truly do everything in winter extremely well, and I would never think of buying another tire again...they are that good.
Just swapped out my stock 32s for GP5000 28s and it’s noticeably faster.
Not a fan of the OEM Continentals on my 2019 here in Western PA. Will switch to Vredesteins Quatrac Pro. I was pleased with them on the Tiguan and the wife\u2019s Volvo in winter driving and all around.
I tried k02s (c rated) and took them off a day later. The t4r is a slug on stock tires, and I really felt the added weight and ride were horrible. I went to nitto terra grappler g2s I’m stock size SL..gave me the AT look I was going for without adding unnecessary weight and ride characteristics.
