Tires Continental or BFGoodrich
Between those two, I’d go with the Continental PremiumContact 7 the wet grip and steering feel are noticeably better, and on an Audi with 18s you’ll actually feel that extra precision in summer driving. Yeah, they’re a bit louder than the Pirelli P7C2, but the performance tradeoff is worth it.
the comfort quiet vibe of the Toyo Proxes but want to try something different in the same price range, the Continental TrueContact Tour is honestly one of the best upgrades you can make for a Golf 4 TDI. It rides smoother than the Toyos, has way better wet grip (big deal for lighter hatchbacks), and the tread life is noticeably longer.
I just replaced all 5 on my Forester, BF Goodrich All Terrains, for AU $1250, so about US $840 at Costco.
BF Goodrich KO3 AT , I have those now and road sound is barely there, compared to my previous tires , which were Toyo Open country trail rt. Grip is really good, They are wet and snow rated , so they do really well on those conditions but overall, are great.
Continental Viking Contact 8 is leading the reviews this year. Having recently run Blizzaks amd R5's I can say they are my favoueite, just because they aren't a squirrely nightmare when it warms up (Blizzaks) and I can't draw many differences to the R5's, except for the massive difference in cost.
Uk here but up in the hills so get more snow than most. My goto is continental wintercontacts. Currently on ts870 on my My2000 jaguar xj8 4.0 sovereign
FWIW I have the E version of the KO3’s on both my Tacoma and 4Runner. You won’t regret going with them. I live in Maine and so far they’ve handled back country roads, rain, snow, and pavement like a champ.
Just drove through a massive storm in Lake Tahoe, CA (specifically Highway 88). I slapped a set of BFG Trail-Terrain T/A 3PMSF onto my 2019 Tacoma TRD Off-Road and they charged with great grip.
the continentals I have on my Mazda are cheaper than that, those tires better have gold on them
My experience with Continental Tire...I loved them. My wife loved them. Right up to the point that the second set tried to do us in. Driving home to the SF Bay Area from So. Cal on a hot summer day. Right rear tire fails suddenly and catastrophically with 2/3rds of the tread separating from the carcass.
