I'm running the stock 19"s on my Mk8 with Continental Vikings. So far I'm content.
Continental Vikingcontact 7 is by far my favorite for snow and ice mix (we get a lot of slush with ice under it here). also pretty quiet for a winter tire on dry roads.
I run Nokian Hakka RS5 on my GTI. Continental Viking contact 7 on our Golf wagon. Both are excellent.
Currently on Continental winter contact TS860 235 35 19, cannot say a word against them in light and heavy snow conditions.
Just got the Goodyear electric drive 2 tires that have a UTQG rating of 700 AA so I’m hoping they last a while
Took advice and bought 20" AS wheels and Goodyear Wrangler tires at the Richmond SC, and they realigned. Massive improvement.
Continental DWS 06+. They are an awesome all season tire.
I've found conti are good until 50% worn then they're like train tracks
I have two sets of these on a pair of 2013,2015 Ford Fusions. 225-50-17.
One tire got a sidewall bubble at a couple months old. Walmart refused to help because I didn't have them install the tires but I suspect they would have come up with other reasons like road hazard to avoid a warranty claim. I was able to talk to Goodyear and have one of their company stores inspect. The cause was a crack at the inner liner splice and air migration into the carcass. They refunded me my purchase price.
A tire on my other car had the same problem in almost the exact same spot also less than a year old. Same result.
Tires are currently 2-3 years old and they have weathering and sidewall cracking. (Parked outside in Michigan). Multiple tires are developing something that looks like a heat ring to varying degrees.
I put a driveway stone through a continental tire. Never again. They have lost something. Used to be a good tire. Not any more.
