Tires Continental or Goodyear
I just switched from the Michelin Pilot Sport AS4s to the Continental DWS06 Plus. I've put about 300 miles on the Continentals. The ride on the Continentals is noticeably smoother and quieter comparted to the Michelins.
Continental Extreme Contacts DWS plus 06 EXCEL in wet performance...It's ones I've probably had over 10 sets of 4 on different VW's over the decades, 17+ VW lots of miles, lots of driving previously. Current 2019 Golf rrrrrr is Conti Extreme DWS, superb stuff.
Continental truecontact tour. There's a newer version but as I understand it it's essentially the same tire. Much better handling in the rain. They were slightly noisy at first but I don't notice it anymore, that was probably just from the breakin period.
I swapped wheels for 16's and I think my fuel efficiency overall is about the same as before. City fuel economy may be slightly better because of lower wheel weight, highway economy slightly worse due to drag from less aero rims. But I'm not sure if there's really any difference.
Goodyear assurance comfort drive.
Love’m!
I went off the menu. Got some 225/50/17 goodyear assurance maxlife "non weather ready's". Its like glue now. They are LRR and 85k rated tires. And since they are not weather ready, they have better wet and dont get as angry as the wear vs the more agressive weather ready's. So far i have noticed a well under 10% range loss. My 80% limit went from an est 205 to and est 197 after 2 weeks of driving in about the same weather.
Continental CrossContact LX25 (I bought these) offered good snow/ice and wet performance.
Na avtu sem dobil continental celoletne pa so mi goodyearke boljse, so bile pa tud tiste dobre (drugih nisem probal, sta pa ti dve konstantno najboljsi na testih).
Imam goodyear celoletne neke vektor3 al kaj so... furam po snegu, ledu, blatu in asfaltu in makedamu... me še ni odneslo, pa ko pri nas zapade sneg ga je kr dost na cesti in ko grem na šiht grem v polno ponavadi, do šihta mam cca. 60 km.. zdržale 3 leta, profila je bilo še mogoče za pol leta, ratale malo trde in je začelo drset.
The Goodyear eagle touring is a decent midrange tire. I had them for a while, no complaints other than a bit of road noise.
I got these when they first came out. Worst tires I ever had. They wear out super prematurely on the inside edge due to their “rounded” shape. I only got about 22,000 miles out of them, the OEM Continentals got over 50k before those, and then 40k after before I sold the car. Alignment was good the whole time. Driving style was conservative. These tires also had zero difference in range or performance. In fact I thing the handling was even worse. The road noise was only slightly quieter.
