Tires DEXTER or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
I have a MK6 and it handles great on snow with winter tires.
Pros: handles great on snow
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
second winter with my mk8 as well over on the east coast. the frequent issue I run into is my front assist being unavailable from snow / ice. Otherwise I find it very smooth in the winter, I almost prefer winter driving as opposed to spring-fall. my car drives better on my 17" winters than my 19" oem wheels.
Pros: very smooth in winter
Cons: front assist unavailable
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf

Pros: Alles top
Cons: Karkasse nicht Vorschein
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Phaeton
I bought a MK3 Jetta 2.0 gas just to get me through for a couple months after I crashed my 4Runner. It was one of my favorite cars. Decent power, handled great. Coldest a/c and hottest heat of any car I have ever owned. I put a good set of snow tires on it and it would go anywhere.
Pros: decent power, handled great
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
I always get the budget "Dextero" brand from WalMart, and I've been happy with them.
Pros: Happy with performance, good value
Vehicle:
Jeep Grand Cherokee
Bought my 2019 with 17 miles on it. 6 speed, no sunroof.
Have close to 48k on it now, I’ve replaced the tires and the battery. Done my yearly maintenance, and I just had the 50k service done on it. No issues to report. Been extremely reliable, I only drive it 6-8k a year.
Pros: extremely reliable, no issues
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf

Mileage: 25000 km

I always get the budget "Dextero" brand from WalMart for my personal vehicles, and they seem to last just fine. Sometimes I have to take them to a real tire shop for re-balance, but most of the time it's fine from the WalMart TLE.
Pros: good longevity
Cons: needs re-balancing
Two things:
1. That is a straight MOT failure because it's dangerous.
2. Your choice is to replace the tyre today, or the wheel **and** the tyre tomorrow.
Cons: straight MOT failure
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
