Just ran RT660s. They're fast. They didn't grease out on me. I won't be looking back
I LOVE my Nokian WRG 4 tires. They are great in the winter (they have the snowflake symbol)and the best part is you can use them in the summer too.
I wouldn't settle for anything less than studded Nokians if you can afford it. They'll be hard to get this late in the year, but you likely already know that. I live in western NY though, so YMMV.
I went with Falken wildpeaks for my last 2 sets and have had great results (sold the first set with 45K miles with 10/32 tread left) and I still love my 2nd set.
I have a 2020 Cross Sport building into a suburban overland mall crawler. There's a minimal amount of model-specific aftermarket support. VWoA has parts available as part of their Basecamp product line (flares, valences, wheels, tires). A lot of the other stuff is just adaptable accessory add-ons. The biggest tire you can fit without lifting (and maybe even with) is a 265-70-17 (Falken Wildpeak AT3W shown), but you will need the SmithVW BFT blocks to pull in the fender liners. Mine still rubs on occasion but something about dubbing and rubbing. Wheels are fifteen52 Traverse MX 17x8 ET20 in Frosted Graphite.
+1 for hakka's ... they also have a all-weather tire, think snowtires you can drive year round ... I've had blizzaks, xice's, dunlops, sotto's, alpin's etc and sofar the Hakka's have been as good if not the best.
I bought Nokian Hakkapelitta R3s for my MKVI Golf R before last season. These replaced Nokian WRG3s. The R3s were a noticeable step up in grip in snowy conditions last winter on the Matterhorn 225/45/R17
If you looking for an economical, aggressive, all round good tire, you can’t beat the faulken wilpeak at3s. I have them currently and love them. When I was doing research 1 year ago Consumer reports also rated the faulkens one of the best all terrain tires.
The Falken Wildpeak A/T trails that I got late this spring have been great since. They're quiet and surprisingly efficient on the road, while delivering noticeably better grip on loose dirt, mud, and sand.
Had the Falkens on my 2017 GSWAT and at 22000 miles they are toast.
