Tires Goodyear or ADVAN
Earlier this year, I picked up some Goodyear Reliant All Seasons for my MK4 (2002) Jetta GLS and I’ve been VERY pleased with them for daily driver tires. They have an “H” speed rating, stick pretty well in the turns, and Walmart had them for a shockingly low $67 a piece! Best part? Made in USA!!
I saw good prices at ca tire for Goodyear winter command. They are pretty good tires.
Goodyear Duratrac, best off road and snow tire I ever had, and no obnoxious road noise.
I have Goodyear wrangler duratracs and I really like them. I drive on the highway and use it on some crappy skid roads. They work great in deep snow too.
Goodyear Duratracs are great in snow and are reasonably priced.
I just put the Walmart special (Goodyear Reliant 185/65/R15 for $88/ea) on my 2009 and I like them! It makes the road noise seem more quiet too!
I’m sticking with the Goodyear ones at Walmart for $88 each. I get 50+ mpg and the grip/control has been great in all weather conditions.
If your car feels like it’s bouncing/bobbing sideways (I’m guessing that’s what you mean by “bubbling”), it’s probably due to the softer material used on the winter tires. I’m running a set of Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady and they show the same behavior. The effect will less noticeable eventually as the tire passes the break-in period.
On my 1500, I didn’t even hit 27k before mine dry rot and had to be replaced. Thanks a-lot Goodyear…but I’d say yours are getting real close.
I was very upset that both tires needed replaced with only 20K miles and a year and a half.
