my Yaris came with H-rated Goodyear Assurance FuelMax tires. They aren't terribly sporty but the handling is competent, they're very quiet, ride well, do well in the wet and -- despite my best efforts -- seem to be very slow wearing. The car also gets 3-4 more MPG than our '11 Yaris which has an identical powertrain but normal tires (horrible Bridgestone RE92s).
Just drove my mk5 through a winter storm. (quite literally) It performed very well! It has identical handling characteristics to the mk6 Golf. As others have said, it strongly depends on the tires.
Goodyear Eagle F1 Allseasons
They were the best summer tires I've had. They were the best winter tires I had.
Goodyear Eagle F1's I had them on my Volvo 850R and good good did they move water out of the way! great dry tire as well
We had Goodyear Assurance TripleTreds on our Outback - outstanding traction in rain and snow/slush.
I get 37mpg city in my tdi, and the best mileage I ever got on my rabbit (2.5 mkv) was 32mpg with 15's and ultra low rolling resistance tires.
Goodyear Eagle GT, 235/40-18 Rides rough, not too bad noise wise, handles great on dry and wet. Gives good feedback and confidence in corners. I've got about 19k miles on them now, they still have about 30 to 40% tread left. I'm an aggressive driver.
I have the GoodYear FuelMax on my Volt. Not the worst tires I've ever had, but not great. Very quick to break loose on a highway ramp.
Thanks Jason! I was wondering why my GY F1 255/35/19's were rubbing in the rear. After I went with the GY's it started, no rub with the factory Contis.
mine are very noisy at about 40kmh/25mph.
