Better tires like my Goodyear Eagle Gts have features like side walls to protect my rims from curb rash.
These tires are AMAZING! I still run a set on my R32.
I run 225/60/16 Goodyear Ultragrip Ice tires, and I have to say that the Eurovan is extremely capable in heavy snow with these tires.
I got two Goodyear Allegra FuelMax tires for the front of my Jetta before driving to Vancouver and they handled superbly in the rain we encountered every day on the road! I like to drive enthusiastically and they kept up just fine.
Goodyear Eagle GT should be quieter than the Contis for what its worth
The new Goodyear 245's I got are killer.
These were my all around favorite tire as well, and I had them on my B5 Passat back from '03-05. Best tires I've driven on yet. Only other tire that compared to the grip was a set of Bridgeston Re040's on my '06 GLI and my mother's '04 BMW 530i.
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.
Reviews for that tire at TireRack aren't exactly stellar. Great tire in the rain, in fact VERY high traction in wet conditions. Almost to the point that it's a technological marvel. But...it gives up so much in the dry that it feels like a sloppy truck truck tire with 10psi. It corners terribly in the dry, the steering response is horrible and wanders all over the road.
I drove a set of Triangle Talon tires for a year on my SVT. Dry traction was surprisingly not terrible but they were AWFUL in the slightest hint of wet weather. Forget cold weather.
