These tires are nothing short of amazing, i've never felt my previous gti or my new one perform the way it does on these tires. I can't recommend them enough, they're really *that* good.
Contis are on the car now - awesome.
Mounted (4) Continental ExtremeContact DWS 225/40ZR18 = $587
Yeah, I think you can't beat the Continental Extreme Contact DWS in cold weather and heavy rain for the price, and they also last long, don't get hard or noisy, and hold up well also when it is 120F outside. I started on the third set in my Passat, very satisfied.
The new tires I bought for the Fit's OEM wheels are Hankook Ventus V4 ES. An initial test drive in the Fit was great - smooth, quiet, actually much better at soaking up bumps with these 205/50R16's than with my Yoko 185/70R14 snow tires, which surprised me.
I drive on Continental Extreme Contact DWS year round in a JSW. Great in rain, good in snow, and I off-road the car some and they handle that as well
Yes, Hankook Optimo H727. They are CR rated #1 (let the hate fly) and have great reviews on TR and DTD. I got a set for my Golf and I'm VERY happy with them.
For what it's worth I have a 2009 VR6 sport with over 70K miles and so far it has been pretty much bullet proof. I do most of my own maintenance so everything has been done properly and on time. The tires were replaced at 60k miles and there was still 4/32" tread left on the OEM 235/45/18 Conti's.
those look decent I have hancook snow tires myself but a different model. They are loud, ride quality sucks, I can spin the tires without trying (not a good thing) and I can't turn hard with them but they are great in the snow which is all that matters
It's the tires...... My car came with the Hankook's and they are noisy lil bastards....
