Tires Hankook or NITTO
Buy hankook, I switch from michelin and is the same, very good quality
Like mine, I’m running Nitto NT555 G2s, they have around a 30k mileage run. As opposed to Michelins Defender 2 which have an 80k mileage the compound on most daily tires should be a little harder, lasting longer.
Very pleased with the road noise and efficiency of the Hankook.
Ride is definitely quieter compared to my oems.
I am a Nito guy I love those tire I recommend the nitto ridge grappler very good highway tire but yet you still have some bite for off-road and overland
I put those tires on my R1T when it only had 15k and half the tread left, because the OEM are so damn noisy. I love them, completely. Much less noise, and a mild efficiency improvement.
Put 19" Hankook ION EVO AS on my 2024 performance last week, and so far, I'm a fan. Obviously not enough experience with them yet to have much of an opinion, though.
I have Nittos. They look cool, did great in the snow last year. Downright terrifying cornering in the rain.
I don't think they're overly noisy but don't think they're very grippy. I'm actively avoiding running the car in the rain from the hydroplaning posts and dismal Tire Rack ratings - which is kind of ridiculous.
My first time in the rain was the nail in the coffin it's straight up irresponsible that VW put those things on our cars. It's a shame but mine didn't last 1000mi before I got rid of them and that's only because I waited for a sale.
