Tires Hifly or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
Bought my 2019 with 17 miles on it. 6 speed, no sunroof.
Have close to 48k on it now, I’ve replaced the tires and the battery. Done my yearly maintenance, and I just had the 50k service done on it. No issues to report. Been extremely reliable, I only drive it 6-8k a year.
Pros: extremely reliable, no issues
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Have had hifly something on my old Toyota blade, they were perfectly fine for typical town driving / open road.
Pros: fine for town driving
Vehicle:
Toyota Blade
Haven't done a super long road trip in my MK8.5 - but have done a few 200mi trips. The car absolutely eats up the miles. Seats are super comfortable, cabin noise is tolerable, and I averaged 34MPG both ways cruising between 72 and 80. I personally despise adaptative cruise control, so I immediately turned it off (aggressive Boston traffic makes it unbearable). I did keep the lane assist on which is fine, not as good as the lane keep in my Raptor, but works very well. I'm more than happy with the ride, and once I get on to some smooth pavement, the 200 treadwear tires really quiet down.
Pros: seats super comfortable
Cons: lane assist not great
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I've had good results with hifly across car, 4x4 and heavily loaded trailers.
Pros: good results
I have since tuned my GTI and installed summer tires, it has only further cemented my decision. Now the car pulls harder but you still have to work with the car to put the power to ground.
Pros: car pulls harder
Cons: work with the car
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Hiflys will be fine
I sell a fair bit of them, only complaint I get from customers is they get a little noisey toward the end of their life. But they do their job and do them well enough
Pros: do their job
Cons: get a little noisey
I know that I went through my first set of rears rather quickly on my VW ID3.
Cons: rears wore quickly
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mine came with 19” Montevideo which have been turned into dedicated winter setup, I upgraded to 20’s. The ride isn’t horrible tbh but it is worse, but you will for ever have that feeling of butthole pucker up lol every time you slightly even see a pothole.
Pros: 20's look better
Cons: ride isn't horrible
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Two things:
1. That is a straight MOT failure because it's dangerous.
2. Your choice is to replace the tyre today, or the wheel **and** the tyre tomorrow.
Cons: straight MOT failure
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
The gti tired are crap
Cons: poor quality
