No idea about prices and avaliability where you are but as far as winter tyres go I recommend Michelin and Nokian.
Michelin Pilot Sport all-seasons have been my chosen tire for the last year and a half, and I am really happy with them! Loads of grip, however because I opted for 225s, I hydroplane sometimes on standing water
Very early notice here but just got my VW back from the dealer. They put replacement LS2's on and road/force balanced. Test drove and had the steering wheel shake. Well, after reading it and finding the shakes still there with new LS2’s, they borrowed a set of Latitudes off another Touareg on site. No shakes.
Currently on PSSs. Phenomenal tire. Had PS2s on the 330 and they wore very well. Yes the rears were gone at 30K, but the fronts were still at 5/32s.
I have Michelin PA3 now and used them last winter. Not problems at all, they are definitely great on snow, ice, AND tarmac. They feel very very close to the stock AS and don't eat too much fuel economy.
I went with Michelin Xice Xi2 on 16" elbrus alloys from Tirerack, and the good ol' bi-yearly self-o change-o. Comfortable, safe, quiet... no complaints :thumbup:
these are excellent in all areas so far, road noise is non-existent, they're great in the rain, and sticky on dry pavement.
Got Kumho ECSTA 4X installed on my wagon almost 2 months ago. 235/40/18 95XL. They replaced the good year eagle GT's. About 2k miles on them now, they are quiet and softer riding then the good year, but doesn't grip as well on dry road. (i.e. with the good year, I could not get the front tires to spin from a dead stop even if I floor it, with the kumho, they spin for a fraction of a second before the 4motion kicks in) haven't had rain so don't know how they handle in wet. But they are definitely more comfortable than the good year.
I quite like a 50 series 13" tire on a rabbit personally.
To me 36 psi seems too low. The tires just sit too low. I run 40psi all around on my KUMHO ECSTA 711's.
