Tires MICHELIN or OEM Volkswagen
I got around 23k miles from my continentals. I switched to the Michelin defender AT tire and I'm going on 60k miles with tread left. Insignificant impact on range.
That's my recommendation having just swapped my 18" Michelins for winter prep with 4/32, 49,000 miles on them, balanced/aligned 2x in their lifespan (1 when I got it, they came with the car, 2 at 7,000 miles)
I run 27-29 cold on my 305 and 325 Michelins.
I have to recommend Michelin County Rocks. 26x1.75, smooth enough for paved roads just enough tread for some gravel. Cheap and durable.
Always go for Michelin if road noise is an important point for you.
Another vote for Alpins. I live in Colorado at 8000' elevation with over 300\" of snow...Avid skier etc and would never run anything else. The tire is so good in everything I literally run them all year round, carving canyons in July...rain every day in Oct/April...snowy commutes to the hospital in the middle of the night in Jan: no problem. It rocks in everything!
I think they're the best I use it for my 2009 Yamaha Zuma 125 love them
Just put one of these on the rear, very happy with it so far
Michelin are fantastic, but super loud, especially after 15k miles.
The Michelin tires weren’t a great choice if you were gunning for a podium at Indianapolis in 2005.
