Tires MRF or OEM Volkswagen
I test drove all 3 tire size when shopping the Arteon, don't be fooled, size does matter. As expected, 18 inch has the best ride and the 20 the worst. It was quite noticeable even on the short drive.
Apart from the stock all-season tires being abysmally horrid in the winter (I have another set of wheels with summer-only tires for warm weather), I haven't had any issues with my car and using the go-pedal.
Just drove my mk5 through a winter storm. (quite literally) It performed very well! It has identical handling characteristics to the mk6 Golf. As others have said, it strongly depends on the tires.
I get 37mpg city in my tdi, and the best mileage I ever got on my rabbit (2.5 mkv) was 32mpg with 15's and ultra low rolling resistance tires.
I've had several cars of the $150 variety. The best was a 1990 VW Fox that I bought for $150 from the original owner. I then proceeded to drive it about 150K before I spent another cent on it besides oil tires and gas.
I ha dto change my tires e-brake, e-brake lines, brakes rotors, rear subframe bushings and I have 8 codes on my car sayin I now have electicall problems.
My last vw, jetta, the rears always got scalloped eventually, even with rotations...now on the CC, just had the tires again rotated with the 30k service and the noise from the front is annoying as hell...that droning reverbish kind of sound.
Need to replace the front soon, I hate the Zappers the longevity is very good it lasts ages but the grip and breaking is pathetic.
I have beef with MRF, their compound is so hard it makes it seem like I am on roller skates in a wet skating ring when it’s raining.
Won’t buy MRFs though because they will absolutely get you killed if you push the bike a little bit more than average.
