Tires Nexen or Goodyear
The new Goodyear WeatherReady 2 is one of the best rated all-weather tires this year.
The Nexens without a second thought... Those N'Fera SU1 tires are excellent tires and Nexen has arguably the best warranty in the tire industry.
I just got the weather active for my Tesla and they’re great. First tire that could make it up my driveway when it’s snowy. Plus they had the highest mileage warranty of all the low profiles at 60k
My Goodyears seem grippier than a buddy\u2019s GTI on PS4s, but I do think their wear is much higher, so probably not worth it over the Michelins. The Goodyears do have excellent rain and cool weather grip though, much more confidence inspiring than Hankook RS4
I chose the weatherready 2 over cross climates because they are similar with newer tech behind them and tire rack had a $300 rebate on them. So far they are doing great in the snow and ice. Much quieter than the oem tires it came with and comfortable.
I’ve owned a lot of VWs, and this is the only one that has not consumed any oil from the very beginning. I’ve actually joked that I’m concerned about that. I kept my previous 2016 GTI until I bought this car last year - 212K miles and it consumed about a quart and a half between 5K interval changes, ever since new. In fact all of my VWs have consumed something since new and that amount never really changed, so I do believe it is most likely build tolerances and luck of the draw. That said, I wouldn’t hesitate to drive a car that consumed a reasonable amount these days and I consider that normal. Build quality has been better than I expected for a car in this price range. Comfort is very good, but it’s not what I would call sporty in any way (coming from a GTI). some people complain about the lag on acceleration but I believe that is the transmission programming and there are ways you can drive it that minimize that. I think the Nexen tires are decent enough and they seem to wearing well.
I've been riding on the same set of Reliant for the last 3 years, and very satisfy with them.
I would take the RT45 over any Goodyear Assurance model, especially the Maxlife one which I hear people say has a LOT of road noise at highway speeds.
They’re near useless in mud, snow or ice. Mine still have plenty of tread left in them, and I’m still getting new tires installed on Friday, because they were already sketchy in the snow last winter.
I have the GY Wrangler A/T's on my 22 OR. I (personal opinion) can't stand Good Year tires. I've never had a pair worth a shit, ever. I'm just too cheap to dump 1k on tires when the ones I have still hold air. That's about all they are good for. Mine have terrible wet traction, especially when turning.
