Tires NITTO or Goodyear
I looked up a review of the PS3's and found a comparison test between those, the Eagle's, the Continental asymmetrical all season and another tire. I was most interested in the PS3 but after reading the review/tests it seems the Eagle may suit my priorities better- the biggest being fuel consumption. Of the 4 the Eagle picked up an extra mile and change worth of MPG over the PS3. Both did well in the dry and wet handling trials.
Just last week I changed out my Stock Conti's @ 37,000 miles to Goodyear Eagle F1 AS. The tires are good and well made, but are a little more nosiy.
i run the same size 235/40/17 Nitto Nt01. Awesome, perfect fitment.
I've got a bit over 7000 miles on them and I have the same impressions. I really enjoy these tires. Quiet, sticky, great wet traction and dry. Very very happy with them.
I have these on my MKV R32 and love them. They are the best tires I have had on this car (previously Sumitomo HTR P01 A/S which were the LEAST durable tire ever and OEM stock dunlops) These are the most quiet, grippiest, most comfortable tires I have used.
Damn those stretch incredibly well compared to my Nitto's These are my 205/40/18 on an 8.5
my Yaris came with H-rated Goodyear Assurance FuelMax tires. They aren't terribly sporty but the handling is competent, they're very quiet, ride well, do well in the wet and -- despite my best efforts -- seem to be very slow wearing. The car also gets 3-4 more MPG than our '11 Yaris which has an identical powertrain but normal tires (horrible Bridgestone RE92s).
I have Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max, seem decent and capable in mild snow and slush. quiet too.
Goodyear.
Vw has used crappy American Goodyear Eagle LS-2 back on the mk4 and b6 passat days. So crappy VW issues a TSB for abnormal wear rates.
