I have a MK6 and it handles great on snow with winter tires.
I have the nitto terra grappler g3. Was significantly lighter than the ko3s I usually run.
I only run Nitto now. BFG let me\nDown a few too many times. That said, ridge grapplers are on two of my cruisers and the newer Terra g3 on the LX. Both perform great in heavy rain, on/off road, rock, mud, etc.
Nitto Ridge Grappler 285/45 R22
I have Nitto Nomad Grapplers on mine and really like them.
Rides much smoother than stock, less bumpy and not noisy at all.
I had a front wheel drive VW Golf GTI with an ECU tune. My front tires lasted about 25k km.
So I just put 285/60/20 nitto recon on my 22 tundra from stock tires. I don\u2019t me if it just me but I feel like there a lot of road noise from these tires.
Two things:
1. That is a straight MOT failure because it's dangerous.
2. Your choice is to replace the tyre today, or the wheel **and** the tyre tomorrow.
I changed my OEM Nitto Terra\u2019s that came on my Pro out last week for Baja Boss AT\u2019s after only 15K miles. They were scary dangerous on wet roads.
