Tires Nokia or OEM Volkswagen
Bought my 2019 with 17 miles on it. 6 speed, no sunroof.
Have close to 48k on it now, I’ve replaced the tires and the battery. Done my yearly maintenance, and I just had the 50k service done on it. No issues to report. Been extremely reliable, I only drive it 6-8k a year.
They have Nokian tires, which I find to be the best winters.
I personally use Nokian tires and they have worked well.
Nokian hakkapeliittas are great - my #1 pick. Blizzaks good to great and much cheaper. No complaints with the Blizzaks, but I just had the impression with the Hakkas that they were another level - really surprisingly good in the worst conditions.
I’m a fan of Nokian brand. Finland knows snow and it shows in their tires. I’ve been using them for years and love having dedicated snow tires. After I had been using them for about 5 years, I talked my wife into getting a set for her car. She was mad I hadn’t talked her into it sooner.
If you're commuting every day I'd for sure get the studded Hakkas.
All you need is good studded tires like Nokian and you will be fine.
I just bought Nokians for my S80, similar pattern. Certainly a great upgrade regardless!
I know that I went through my first set of rears rather quickly on my VW ID3.
I have less than 25K on these tires. The tread is greater than 8/32 and I thought the cracking was part of the tread pattern. Then I noticed the tire was starting to flake apart on the tread.
I just had them replaced. I paid $800 for these tires 3 years ago. When they were sold to me they were already 1 year old. I called Nokian and they helped me find a shop that would support the warranty. The shop I bought them from would not provide any warranty support at all. This is also the shop that convinced me Nokian are good tires. I wish I had known. So frustrated that I just spend another bucket of money after 25k miles.
