Tires OEM Mazda or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
These tires were just taken off a two-week old 2022 Volkswagen GTI. The tires were driven lightly during break-in period before dismounting with only 315 miles on them. They are in as-new condition.
Pros: as-new condition
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 507 km
Overall the I found the GTI was very impressive at a track that doesn't cater to FWD and with terrible 560tw all seasons.
Pros: very impressive
Cons: terrible all seasons
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I did get new wheels and tires and couldn\u2019t be happier. The 205/55s are a better choice for general use, being much quieter overall and considerably less harsh on city streets, while keeping very solid highway performance.
Pros: quieter, less harsh
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
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.
Pros: 18 inch best ride
Cons: 20 inch worst ride
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
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.
Pros: no issues using go-pedal
Cons: horrid in the winter
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Tires make more difference than anything. I too bought at used Mazda 3, and thought: "Oooh, this is dodgy in the rain . . ."
Then I got better tires (summers and winters) and realized: "Ohhh, I just had terrible tires."
Pros: better tires, improved handling
Cons: terrible tires, dodgy handling
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
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.
Pros: performed very well
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
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.
Pros: tires, brakes replaced
Cons: electrical problems
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
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.
Cons: noise from the front
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 30000 km
stock tires are garbage awd turbo here. New tires bring it alive much better confidence in the hard corners and way better in the wet
Pros: better confidence, better in wet
Cons: stock tires are garbage
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
