Tires Pirelli or NITTO
I put over 40k on my p zero tires with the mk6, I know people dog then but I was glad to get them again with my mk7.
I also have the Pirelli Cinturato P7 on my wife's MK6 Jetta and I like them very much as well. They are just as quite and smooth as the Michelins on my CC.
I got the same tires on my 2-door mk7 GTI. I think the tires are great but they were vibrating on the freeway so i had the deal check the balance and two of them were slightly out of balance. Rebalanced and so far so good.
I have Pirelli's on our van and am much happier with them than I am with my Michelin's on my Golf. The Pirelli's are much much better in all conditions.
I like the nitto 555r but smallest they have is 245/50r16.. would that fit on a 16x7 rim?
Got supercorsas on my Daytona. Never ever lost grip and I've had knee toe and peg down. Amazingly sticky tyres
I notice some of the new GTIs at my dealer are coming with pirelli P7 tires vs the P zero. P7s are grand touring tires. I have them on my car and handle and ride great and theyll hopefully last longer than usual. Theyre cheaper than Mich. too. Ive bought cheap tires, mid range tires and expensive tires before and the P7s seem to be the best so far. Id recommend them. Plus, Ive purchased p zeros before and dont remember them being all that great. I am very happy with the p7 grand touring tire so far. very quiet and smooth.
i'm looking at a set of 9.5 in a 44et all the way around.. i have a 9.5 35et 245 on my rear now and i rub like crazy on bumps..
Mine came with Pirelli Cinturato P7s and I hate them. They spin, hop, don't like to change direction but they do hold air and they are quiet. To their credit, they did not get worse in the cold however they weren't any good in the snow or ice.
I had Pirelli Winter Carving Edge tires on my MK6 for four winters - they sucked!
