Tires Toyo or Goodyear
Goodyear Eagle Sport A/S. Good grip dry and wet, even handled surprise snow on the way to Vegas a few years ago. Got about 45,000 miles out of them too.
The Mk 8 came with some Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersports and so far I am liking them a lot. They feel very similar to the PS4S, however I doubt they will last as long.
I'm running Toyo tires Proxes ST3. Such a much smoother ride than the stocks. Super grippy as well. Wet performance is also great.
Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady. Best bang for buck, high quality, last between 45k and 60k miles depending on driving type.
I recommend Toyo tires, Bridgestone and Michelin. We usually go with toyo but all of the 3 have served us well
I daily Goodyear mtr tires. Recently drove a 700 mile trip on them. You will hear them, but they aren't that bad. They perform pretty well on road, about the same as the duratracs I had before.
I ended up getting the Toyo Open Country ATIII tires as recommended by some of the posters below, and my tire shop! These seem to last longer than some of other options I was looking at, and don't need rotation as frequently. They're also rated as all-season tires, which is a nice plus for New England.
So far I've driven them offroad quite a bit in VT on the NE BDR, some trails in NH, and out on the beach at the Cape Cod National seashore. They've handled it all very well.
As far as road manners go, they are nice and quiet, but of course they are a slightly louder than highway tires. nothing obnoxious. They've also done just fine with grip on wet asphalt, and are fine on dry asphalt as well. I don't think they are as responsive as the HT tires were for steering on the road, but they track nice and straight.
Good tires, good in wintery conditions, but noisy and pricey.
rather snot-slick. They slip in conditions my baby shoes never did. Overall, they are nice and quiet, but their traction is nowhere near as good as it seems it should be.
In my experience, not a huge fan, on pavement I felt they were loud and squirrelly and wear out pretty wonky.
