Uy the toyo I tried some off brand at tires some black lions. They made it about 5-7k miles and we're wore out I go the toyo at for like 30$ more a tire and they lasted me like 35k miles
I’ve owned a lot of VWs, and this is the only one that has not consumed any oil from the very beginning. I’ve actually joked that I’m concerned about that. I kept my previous 2016 GTI until I bought this car last year - 212K miles and it consumed about a quart and a half between 5K interval changes, ever since new. In fact all of my VWs have consumed something since new and that amount never really changed, so I do believe it is most likely build tolerances and luck of the draw. That said, I wouldn’t hesitate to drive a car that consumed a reasonable amount these days and I consider that normal. Build quality has been better than I expected for a car in this price range. Comfort is very good, but it’s not what I would call sporty in any way (coming from a GTI). some people complain about the lag on acceleration but I believe that is the transmission programming and there are ways you can drive it that minimize that. I think the Nexen tires are decent enough and they seem to wearing well.
I have about a year on mine and to me they feel ultra quiet after driving around on the stock Toyos for the first 30k miles… and the ride is really smooth and responsive in hard rain (SoCal)
I have them on my CX-5 and I love them, much better ride than the shitty Toyos -- but they are definitely a bit louder.
They are a touch louder than the stock toyos on my cx5 but the performance easily makes it worth it to me
I have the nexens on my golf R and they are perfectly serviceable winter tires. Would buy them again no problem
We ran those Nexens for a few years on a Ford Focus RS AWD in winter and it's a solid tire... The Michelin is a better tire especially on ice, but for $150 less I would take the Nexens again. This is in ND, so winters can get pretty extreme and they perform well.
Very good off-road tire.
And like all MT’s, not the greatest on-road.
And definitely not great in ice or snow.
On the gen 3 they lasted until 30k miles, on the gen 4, both cars made it to 25k before replacement was needed. They aren't the best.
My patience ran out around 3000 miles. I hated how vague they felt in the rain, and I was not interested in waiting until winter to see how much worse they’d be on snow and ice.
