Tires Toyo or OEM Volkswagen
Toyo AT3s are the best in my opinion. 15,000 miles in with max tread and no road noise.
I got 90k miles out of my AT2's. Just put AT3's on a year ago hope they are as good as the AT2's were!
I have been very happy with mine this winter. I think about as good on ice as I can get without a dedicated winter tire.
I run them on my 110, they are a commercial tyre and about the only thing that holds up to sharp rock and chip. They get a bit loud after the first 20 000kms admittedly a lot of local retailers wanted to sell me them at the same price as their other offerings shopped around and got them about 20% cheaper.
Not as good on the sand as a highway tyres although as an all rounder pretty good IMO. I think mine have around 50 000kms and still plenty of life left.
Love my 35 Toyo AT3s! Congrats.
This is a great choice if you are looking to upgrade your performance on a stock Rubicon or Mojave, but don’t want to change the ride or incur the extra costs of a lift and rims. These are true 35 inch tires not metric. I picked up 1.25 inch In clearance over the stock Falken MT that came with it. You can get them in a 35x11.5x17 so they fit the stock rims. Ride is excellent and noticeably quieter than the MTs. These are a cross between AT2 and the MT. Still gives you great off-road performance as well.
If you can fork out a little extra, Toyo Proxes A/S sports. Amazing tire in both wet and dry conditions. They’re made to be used on “sportier” drives.
I recently purchased a set of 4 Toyo Celsius 2 tires for my 2019 Kia Optima. After living with them for a couple of days, they're good but they have a couple of weird quirks.
Pros: Pretty quiet, great snow/ice traction, soaks up bumps great.
Cons: The compound feels unnervingly soft, to the point it feels like it's running on low pressure (it's not). As a result, I feel like dry handling takes a big hit. I can't speak much for MPG but because of how soft the tires are, there seems to be a lot of rolling resistance.
I can't input on the stretch, I am running the proxes 4 , I'm running a 19x8.5 with a 215-35 so my stretch is not close to what yours will be but I can tell you these tires are super loud with tons of road noise.
I just got my first experience on the Toyos this morning in some snow here in Virginia. The Toyos were really pretty awful :-(. They're fine for getting going and driving around - in fact, even starting off a hill was really no issue, but God help you if you have to stop quickly...because they wont. It was a slide-fest even with just a thin layer of snow.
