Tires Toyo or OEM Volkswagen
I like my Toyo AT3s. Just went to Pennsylvania for a project and they handled the snow and ice pretty well. It felt like I was driving in the rain with them but they had enough bite to slow me down and keep me in control on all the hills and inclined roads over there.
I got some Toyo Extensa HP II’s for the summer/fall/spring from the former, delivered to my doorstep. I then got the Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 at Costco and got them installed at location. I’m pretty happy with both tires.
second winter with my mk8 as well over on the east coast. the frequent issue I run into is my front assist being unavailable from snow / ice. Otherwise I find it very smooth in the winter, I almost prefer winter driving as opposed to spring-fall. my car drives better on my 17" winters than my 19" oem wheels.
What tires do you have? Factory All Terrain tires (and all AT tires) make more noise. The factory AT tires have been known to drone more when the mileage is higher. Rotating your tires can help for a while.
Bought Toyo Celsius 2 and they are amazing. Quiet, handles well on snow and 60,000 miles.
The best dedicated High-Performance Snows I ever had were Toyo Observe Garit KX in 225-50-17 on my old MK VI R. The colder it got, the better they gripped.
If I'm reading this date code correctly, these Toyos are approaching 6 years old. This makes sense as they are pretty noisy, could stand to be grippier and the rubber just does not feel very pliable. So I need to ditch these for some new all-seasons.
I like the Toyo T1R , but damn it's an oooold design now...toyo really need to update it.
Those Toyo tires are so old, they don't even exist anymore.
Sunt un cacat btw, nu va luati.
