Tires Uniroyal or OEM Volkswagen
Just get some Uniroyal Rainsports, ime the best tyre for your money.
I have a MK6 and it handles great on snow with winter tires.
I use Uniroyal tiger paw ice from Canadian tire, it’s good so far nice grip
I run a taller/skinnier than stock Uniroyal Laredo AT in my truck and love them.
Uniroyal are good, affordable 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.
Ersatzrad drauf, zur Werkstatt fahren und einmal dr\u00fcberschauen lassen. Ist vermutlich zu nah am Rand, aber vielleicht macht dir das der Typ ja trotzdem fertig. Ich pers\u00f6nlich w\u00fcrde aber eher nen neuen Reifen kaufen.
I had a front wheel drive VW Golf GTI with an ECU tune. My front tires lasted about 25k km.
Also, Uniroyal has extremely soft rubber compound. All their tyres were very quickly.
Two things:
1. That is a straight MOT failure because it's dangerous.
2. Your choice is to replace the tyre today, or the wheel **and** the tyre tomorrow.
