vs
Tires WEST LAKE or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
I have a MK6 and it handles great on snow with winter tires.
Pros: handles great on snow
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Westlake makes pretty affordable tires that should be within your budget. They perform decently well but dont last as long as a standard tire from my experience. I believe I got approximately 25k miles out of them
Pros: affordable tires, decent performance
Cons: dont last as long
Vehicle:
Kia Sportage
Mileage: 40233 km
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.
Pros: very smooth in winter
Cons: front assist unavailable
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf

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.
Cons: straight MOT failure
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
