Tires YOKOHAMA or Continental
275/70R18 Yokohama Geolandar A/T4 on 18" OEM Trailhunter wheels with +20mm offset. I was worried they would rub on my stock SR5 because the Yokohama spec sheet says the overall inflated diameter is 33.5" but no issues! Louder than the OEM Falkens on the road, but 10x better.
I ride the GP 4 Season 700x28 in urban Memphis, TN, US with tons of glass, potholes, and debris. I find them to be the "sweet spot" balance of puncture/rolling resistance. They don't feel quite as quick as GP5000s to me but far far better than gatorskins, or armadillos, or other "tough" tires.
Yeah, no problems, not a single puncture with the GP5000. In contrast, I recently tried Conti RIDE tour and ooh myy good, the traction is garbage compared to the GP5000. Instantly bought other tires.
The Continental DWS06 is a huge step up for daily use and they hook noticeably better, but they’re still an all-season, so don’t expect drag-radial levels of grip you’ll still chirp a bit if you launch hard.
I have the DWS06+ on my 24 PP, world of a difference versus the perelli summers that came stock. Truly felt like I would die on those things sometimes
Yokohama advan sports. If you can find them trust me
If you just want the best real-world pick for a Golf in 205/55R16, skip the test charts and go straight for the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 it consistently lands top-3 across every test because it nails wet grip, winter traction, and tread life without the noise/harshness of CrossClimate.
Continental tires by chance?
Dws are loud. If you value comfort go for some touring tires
DWS all day I switched this time around and regretted. I’m going back after 15k miles.
