Volkswagen Touran tdi Tyres

excellent tyres, great in cold wet conditions, very good in snow, possibly wear less well than summer tyres but still good overall value. Would definitely buy again. Much better in winter than summer tyres and ok in summer if you just want to run one set of tyres avoiding extra steel wheels, £10 per wheel per tyre change. I use on VW Touran so absolute performance not essential but allows you to drive past cars stuck in snow.

Once they were run in on my Touran, they were as quiet and more comfortable than 16inch Conti summer tyres. I don't drive hard, but they stay cool on motorway runs even at 13degC. They seemed fine on the limited amount of ice found, but I've not yet tried them on snow

I'm a driver for a living so covering 60000 miles a year, hopefully my reviews will help you guys in the future. I have used 4 sets of fronts tyres over the last year so my experiences are fresh. My type choices are based on finding a type that has a good life expectancy, good wet weather handling and hopefully a quiet design.

I bought these tyres based on professional reviews, and the excellent price offer by my local tyre centre. They perform well in all weather conditions, absolutely no problems in the wet, fine in the dry. These tyres are quiet and my car seemed a bit better on fuel, so I'm thinking the rolling resistance is fairly good.

The only negative I can say about the tyres is the life expectancy didn't meet my expectations.

All in all a good all round tyre which I could confidently recommend.

Fronts are around 3mm and the rears still have a plenty of wear remaining after around 15k miles. Tyres came OEM with brand new car. The fronts have worn out a lot in the last 5k miles. Dry grip is good but braking is dangeous when the car is fully loaded. The rear loses grip in the wet if cornering a little faster and fronts can too at roundabouts in wet conditions when the fronts are low. Over all its an ok tyre but not the best.
