Looking for Replacement Tire Recommendations

jpstringer · 06-26-2008

I read through the Replacement Tires 255/22/18 and though it had a look of good threads, I would like to ask the opinion of New England Drivers. So if you could share your Touareg handling experience...

I have a 2004 Touareg with the Perrill Scorpion Zero. These were the original tires that came with the Touareg, I replaced them with the same at 50K and now at 81K they need to be replaced again. I am a demanding driver and love handling of the Touareg. I trailer my snowmobiles in the winter, so I do a lot of winter driving. I have developed tire cupping, which is making them noisy and rough now. while these tires were recommended as the best for the Touareg, I am hoping to find a tire that will stand up to aggressive driving, perform good in snow and wear a lot longer then 30K miles

Thanks, Jim

Goodyear Fortera Triple tread
Bought at 52 k now 84 k and still good. Excellent in winter driving. My wife she had never felt this safe before
