I really like the low-end torque on the 2009-12 TDI. Seems a little better than the 2013-16 version...I test drove a 2016 Exec in September. Gotta add the Auto-hold, warning triangle and aluminum pedals and we'd be exact twins!

Tell me about this Autohold feature.

When the car is stopped, you push a button and you can remove your foot from the brake pedal and the computer will auto hold the car in place.

Great thread here on it, including coding.

I leave it on all the time (except for car washes).

Just ordered some Verde Plus tires for my, New to me, 2011 Touareg. Will get them put on when I go down to get the "gold plated" ash tray replaced in the back door. Even thought we had to order them, they are less than the Goodyear Eagle OE tires on the two Touaregs on the lot at the dealer.

My local VW dealer is putting on a new set of the Verde Plus' as I type. $90 for the mount/balance and $189 for a 4-wheel alignment. My wife has given me her $500 dealer card as a finders fee for the $500 cash card I signed her up for, nice.

I'm saving the two front DWS as they still have the D and W, but the rears are only showing the D.

I like driving my Highlander wuth the Verde plus's versus the Conti Eco plus 20. Very happy. I know winter tires are worn at 50 percent but still better than all seasons worn 50 percent nooby?

I did a 100 mile round trip and am very happy with the Verde Plus'. They are as quiet or quieter than the DWS when they were both brand new. The ride is improved, probably because the tires are brand new and I can take the on/off ramps just as fast as I could before, all in all, very good so far. I'm looking forward to the rain and snow, but not snow as spring has just started.

The Verde Plus is the best tire on the market for handling and smooth, quiet ride. The only compromise is a slight decline in mpg.

That is odd as they are marketed as a low rolling resistance "green" tire, hence the name "verde".

What are you comparing them to and what kind of mpg decline have you seen?

Butchl710 · Apr 13, 2016

Mythdoc, that's a bit of a bummer as I hoped I would get at least a small increase in mileage over the mud and snows that we had on the Touareg when we bought it.

fincher · Apr 13, 2016

I have not noticed any decrease in mileage. Have about 10k on mine. Excellent tire.

Timujin · Apr 16, 2016

Currently have 22k on the OE Goodyears. Should need new tires by fall. These looks like the ones to get. Thanks for the info all.

BenTDI · Apr 17, 2016

I had the same 22,xxx on the LS2's when I got the DWS'. I might have had another 4,000 left in them but like many, I don't like being under-tire'd and risk crashing because I'm trying to save $100-200 dollars by getting more miles out of a set of tires.

I have a question about inflation on these tires. The sidewall says that the maximum carrying capacity, per tire, is, I believe, 2,271 pounds at 50 pounds PSI. My screen says the tires should be inflated at 33 on the front and 38 on the rear. Due to the fact these are different from OEM tires, should I increase the pressure. Also, where do I look on the tires for the approximate manufacture date?

Oregon TDI · Apr 22, 2016

Keep using 33/38.

There should be a date code molded into the sidewall. Something like "1536", which would be the 36th week of 2015.

BenTDI · Apr 23, 2016

I had been running 39F 41R on my first two sets of tires.

The VW dealer had set these tires at 36 F/R and I've left them that way so far. I had towed my boat 35 miles one way/70 miles round trip and all was fine.

Butchl710 · Apr 23, 2016

Oregon TDI, I have a big favor to ask. I went out twice to try and find the code and, perhaps due to senility, I just can't find it. Would you be willing to take a picture of your code on your tires and send it to me at jalichty@bresnan.net? If you can't, I understand and i'll try something else.

Here is pick from my Plus version:

Here you go. This tire (Scorpion Verde non-Plus) was made in the 39th week of 2015.
