This tire is OE on the 2026 VW Atlas SE in the New England region. Having driven only 1,200 miles, the tire is reasonably quiet and comfortable. Gripping in all weather conditions seems adequate but not notably exceptional. The tire makes the VW Atlas steering feel like a much bigger SUV, in my opinion. These tires are soft, especially the sidewalls, which will blow out when curbed on New England stone curbs at less than 5 mph.

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Volkswagen Atlas drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Just a really solid all round tire, great snow grip considering it's not 3pmsf marked, lasted ages, comfortable.
An impressive all round tire. In 20,000 miles of motoring the rears had only lost 1.5/32s which is very low wear on a big vehicle like the atlas. Comfort levels weren't the best but they weren't offensive. Didn't get chance to run them in much snow or ice sadly.
Initial review, just replaced some Michelin Defender MS2s. These are sharper steering, a little more comfortable and have great grip in braking. will update once I have more miles on them.
