I own a 2001 golf cabrio 1.9tdi 90hp and my first upgrade was wheels and tires, the there are not that much tires available in the size i need but this was one of the options at my local tire shop, i really like them for the price, nice sporty feeling. On the dry i feel like i have infinite grip, the understeer comes on slowly but is predictable and controlable, but im not a lot on the point of oversteer i need to really need to try. on my car they are relativly low profile so they are pretty stiff and sensitive, but when the road is smooth i really love the tires. last summer when the tires where new i rode the stelvio pas to the top, lots of grip in the hairpins, best part was the downhill in switserland, whet they got up to temperature i had loads of grip, with no sign of fading. on the wet they are still pretty good, but it understeers a lot quicker but still predictable and controlable unlike my previous tires. love the for the price would buy again

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 Cabrio drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I purchased the wrong size for my vehicle, however, after 20,000 my only real complaint is the lack of rolling resistance they have. Being an all-season tire I've lost gas mileage because of this and they tend to hold you back. Wet traction has also suffered slightly since new but not enough to mention really.
