Best Tires for the Volkswagen Passat 2.0TDI

comfort level and noise level are great. Im not satisfied with wet grip, handling is bad, you are felling like you are wobbling in the turns, you are late with the turns. wearing is also bad, im driving mainly on highway but im not satisfied, also i have to replace it because the started to have bulging at the sides.

the main reason that I don't like this tires is that under 6 degrees they are rubbish with poor grip , in UK where is wet and cold for 6 months this tire is a bit useless

The tires extensively wobbling at 120km/h. Sailun Europe lacking basic communication skills

Wobbling at speed 120km/h, contacted Sailun Europe, it was a time waste as responses came once per 2 weeks

Used in multiple road conditions and seasons, can't say I am really displeased about them, they are fine for the price, decent grip and pretty good fuel economy. During rain you can really estimate the limits of the tire and the car, however these tires are not suited for heavy winter weather, such as ice or snow, the tire, despite its tread, is struggling to find grip and getting the car rolling is quite a difficult task and at medium to low speeds, during said conditions, the car becomes unstable; didn't have enough courage to go faster as the car was feeling like a sled.

Overall they are pretty good if where you live it doesn't snow a lot, they can handle cold temperatures and rain completely fine and summer driving (you must pay attention to braking distances during summer as the tire becomes really soft), as long as you don't overplay your hand too much. Very good on fuel and cheap to buy.

The tires were mounted on a VW Passat B7 Variant 2.0TDI 103KW, 6-speed manual transmission, front wheel drive.

Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 are great all season tires. They replaced Michelin Cross Climate 2. For mileage comparison they have both lasted around 25000 on a front axel on a front wheel drive car and 50000 on the rears. the Bridgestone have still got more tread left compared to the Michelin by around 2mil a good improvement, but they are starting to crack on the tread now. The Bridgestone are noticeably more fun to drive give better steering response and feel more planted. The Michelins were nicer for cruising they soak up bumps and potholes much better and are quieter. Both were great in ice and frosty conditions and dealt with snow well. I am however going back to summer tires, they are way more fun to drive for the majority of seasons in the UK. I personally found both sets of the all seasons just not as fun to drive as good summer tires (obviously) I drive a lot of twisty B roads and they never felt as secure as summers or handle as well in wet conditions they are just ok. Also there's a notable difference in braking differences compared with summer tires they just seem to take a bit longer to come to a full stop than you expect.
