Best Tires for the Volkswagen Polo 1.4 TDI

Initial impressions: very good dry grip! Relatively quiet and comfortable.
It was 70EUR for 185 60 R15 - the best overall price / performance.
Made in Hungary.

This tire is great. Since I don't have that fast of a car I can't really test its limits, but for everyday normal driving this tire is awesome. Handling feels good, as well as overall feeling behind the wheel, even when pushing in corners. I am impressed by the mileage I got with it. I will be driving my car with this tire until the end of this summer season, and it's still solid. Replacing it due to age of tire (would be 6 and a half years for the next season).

As my Falken ZIEX ZE914 EcoRun needed replacement, and I wanted more comfortable tire, I decided to give it a try with these tires because I was positively surprised with winter Nexen Winguard Snow G Wh2. First of all, I was little bit sceptical when I saw that they are produced in Czech Republic (winter ones Winguard Snow G Wh2 were produced in Korea), and speed index is ''V'', thread depth is around 6,5 mm, but as soon as I started driving over few bumps, I noticed that compound is much more softer than on Falken, and they are very quiet. On the opposite side if you push them to limit, side walls are also very soft and they will start to squeal. Ride is very safe in dry and wet, and you will have much confidence driving on them, especially enjoying on motorways in quiet and in comfort over the bumps. They are not sharp and precise on steering wheel like Falken, but they are like bubble gum, they stick to the road, so wear is going to be higher, but I wanted that. This is not sport tire, they are excellent choice if you are looking for safe touring tire, and you appreciate comfort and quietness over sportiness. Don't get me wrong, you can drive sporty and safe on them, but you will wear them very quickly. For the price, and for my wehicle I'm very satisfied.

I can't see how these are sold as tires.. they have no grip what so ever I simply cannot use my car in the rain.. if I'm out and it rains I'm stuck till it dries out.. do not buy these tire unless your suicidal

When I bought my VW Polo new four years ago it was fitted with Hankook tires, I don't know the type.I was very pleased at the minimum rate of ware. This week I noticed many small cracks had appeared at each side of the tread above the tire wall and on the entire circumference on both sides of the tire. All the four tires were the same. The depth of tread is 4.2mm which is very good for 38,000miles. Now the tires are scrap due to that defect after only 2.8mm of tread wear. Due to it being MOT time and in case the police should stop me for some reason I have had to buy four new tires. It means that Hankook are expensive tires when they have to be replaced after only 2.8mm of tread wear. I showed the tire fault to the VW dealer and they were not interested. N Mould

Bought these because my Sava Eskimo S3+ needed replacement. For first winter I'm very impressed, very good grip in every condition. In comparison to Sava, they offer much more grip, especially in wet and they are much more quieter (previously on motorways I thought that irritating noise is coming from the wheel bearing or engine but after replacing tires noise was gone). I don't feel any difference in snow between Nexen and Sava but I feel much more confident driving on Nexen then Sava. Excellent tire for the money, highly recommended!!

Bought these after Firestone Roadhawk, and my Good, what a positive transformation. Dry and wet grip are very good, they feel a little bit stiffer but as you warming them more and more (in dry) they become softer and performing better and better. Unlike Firestones, handling and cornering is much better, I'm amazed with how much confidence I can enter corner with my little VW ''dragon''. :) I'm amazed how much grip these tires are providing. Road feedback is very good and they are not so noisy. Only little negative thing is that over a bumpy road, ride can get a little bit uncomfortable. Overall, great tires for the price, I highly recommend them and would buy them again.

Came with car when I bought it, average dry, very poor wet grip, but on a snow and ice excellent. What is temperature lower, these tires performance are better. On higher speeds are noisy, and for normal driving handling is good, you can feel when they start to loose grip. Wear is also very good. For the price overall, good tires, especially if you are looking for snow and ice performance.

Came with car as factory fit, very good dry and wet grip, for normal driving (without any sport driving intentions because when you push them to a limit they start to loose grip easly) handling is more than fine, on higher speeds can get noisy. Most of the time II had feeling that I don't feel what's happening with car, and in my opinion road feedback is not so good. I wouldn't recommend buying these tires to premium or any other cars than small or city cars. They are ok tires, although there are better out there for the same price.

Bought a set for my VW Polo 2016 for winter monts, and they are excellent tires. Grip si great in all kind of conditions from icy and snowy to sloshy to wet and dry. Consistant. They are confortable, and silent in dry. In wet there is little bit of winding noise above 50 mph, but nothing to extreme. This tires give me confidence and sense of security, so I am very pleased with them.
