- '18 Golf R
Hey guys, I just got a MK7.5 Golf R (2018) - my first actual VW. I previously ran whatever winter tires I could get my hands on for my previous cars, but this time, I kind of narrowed it down to these two as their price difference is some what significant so I'm just wondering if it's worth the extra guac. I live in NYC btw but I go snowboarding in the mountains sometimes - so mostly plowed, wet cold roads but occasional snow (packed and not).
I'm looking at a new set of Firestone Winterforce 2 for $530 (set of 4) or the performance winters Vredestein Wintrac Pro for $705 (set of 4).
Also - Tire rack says it's 225/40R18 for 18" wheels on the R but I was wondering if 235/40 would be better for slightly more wheel protection against curbs (also, the 225/40R18 on 8" wheels looks like it's kinda stretched a bit).
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
