Are the Hankook tires still used on the 2013 SE TDI?:confused:

YES. My '13 SE 6M has them. Mine aren't too noisy, remarkably.

Yes.

I was dismayed to see them on my SEL P as well, but honestly, they're really not that bad.

My ride will be wearing new Michelins once these are AMF.

My 2013 SEL came with Bridgestones. The owner's manual package had both Bridgestone and Hankook warrenty brocures in it, the salesman removed the Hankook one before giving it to us.

Mine came with Hankooks, but there was a Bridgestone/Firestone warranty brochure in my owner materials, and no Hankook brochure. I got excited when I saw that, but then I checked the car and there were the Hankooks, in all their glory. :D

I wouldn't get terribly excited about the Bridgestone Turanza EL-400 tires that VW puts on these cars. They're also near the bottom of the TireRack list in every measurement.
