I have about 50K on the OEM all season tires that came with the Golf (18" SEL rims). For the first 2 seasons the tires performed well in the winter snow. So as this winter approached I didn't think twice.
Well we had our first significant snow of this season and although there seems to be a decent amount of tread left- I was significantly struggling to make it up snow covered hills- the same hills that last year I had no problem going over.
Im looking for some recommendations on snow tires and rim combinations. is it better to put on 16" tires? I will do a decent amount of highway travel with the snow tires - unfortunately through the snow belt regions.
