Greetings Y'all,
I have always attempted to get the best tire mileage I could. Good tire maint is one of the best ways to get The best tire mileage as well as the best fuel mileage. In 2000 we purchased a 2000 New Beetle TDI 5 speed . It came with 16 inch Michelin tires. With proper tire maint we were able to get just at 90,000 on the OEM tires. We also got GREAT fuel mileage with a highway average of about 52 mpg. In 2010 our beetle was hit and totaled. In 2011 we purchased a 2011 Jetta Sportwagen TDI 6 speed standard. It came with Bridgstone Tranza 205/55R16's. These tires have only 62,000 miles on them and they are worn out. I am in the process of checking out which tire maker is building tires that will get the 90,000 or so mileage that we got with the Michelins that were on our Old New Beetle. As history has shown I am leaning to Michelin. If you have any input on great tire mileage please let me know. The information we are able to put together here may help others get great tire mileage. Thanks for your input.
Have fun,
