At 50k miles the Hancook POS's are finally roasted. I've alway's hated these tires. They are 235/45R18's.
I priced 3 brands of tires at the dealer to burn the gift card on. I asked for prices on Conti's, Pirelli's, and Michelin's. The prices were given out the door with alignment. The Conti's were a hair over $900, the Pirelli's, $1030ish, and the Michelin MXM4's were the most at $1130 or so.
With the research I've done so far the Pirelli's seem to have the best reviews and ratings. Does anything have them on their Passat, for how long, and how do you like them? I had originally decided on the Conti's as they are a big name brand tire and are a good fit brand wise for a VW with all of the parts Continental makes for VW. But, the Pirelli's have really caught my attention lately and may be worth the extra coin.
