Recommended rubber for Passat?
Discussion
Hi all,
Picked the new motor up today, had a good drive home until a stonking low speed understeer incident caused some swearing!! I suspect there must have been something extra slippy on the road at that point as the car handled other bends reasonably well. Of course a quick check of currently fitted rubber reveals P6000 Ditchfinders up front and some unknown objects on the back, so probably not particularly ideal.
My general fave economy rubber, Falken ZE-912s are available in 205/60R15 but I also noticed Continental Contact Premium2 are available for not much more (in the scheme of things), I also saw some Vredstein jobbies on Mytyres (IIRC). Any other thoughts/recommendations though? Think 140mile daily roundtrip, 75% M/way 25% B roads.
Cheers,
Rob

I'm guessing the sport alloys are bigger? I can't find 452s in 15" anywhere, I guess if camskill don't do them they don't exist which is a shame as I know they're highly rated. Don't really want to get in to changing alloys, only got the bugger yesterday Plus the 15s look like they'll be really easy to clean, especially compared to the turbines I've got on the beemer!
