When I bought my (used) Golf V in February, Eurostar winter tires were mounted. Relatively new tires, with decent profile. Then, despite correct air pressure, the handy and safe golf went swimming and irony like a 70-square swing. In wet weather it slipped away early, in the snow every smallest slope meant an adventure, which mostly failed. Brakes was lucky and the side stop in curves felt like that of summer tires. Then I had my nose full and ka And oh miracle: Suddenly the golf is suitable for winter. On Christmas holidays in the Alps you could easily start on snow-covered slopes, braking is perfect and the side stop is perfect. On dry road there are hardly any differences to the summer tire. What I want to say: Once again I had the experience that good brand winter tires cheap lowprice-R The price difference for a set may be 60€, but this 60€ is worth as little as anything. People, good tires bring it! Chris
