TDI Tires
I just bought a practically new 2012 Golf TDI a few weeks ago from a VW enthusiast that has owned 7 Golfs/GTIs and it came with a set of about 3 month old Continental ExtremeContact DWS tires that he had put on. He said he's tried quite a few different tires on his various VWs and said he likes the Continental Extremes the most on the TDI.
While I admit Ive only been driving on them for a few weeks so I cant speak to how long they last, but so far I like them a lot and their actually really quiet.
They also seem to overall get very good reviews online. I'm curious to see how they will be in the snow this upcoming winter, but being considered as a "Ultra High-performance All-season" class tire, Im hoping they will perform the way that grade of tire should. So far I like them a lot.
Def worth checking out at least
