2012 Volkswagen Golf Tires

The Volkswagen Golf compact is descended from the VW Rabbit of decades ago, the replacement for the original Beetle. By 2012, the Golf was in its seventh generation, with 3-door, wagon and 5-door body styles; this long-running favorite is available with several drivetrain choices, including an EV model. For model year ‘12, the Golf was available with numerous trim levels, including R, Base, R Base and TDI.

When you shop 2012 Volkswagen Golf tires, you’ll probably be looking for premium all season tires that can deliver long wear, a quiet, forgiving ride, great road manners and handling and year round traction. We’d recommend tires like the Pirelli P Zero All Season Plus (with 50k mile treadwear warranty), Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS and Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 (45k mile warranty). For more enthusiastic drivers, check out summer and ultra-high-performance tires like the Pirelli Cinturato P7 and Falken Azenis FK510. Just keep in mind that summer and UHP tires use a softer, stickier tread formulation that delivers great grip but will stiffen and lose traction in colder weather; these tires shouldn’t be used when temperatures are below about 45 degrees F.

I just bought these tires for my 2012 VW Golf TDI to use for my summer tires. So far I have put about 2k miles on them and they have been excellent! Handle well, ride well and are quiet!! I would definitely buy again. Stop reading this already and order them!
