Hi looking for some advice on new tyres for our 2010 Passat Wagon (Diesel). We are going to be doing a very high mileage around Australia (on Bitumen, very little Off road). I am looking for a tyre that is relatively quiet but gives good mileage, and handles well. Can anyone help, I'm based in Melbourne at present.

Hi raygc,
Lots of threads on this topic.
I have the OE Continental Contisport 5 and they are excellent. I have also used Michelin PS3 and Bridgestone Adrenalin RE003 on other cars. All are good. Conti>PS3>RE003 for quietness and the order of what I would buy pricing be equal. -
Many thanks gives me something to look at, have used Continentals before on another Euro car and was happy with them.Comment

I just got Michellin Primacy 3 ST's put on replacing another set of Michellin Primacy 3 ST.
Great tyre, excellent performance in all conditions, good wearing (got 70,000k from last set, mostly open road driving, and would have done better with more sensible rotation) and they are the quietest tyres I've ever owned by a long way (the ST stands for Silent Tune).
Typically around $220/corner. If you are a costco member you can get them there for about $180/corner typically.Last edited by ozrcboy; 11-09-2016, 08:29 AM.08 Golf GT TDI

I agree with ozrcboy re the Primacy 3 ST.
Good wearing, quiet tyre, although not quite as grippy as the Continentals that were fitted ex factory.
Shopping around a couple of weeks ago, Tyres Plus in Ringwood had them for $145 each (235/45/17) fitted and balanced.MY17 Passat Alltrack Wolfsburg, Indium Grey, SunroofComment
