1999 New Beetle - Tire recommendation?

Hi Bruce,

I'm in Ontario, and use Michelin XGT H4's on my Jetta for spring, summer, and fall. They're ok in snow that's not too deep, but I'd recommend a set of Arctic Alpins on steel rims...they're amazing and quiet.

You mind fixing your date/time please?

Quite good in the dry summer (excellent grip all around, stopping, starting, cornering), excellent in the wet, and apparantly quite superior to an "all season" tire in the snow. They are rated as being true 4-season tires (snowflake logo and all).

They are directional tires tho, if that is a concern for you.

To me they seem like the ULTIMATE tire for a Canadian who doesn't have the money to own two sets of tires and rims (I know I sure don't...) - I wish I could give you a performance appraisal for winter, but I have only had them since March... I drove thru some snow flurries, that's about it.
