Replacement tires for 99.5 Jetta TDI
Yes, David. I drive the same car and just installed a set of four BF
Goodrich Traction T/A H's from Tire Rack @ $63/tire. It is currently their highest-rated performance all season. It has a nice 440 rating for treadware. I live in suburban Phila and they should do the trick for our climate. As "sticker tires", already they seem to outhandle the former Conti Sport Contacts and the original Goodyears that came on the car. I am presently at 120K. Good luck with yours.
