I got my vw in the fall It needed new tires so I went for 155/80x13 instead of the stock 175/70x13, it had 215/60x13 on it by a prior owner.
My new tires are taller than the last ones on it. The new tires are winter tires rather that "all (3) season" tires. I figure that narrow would be good for aero and for winter traction.
I am going to run them all year. I figure that the winter tread will cost some mileage but not getting stuck is worth it. Hoping to see better mileage once the weather gets warmer. I am still running some humongous mud flaps behind them. Going to take them off when I get a chance.
Thanks for sharing some real data on the cd.
