I am going on two years on my VW. I am using 155 firestone winterforce tires.
My goal is to put them at 51 pounds, the rated sidewall pressure.
They are winter only tires that I ran all last summer expecting them to melt off when the air temps went to 95F. So far so good in regards to wearing straight across, I didnt use my calipers just a key. They are still straight.
One thing I might mention is that I chose a narrower tire than stock.
Why winter tires in Missouri? Good question. Our home 3 miles off a paved road. Probably 50 days a year the road is a mess. Wet or snow covered. Most neighbors either run horses or Four wheel drive.
It takes a lot of maintenance to keep tires at 50psi. they need checks before almost any road trip. I think it is worth it but it takes time nearly every week.
