Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.
How long do tyres last on the Volkswagen Caddy?
Across 12 end of life reviews from Volkswagen Caddy drivers, a typical set of tyres was worn out after 15,500 miles. Half of all worn-out sets lasted between 10,000 miles and 20,000 miles.
Distances are self-reported by drivers whose review marked the set as worn out; figures are medians, so a single unusual report cannot move them.

What Volkswagen Caddy drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Poor tyres for my van . Terrible wet grip and aqa planed so bad . Wore down quickly too. Glad to be rid of them but they were cheap but worser than Chinese rivals I have had on other vehicles Would definitely to buy again
The first thing I noticed with the tires was the comfort. The ride is really smooth now.
Noise is low as well.
Comparing the handling to Contential All Season Contact 2, these tires was a more firmer ride over uneven roads but handling quite good.
Last year I had Nokian Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5, they were just amazing on ice and snow, since they updated the compound towards wet and lost a bit traction on snow and ice. I didn't want to take a chance on buying them again.
I got the Goodyears tires, am happy with the tires. Good to try out other brands.
Would I recommend Goodyear Ultra Grip 3? Yes! Prices are good.
Would I buy again? If there was no other tire with better snow and ice grip yes.
Highest speed limit in my area is around 100km/h (around 62mph)
I got 7 mm left on all tires. (manufactor says I should have 2,7bar front and 2,9 bar back, but when having that the front tires worn out really quickly and the back are like new so I changed to 2,6bar to all tires, seems to work fine)

these things are so noisy i'm on here looking for a replacement for them after 5000 miles.
Was going to do a end of time review, but i am doing a mid life again.
Rotated the tires once, front has just under 4,5 mm left and back has around 5mm of tread left.
Very good wear on it, felt like a precise tire when ever you steered you knew which direction you had a tire.
There were no efforts to drive with them.
Noise and comfort were good.
The tires were very excelent in dry and wet
In snow they were good. I haven't tired them in ice.
I had to replace the tires to nordic winter tires because we drive around in all kind of places in the region were there is a lot of snow and ice.
Saftey comes fist.
A very solid tire!
P.S I would only use all season tires in moderate climate. (Always check with the manufacturer what temperature range they can handle.)

First time I tried all season tires, I got these tires because were I live we have a more moderate weather in spring,summer and autumn.
But I wanted to be secure into autumn before winter, the temperature can drop too 0 degree (celius) in the night to mornings. (Don't worry, we always get nordic winter tires in the winter).
They aren't for sporty tires, feel secure in dry and wet weather.
Low noise, good comfort.
We had some torrential rain, were you could barley see the road more then 200-500 meters infront of you, full of water on the road.
The tires felt steardy, car stable. Something else I've notice as well, might have done with that I am not used too premium tires, but when it hasen't rained for a long time, and it does rain, the roads here usually get very slippery esp in the turns.... Don't feel it anymore.
The front tires has 5,2 mm left and back tires around 6 mm.
Still mid August right now, will make a new update closer too winter on the end life of the tires.

I would class these tyres as downright dangerous! When first fitted I felt as if the car was floating or drifting on the road, not a comfortable feeling. They don't stop in wet weather and aren't much better in dry weather. Removing after 3000km. Advise to spent the extra £10-20 per wheel to get something decent.
Tyres were handling fine although I haven't tried other tyres with this vehicle. Wear was extreme!! Totally worn out after 29000 km under mild driving behaviour and not a particularly high load.
So, these are on a 2 litre VW Caddy Maxi Life. Bearing in mind that this is a car/van/car, and is quite tall. The tyres handle well, seem to stop well and give good fuel consumption. Cannot comment on wear as all 4 tyres currently have 7mm of tread. The price for them here in Ireland is competetive, so yes, i would buy again.
In February 2024 I acquired a new vw Caddy 5 for my company, to my great surprise it was equipped with this brand of GITI tires that I have never heard before, knowing that my partner acquired the same vehicle in October 2023 but which was equipped with Hankook Ventus Prime 4 tires, I used his vehicle for 5 months until receiving my vehicle. With Hankook tires, I did not encounter any problem in behavior on the highway whether on dry or wet, even at high speeds 180-190 km / h and in bends, the vehicle was perfectly stable with good road holding. Unfortunately, upon receiving my vehicle fitted with GITI Synergy H2 tires, I felt a great deal of discomfort and a painful effort in controlling the vehicle on the highway, especially at speeds above 130 km/h, until one day, in order to avoid a flying MDF plate, I almost lost control of the vehicle, which slid the rear wheels at 140 km/h, and on dry roads, I needed nerves of steel to countersteer several times at this speed and get back on track. After this incident, I plan to get rid of these dreadful tires, which are already less than 30,000 km away. I think that the manufacturer VW has regressed a lot in the quality of its vehicles and doesn't care about fitting anything.
