Volkswagen Caddy Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Atlas Green 4S given 28% (195-65-15-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 0 easy going miles
worst tires ever, slipping when accelerating in the rain, a little snow and I was stuck after two meters while my neighbor on summer tires could leave and very worn after 12000 km despite a calm driving style. unworthy of four seasons or snowflake

Writing about the Michelin CrossClimate 2 given 65% (205-55-16-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 3000 easy going miles
The VW Caddy has pretty poor traction and this Michelin tire makes the car dangerous on bends on wet roads. On dry roads, the comfort is appreciable as is its correct road holding. On snow, this tire got me out of situations where I would not have been able to drive with summer tires given the poor traction of my vehicle.

Writing about the Hankook Ventus Prime 3 K125 given 96% (205-60-16-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 27961 average miles
These tyres came with the car, really good. Good comfort, low noise levels.
I bought them because they had an sealent that would be good against punctures but this year we didn't get any nails or screw, so we never got to try out if they held.
Felt secure on rainy days, while the treads worns out the more we reduce the speed on wet roads.

Half of the life of the tyres we rotated them.

We could probably have them on for 12427 miles more, but colder weahter is coming!

Great tyre's, everything is amazing.

Driving on a combination of roads for 15500 average miles
RoadHawk are quite good tyres for the price, perform well on wet and quite good on dry. However they do wear fast. I do little motorway, a mix of city and around, after 25000 km my front tyres (front wheel drive) are almost worn out for good. Might squeeze 1k km more but thats it. Good price, good performance, wears fast.

Driving on mostly motorways for 10000 average miles
Giti is the OE supplier for major car markers like VW, Audi, Toyota, Honda and many more, which speaks for its quality. Happy with its price point especially when comparing against the likes of Michelin, Bridgestone, Pirelli and Continental.

Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 spirited miles
Good grip in the dry and wet but the wear quickly. I don’t like the sidewall design but I do like the tread pattern.

Driving on a combination of roads for 500 average miles
Absolutely dreadful tyre. As usual, VW penny pinching wherever they can and as stated fitted as OEM to the Caddy 5. Horrendous ride quality, no feedback through the steering and noisy. Binned them and had Primacy 4s fitted all round and has transformed the drive and ride of the vehicle considerably. On a £30k+ i would have expected better.

Worst tyres I have experienced in the wet. Aquaplanned extremely quickly compared with Continentals that were replaced.

Writing about the Michelin CrossClimate Plus given 67% (195-50-15-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 7500 average miles
I bought a pair of these last winter for my work van as I was unhappy with the performance of the Vredestine Quadrac 5's I had fitted. These tyres are excellent for winter, great grip on cold, wet roads and I zero problems with aquaplaning despite hitting huge puddles across the motorway at speed. Snow performance was disappointing though as the Quadrac 5's were better despite being quite poor everywhere else as a winter tyre. My problems with the Cross Climates are mediocre warm weather performance as the tread feels too soft when hot, high price and very high wear. The edges were starting to look really low after just 6000 miles on the front and the rest of the tyres were down to 4mm. I have since put them on the rear and done around 1500 miles and should hopefully get another winter with them on the front as I'm not using this van for work or as my primary transport anymore. If I was to buy more all season tyres I would probably go for Goodyear Vectors, they performed well on my BMW 1 series over a winter and those same tyres will be tested next winter on my Golf diesel to see how they hold up after a decent amount of miles. First impressions are good but they only did 2 or 3000 miles on the front of a rear wheel drive car.

Writing about the Vredestein Quatrac 5 given 60% (195-50-15-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 30000 average miles
This is my second review of these tyres as I ended up using my van for work over the past winter so clocked about another 15000 miles. I swapped the rears with the fronts and the edges of the fronts were fairly worn and I was suffering with a lot of wheelspin and dangerous braking. The swap improved the braking to the point of not dangerous over winter but it was still below average, handling also improved but on the cold roads I was still getting a lot of wheelspin. One particularly bad trip up north on a motorway run I was suffering extremely badly with aquaplaning even with around 6mm of tread left on them. I swapped them out after with a pair of Michelin cross climates which pretty much solved all my handling, grip, aquaplaning and braking issues. I kept the worn ones on the back and they were fine for the rest of the winter with no problems at all there. Now it's summer I've switched those back to the front and inflated to 45psi cold to get the last use out of them before replacing with the less worn ones. The increased pressure seems to have improved the grip, braking and handling from what it was before. In the warm and dry they are better handling than the cross climates although still not as good in the wet or on the brakes but do seem better than before. I also had some snow driving with the less worn pair on the front before swapping to the Michelins and although they are not as good as those in the cold, wet and ice they actually worked better in snow for me. The Michelins look at least half worn after just 6000 miles on the front so considering the cost difference I'd say the Vredestines are a better tyre unless you are doing a lot of driving in bad conditions. In which case I'd probably try the Goodyear Vector 4's which will be going on my Golf diesel this winter. As I said in the last review the Quadrac 5's were pretty good all round for the first 12,000 miles, I don't think the Cross climates would even last any longer than 12,000 miles so the Vredestines win by default. The aquaplaning on the front with the hardly worn tyres is my biggest issue and the reason I won't buy these again. The newer version is supposed to be 10% better for that but that's not good enough. Make it 25% and I'd be interested. The Michelins have not aquaplaned once and they are down to about 4mm. The worn pair still on the van is down to about 3mm tread after approximately 20,000 miles on the front and 10,000 on the rear. They are bald on the outside edges but still legal as you only need 1.6mm on 75% of the centre tread in the UK.
