getanas Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 I own a Passat Sport 2013 here in Dubai. I have completed 27000km and it has suddenly started giving me heavy tyre noise. The dealers said I cannot expect noise free tyre from 25K onwards. Is any one else facing similar issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heroittude Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Well dealer always talk about what crap they sell and they only want to sell their stuff. For best tires I strongly suggest go for Michelin or Continental, soft rubber and noise less drive at least for 50K kms. I guess Michelin still gives lifetime warranty of free replacement which means until full 5 years or until tread left on the tire. That's what i call the real confidence in their quality. I personally know a friend who claimed Michelin warranty due to bulge in tire (I guess due to bad storage) and company changed that tire free of cost with free fitting and balancing in 30 mins. Hope it helps you find the right tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getanas Posted October 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 I'm having a conti sport contact 3 tyre on my Passat Sport 2013. And this is why I'm so pissed off. Continental and VW is trying to wash their hands saying there is no defect on the tyre and so they cannot give warranty. This is way too unpractical to change tyre at 25000km. I'm thinking about rising complaint to Quality and Conformity Council and the Consumer Court. Wanted to know other VW owners are facing the same issue.
