The HydroEdge™ is Michelin's latest and greatest tire. It has superseded the X-One, the tire we ran for many years. It has an amazing tread wear rating of 800! (85,000 mile warranty). This is compared to a typical industry standard of 300-400. This tire scores top marks in performance, handling, and quiet ride. It is also Michelin's best handling wet weather tire; a much needed feature for VW Bus and Vanagon.* These tires will outlast ANY 14" tire option by at least 2:1, and most people are getting more like 3 times more miles out of these guys. On top of that, they provide WAY better handling and safety. So do the math, and you can see this wheel package is actually cheaper than just replacing your old 14" tires with another set of 14" tires, and another, and another...
Note: Wolfsburg edition hard-top, GL models with ground effects package, Carat and Multivan models came equipped from the factory with 1" lowering springs. Therefore, the 16" wheel and tire combo can and will on occasion rub the inside fender lip under hard driving. They fit great, handle on the highway like a dream, look superb, but you may need to modify your driving style.
Double Clarification Note: The note above does NOT apply to any year of 2WD or 4WD Westfalia Camper or 7-Passenger Vanagon. It only applies to factory lowered vehicles.
*These wheels and tires will not fit in the stock spare tire position.
