Just put a set on my Passat. Very nice tires. I also own some Kuhmo MX's on my Nissan but the 950's are a better daily driver tire for a person who needs mileage. ES100's are a real nice tire as well but they are also a summer tire. You need to decide if you want a summer only tire or a all season tire. 950's are the best all season tire at a decent price I can think of. I put them on my wifes car.
