I also own a 95 Passat and the best thing I did to that car was upgrage from the Eagle GA. I stongly suggest the Dunlop SP 8000. I have found them to be an excellent tire for this car, and with the capable suspension of the VW Passat, the handling of car will improved greatly. You will definitely enjoy driving the car with these tires. The only downside is that depending on how hard you drive the car in corners, braking, acceleration etc., these tires may not last very long. I only got 14,000 out of the first set. My second set has 23,000 miles and I should get about 3,000 more before they need to be changed. Regardless, it a small price to pay for such benefits.
