I've run laufenn on a newish golf and they're decent.
Quiet, decent lifespan well priced.
Tyre ship guy told me they're owned by Hankook, kind of a Lexus Toyota thing i.e not brand new tech/materials and maybe a previous tread pattern.
Been happy with them and will keep using them.
Garrett gt2250s stage 3 from 90k-100k … zero major mechanical issues.
Boas, tive um Golf V durante 12 anos. Usei molas de rebaixamento + amortecedores sport (koni), usei suspensão original com molas de rebaixamento e por fim usei coilovers.
My 2012 golf r loves it 63,000 miles I use 5w40 Molly gen and a can of ceratech every 3 oil changes and I some how don’t burn or consume oil
Honestly the Michelin pilot sport as4 is a better “summer tire” in many ways than the Hankook summer tires that come stock on these.
I have the Hankooks, they seem to perform well in summer conditions. I have no previous experience with any other tire on the R to compare them to.
I'm in the Boston area and downsized to 18" Pretorias and Michelin Pilot Sport AS tires. Far less jarring when hitting potholes, no wheel damage yet, and the ride is smoother as well.
Hawk HPS 5.0 front and rear.
They dust the same as what came on my car from the factory, the first 1k miles they felt like they needed some extra heat in them to get a "normal" feel but by the time I left my neighborhood it was fine. Either I'm used to it now or it went away.
The alternator was replaced, car died again two weeks later. The Valeo OEM was deemed defective. Back in the shop for a warranty change, still getting voltage fluctuations.
Be careful where you buy your plugs. There are counterfeit NGK plugs out there. I found out the hard way. I purchased off of Amazon. Mine melted before I could even get a mile in to my session.
