Grip:
Noise:

The current tires are Michelin Premier A/S's. They are a nice tire, quiet, grippy and pricey.

Pros: quiet, grippy

Cons: pricey

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

I agree, very quiet compared to my Bridgestone Ecopia 422 plus H, better traction wet and dry...better handling too. Expansion joint crossings are quieter than my Bridgestones as well.

Pros: better traction, better handling

Cons: visually busy sidewall

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

I did just put these tires on my wife's 2016 jetta sport. They have 3k miles on them already in the past month and they are great. Quiet on the highway (though when you hit expansion joints it's kinda loud) ride good and handling/traction for wet, dry and the little bit of snow we got was pretty impressive too for an all season tire.

Pros: quiet on highway, good handling

Cons: loud on expansion joints

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

Mileage: 4828 km

Grip:

Thus far, I'm happy with the Falken tires in 205/60-16 that came on my car. I'm not shy to take turns at higher speeds than everyone around me and these aren't giving me much to complain about so far. I am surprised! Did well in a big rain fall.

Pros: good in rain, good handling

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

my wife has the below setup on her Jetta and I have the General G-MAX AS-05 on my Passat. EeZeEpEe said: I got these to replace my stock tires back in February 2017: General Altimax RT43 Radial Tire - 215/60R16 95H Pretty affordable compared to stock and feel the perform better.

Pros: perform better, affordable

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

Cooper › Tires

Rating 4.0

Grip:

Monday night, I put Cooper CS3's on the front and balanced the garbage West Lakes that are on the rear. All 4 were surprisingly round and none of the rims bent. I can now get around corners faster dry and wet, and can oversteer the car pretty easily when near the limit.

Pros: faster cornering, easy oversteer

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

indy 500s I'm running them on my wifes Jetta and I just got my set on my Mazda 3. I love the grip, it's quiet and pretty good in the rain. I had the BFG COMP A/S but these seem better.

Pros: good grip, quiet

Cons: pretty good in rain

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

Right now I'm running [General Tire Altimax R43s](http://generaltire.com/tires/passenger-and-minivan/altimax-rt43). Most people aren't familiar with General, even if they are one of the oldest tire companies out there.

Pros: fantastic bang for buck

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

DUNLOP › Tires

Rating 3.0

Grip:

Drove in the rain with the Dunlop Saturday. The traction control came on a few times, but I think its due more to the amount of low-end torque the GLI makes. Now it wasn't difficult to drive, just watch how much throttle you give it.

Pros: easy to drive

Cons: traction control activates

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

Ride comfort:

the Contis (ContiProContact NON Eco Plus) that came stock on my '14 Jetta were utter crap. Couldn't balance them despite multiple shops and Road Force, etc. Replaced with el cheapo Hankooks and it was like a new car, smooth as silk.

Pros: smooth as silk (Hankook)

Cons: unbalanceable, utter crap (Conti)

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta
