Yes, GP5000s are one of the best all around tubeless tires. Good luck finding 32s in stock, been looking for a whole year and NO ONE has them.
The grip is very good (GP5000s might be marginally better), and they are pretty supple tires so they are comfortable
Pros: best all around, very good grip
Cons: hard to find
personally I skipped going for the Hakkapeliittas this time and went with Continental IceContact XTRM Studded, So far they have been great! but damn are they loud on dry pavement lol.
Pros: have been great
Cons: loud on dry pavement
At the front, the first bushings to go are the upper control arms where they meet the strut. If you're confident that the ball joints are fine, you can replace these bushings with poly bushings, push the old ones out and the new ones back in, I did this without taking the arms completely off the car.
Pros: replace bushings without arm removal

Volkswagen Phaeton
Continental 175/70 r13 tires imported from Italy in July 2020 (at substantial expense \ud83e\udd23) to wrap this set of 82 Jetta wheels for my resto-mod. Finally got them painted to my satisfaction in reflex silver. Searched all of US and Canada for Continental 175/70s with no luck.
Pros: painted to satisfaction
Cons: substantial expense
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta

From my experience between PSS and CSC05's The Contis are a lot less sticky (comparatively anyway) and have a bit more flex.
Pros: more flex
Cons: less sticky
Kenda sucks. Immediately replace for Continental. Super sports last for at least 6 months pf daily use.
Pros: last for 6 months
Cons: Kenda sucks
