My 2012 GLI came with Pirelli PZero Nero A/S tires on it. It handles incredibly well, not sure how much of that is GLI and how much is the tires, but definitely no complaints here.

I had Pirelli snows last year and they worked great
My Pirellis got very noisy at 20K and were badly cupped by 30K. I wouldn't recommend replacing them with another set of the same tire.
The top rated tire in this class was a Pirelli P Zero Nero All Season tire.
the stock P-Zero Neros are garbage. I've replaced all 4 of mine. I have two of them with a decent amount of tread sitting outside because I couldn't bring myself to toss them, but they really suck.
I'm pretty happy with how things came out with the tires. We really haven't had any snow where I live to really try them out, but in the cold weather, even the dry traction is worlds better than the PZeros that came on the care---despite being an inch smaller and a good amount narrower (235 vs 255).
I haven't had any issues with vibration, but have noticed more road noise on my Pirellis after 20 K. Probably won't get another set.
I thought the Pirellis were smoother and quieter than the Dunlops (all new cars here), but now that I am reading about how bad they become, maybe I am better off with the Dunlops
From my experience, when the pirellis start to go, they suck quickly. Didn't realize how bad noise / vibration was @ 20k until I got new Hankook v12s.
i also get this! my car has 20k and I am ready for new tired my pirelli are crap! hopefully that fixes the issue...
