I've switched back to my "winter" set up, actually just severe snow rated all-seasons. On this setup, I run Motegis MR131s (Super light, inexpensive wheels BTW), with Vrederstein Quatrac Pro 225/50/17s. I now have just minimal wheelspin at wot in second, even uphill, and I'm able to take off from a light without babying it. I can now drive normally. These tires are Y-rated, so not quite the typical all season.
That being said the tires are Laufenn S Fit AS. I must say after 2k miles on them I actually think they are great tires so far.
I bought some BFGoodrich Advantage T/A Sport and have been very happy with them for a year now.
I put a set of Michelin Defender LTX M/S tires on my previous Outback and they were great
I've had the GTI nearly 5 years now, and the mod list has been fairly simple: Different OEM wheels with Michelin AS/3+ tires + spacers to make them fit the way they should have stock JB1 piggyback module to give the car the in-gear passing power it should have had stock OEM Clubsport S rear exhaust to make it sound a bit more like a GTI, not an anonymous econobox Driver Gear springs to reduce the +10mm ride height from stock that the DCC equipped cars have All LED exterior light conversion so it doesn't look like it's from 2007 A bunch of VCDS tweaks to enable features the car should have had from the factory (comfort open/close on the windows, for instance) None of this dramatically changes the character of the car, and nothing I've done was terribly expensive; but it has made it more the car I wanted it to be stock.
Hi everyone, I just got an e-Golf a couple of months ago and wanted to upgrade my wheels. I ended up with the Belverdere GTi TCR wheels as they're supposed to be the lightest stock 18 that VW do. They came with Bridgestone Potenzas on them that have an E fuel efficiency rating and they drop my miles/kwh from 5 on a careful run to 3 on a careful run. After hunting online, I found a set of Pirelli P7 Blue Cinturatos, which are rated A for fuel efficiency and got them fitted. I'm now back up to 5 miles/kwh with careful driving.
I run Achilles atr sport 2s on everything super cheap pretty good grip on dry. Could be better in the wet but even in the rain in my 350z with no driver aids I’ve never once felt unsafe due to tires
My rims cracked on my BM, and I had to get a replacement set asap, and found a refurbed set with Firemax FM100, they are cheap, like £80 a tyre cheap lol for 255/30/19 but the dry and wet grip is excellent, the road noise is half what the Re050 were (200+ per tyre) and the ride is 100x better, honestly feels like a different car over the Bridgestones.
My dad currently has Westlake tires on his truck and they're not noisy at all. They do have less grip however and you have to be careful on wet roads.
I have the same tires on our 12. Car currently has just shy of 40k miles, I took the car out to see how it would perform in some snow we had gotten. The tires were rock solid and almost caused me to crash twice. Once I was doing less than 5mph slowly applied brakes on a very slight incline and just slid, not on ice but snow. Second was similar getting into a parking lot. Maybe in just spoiled in my S4 with blizzaks, but I'll be replacing these with something different soon
