Continental ExtremeContact Sport, 225/40/18
These are the tires this car should have come with from the factory. They are smoother, quieter, and (obviously) grippier than the OEM A/S tires in dry and wet conditions.
Tires Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ 225/45ZR17 94/y.
Fairly quiet tires, grip is good, and they've never left me wanting.
I'm running 225/40R18 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires on my stock 18" Laguna wheels on my Mk6.
NVH is similar to the stock tires, but they have way more grip.
I have only ever used the Ventus V12 Evo2 tires. They were the exact opposite - tread lasted far longer than I expected. Had to replace them due to age, not mileage / tread.
Michellin Pilot A/S3+ 235/45/17
Potholes have nothing on me. Great grip in rain and dry. Cabin is a lot quieter than when I have Continental A/S.
215/65/16 BFGoodrich K02s. 27” rolling diameter is our maximum number. My wheels are 16x8 et30. NO RUBBING AT ALL!
I have 4 Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 2 on one of my cars and they are awesome tires. They are now nearing 2 years old and have done over 40k Km on them and they still have at least 30% thread left before hitting the thread marker.
Correct they're renamed RE-11's. I only use them for summer since I'm in the Chicago area. I've had them on the car for three summer's now and they're pretty much done for now but that includes a couple track days per summer. They're probably about 90% of the PSS in the end they lack the ultimate grip of the PSS but at about a 1/3 of the price. I'd wager I've put about 25k on them in the three summers which is pretty good for a summer only tire.......
I did 215/45/18 xice3 on OE wheel for more sidewall, If I did it again I would do stock size 2254018. I lost a little bit of responsiveness/ punch from the 1/2\" taller overall diameter and also some curb protection from the 1/2\" narrower tire.
Love them in deeper snow and slushy road but the trade off on dry pavement is HUGE. With the Hakka, my car is dancing all around. I hate that...
