I run Nexen N'Fera SU1 tires on my GTI in the summer: https://www.nexentireusa.com/tires/high-performance/n-fera-su1 Best budget tires I've ever tried. They are wearing nicely, grip in dry and wet is great. I was VERY surprised about the wet weather performance. I'd buy them again and again, no questions asked.
I've had both. Get the Firestone and don't look back. Best tire I've used in the price range.
i run Michelin lattitudes after going through the OEM GY s at 30K miles.
The Indy 500 is slightly better performing, while the RE760 is slightly more comfortable / refined. Which do you prefer? I had a set of the 500s and they were a really good value.
Ill throw another one in here, I have used general altimax arctic tires on my e30 for about 5 years now and love them. Im down in PA, USA but have managed through 8 inches of snow in my car and they lasted me about 3 winters (plus one summer cause I was lazy).
I can recommend continental, Pirelli or Dunlop. They all are pretty expensive but it's worth it, considering how much better they drive on e.g. a wet road or something. have a look at tests, continental is usually #1 or #2, that says pretty much about their quality. I personally only buy Conti and have never been disappointed, my dad has kumho on his car and they are so slippery it's scary.
I picked up a set of Core Racing winter wheels that look good (I don't like the look of plain steel wheels), and put Nokian Hakkapeliitta RSi tires on them. I just replaced them two weeks ago with a brand new set of Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 tires. Best winter tires available, if you ask me.
They have an aggressive tread pattern and I have driven them for the last 7 months in a variety of conditions from downpouring rain to hot, humid sun and they have not let me down yet. I push them hard on a cloverleaf on-ramps. They grip well and don't even chirp.
a bit noisy when worn but they stretch well and last plenty long. I usually buy them when going for new tires. NS-II
I ran a set of Nankang tires for 4 months. They came on the wheels I bought and they had good tread, so I figured that it would just be a waste for me to spend money on new tires while running these. They are not great - winter traction is non-existent, it was legitimately scaring driving on these tires when it was below 20 degrees outside and my car is AWD so that's saying something too (I didn't die though so I guess it's okay ), dry traction is okay, but tires feel very numb. They ride kind of hard too and are noisy. I do drive them up to 100+ usually. Haven't had an issue so far. I am taking them off and putting a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3s. I am expecting big improvements. So my recommendation: don't buy them. save the money, use your current set, and when you have enough, get a decent set of tires.
