Tires seem to be wearing fine. The ride is a lot like the A3 I replaced (18\" wheels on a Golf platform). I expect similar wear as my Audi.
I just had a set of OEM Hankook Optimos last ~65000 miles. Replaced them with a set of Hankook Ventus S1 Noble2's and all is good so far.
Only have used the Ventus V12 Evo/2 on my Boxster, have been pleased with them.
Used the V12's on my Saab, good wear and quiet and get about 35-40k miles out of them. R-S3's for rain tires on my track TT, they work well for both slightly damp track days and in the heavy rain. On the street they are quiet compared to the Nitto NT-05's and last longer 30k miles normally opposed to 15-20k.
I've run Rs-3s on the Alfa. They are good option for a budget performance tire because they wear really well.
I have Hankook tires on my '77 Town Car. Miles above the 35 year-old Michelin Xs they replaced. They are quiet and grippy in the corners.
I've driven Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 2's my dad's 993 quite a bit. No complaints, they work fine for highway cruising/spirited driving.
I had a set of Hankook Winter i*Pikes, and I liked them. Not as grippy as Blizzaks or Toyo G-02s, but they were also fairly cheap.
i have them on 15x8 on a 165/45 and they are by no means autocrossing tires. What they do have, is the forgiveness in treadwear so they tend to last much better than the toyo proxes that were phased out over a year ago. Now those handled great, but had a terrrible tire tread life.
A few years back I looked at a CPO 2009 GTI - had Sunny tires on it. Besides the rest of the car being beat to snot and smelling terrible, the tires were horrible. I didn't look at what was on the car until after the test drive. I couldn't believe it was a CPO.
