I've been running 18" Conti Pure Contacts for about 8k miles now. Initially, I didn't love the tire but they handled good so I decided to keep them. Recently had them rebalanced and rotated which that made a difference. Ride is firmer than Michelin's or OEM Contis but this is one of the best handling tire I've owned on any of my cars. Hydroplaning resistance and snow traction for an all season tire is excellent.

Pros: handling good, snow traction excellent

Cons: firmer ride

I took a look at all the options people noted here and ended up with the Michelin Pilot A/S 3. I have to say the new tires are a lot better then the Pirelli's that were OEM on the car, cornering is much sharper and noise is non existent.

Pros: sharper cornering, no noise

I have had Conti DW performance summer tires on my TDI for over a year, now, and run them between 40 - 41 psi. For me, that is a good compromise between handling and comfort, and gives the added benefits of longer tire life and better fuel economy. Note, however, that the standard sport suspension on the US TDI, while about equal in handling to the GTI on real roads, is a bit softer and more forgiving on bad roads. Also, 16" wheels help and are better suited to the chassis than 17" wheels.

Pros: good handling, good comfort, longer tire life, better fuel economy

Michelin Primacy MXM4 in 235/40/18 is exactly what I would do! I did similar with 17" wheels on my MKVI TDI and then my friend did it with the 18" wheels on his MKVI GTI. As for the Primacy MXM4, I love them. I've had mine for about 55K miles now and will be replacing them with the exact same thing when the time comes pretty soon, before the winter hits in Pennsylvania. But the tires really have lasted well and they are as quiet and comfortable as any tire I have ever had on a car.

Pros: quiet and comfortable

I notice some of the new GTIs at my dealer are coming with pirelli P7 tires vs the P zero. P7s are grand touring tires. I have them on my car and handle and ride great and theyll hopefully last longer than usual. Theyre cheaper than Mich. too. Ive bought cheap tires, mid range tires and expensive tires before and the P7s seem to be the best so far. Id recommend them. Plus, Ive purchased p zeros before and dont remember them being all that great. I am very happy with the p7 grand touring tire so far. very quiet and smooth.

Pros: very quiet, smooth ride

I bought these a while ago basically to store my B5 on; they have seen the road for about 200kms back and forth to the paint shop. No scratches, bends, rash, nothing. The tires are Nankang 215/35s and have some camber wear but could easily be used for the remainder of this season and next season.

Pros: no scratches, bends, rash

Cons: some camber wear

Decided to go with GoodYear Assurance Comfortred Touring tires. Already put on 400 miles on them and I have no complaints yet. However... they ride better than the previous tires. The Comfortred sticks to the road and at high rate of speed (80mph) was a slight noise level to them but after riding on them, I do not hear any noise from them.

Pros: sticks to the road, ride better

Cons: slight noise level

I have the exact same problem with my tires. I also just got my 20,000 mile service done and they rotated the tires. I now have a lot of road noise from the front tires and even more vibration. At low speeds there's a loud hum and at 65 I still have steering wheel vibration. The vibration at 65 has been there since the day I bought it and as far as the noise the dealer told me I have to take it up with Pirelli. I hate these tires and would never recommend them to anyone.

Cons: road noise, steering wheel vibration
