I was told to run right around 40psi in my Continental ExtremeContact tires. I was running about 38 in my Michelins with no adverse effects.
Pros: no adverse effects

i'm really happy w/ my decission on the falken 512's.... they've been on prolly 3k miles so far and no problems... and believe me... i have to try REALLY hard to slide out or screetch in them.... also when i torque break for my launches, i can't even peel out anymore, the most i get is a light screetch followed by me being sucked into my seat
Pros: happy, no problems
Mileage: 3000 km
i run between 32-30 psi in minw with no problems at all. i am showing normal treadwear with that setting. The ride is good there as well, well, as good of a ride as you can get out of goodyears.
Pros: normal treadwear, good ride
Cons: ride quality limited
Dry traction is great, Ill be able to give you a better idea when i get my suspension installed this week. No noise at all, ive put a couple thousand miles on the tires. The tires are surprisingly quiet. So far so good
Pros: great dry traction, quiet
Cons: outside edge wearing
Mileage: 2000 km
just got some put on my ride yesterday. I am very pleased so far. We had a ton of rain here yesterday and the new shoes grip like mad on wet pavement.
Pros: good grip on wet pavement
I am on my second set of SP5000's also on my Passat. They are a great UHP all-season tire. The big knock on them is quick wear, even with a 340 treadwear rating.
Pros: great UHP all-season tire
Cons: quick wear
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
The SP5000s were the tires I had on my MkII when I sold it. They were +2 and the best tire that I ran on that car in 13 years.
Pros: best tire, great performance
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
had fm901 before, comparing to what i have now, i will have to say, Potenza G009 is a better tire.
Pros: better tire
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta IV
I wasn't thrilled to see the OEM tire choice is yet again the marginal Bridgestone RE92, but they seem to do the job without being noisy. I have a feeling a set of dry-pavement UHP tires (RE730, S-03, etc) would make a good thing even better.
Pros: seem to do the job
Cons: marginal OEM tire choice
Vehicle:
Subaru Impreza
Be careful with anything that Pirelli makes with an M&S rating. I've owned both a set of Pirelli P7000 and P7000 SuperSports, which are M&S tires. The SuperSports flatspotted, wore unevenly and did not offer the grip/responsivness as the regular P7000.
Cons: flatspotted, wore unevenly
