For what it's worth, I used to run the cheapest 235/40ZR18 tires I could find on my Jetta(Sunny brand if I recall), after a few years, I never had any complaints. Paid about $105 each and they seemed worth the money to me and not much different than the name brands($200+ each), at least as far as durability/safety was concerned
Love my BF-Goodrich G-Force Comp 2 A/S.
I went with the G-Force Comp-2 A/S and paid something like $703 after installation, which also included a road hazard warranty. I found a really good deal and could have gotten some alternatives even cheaper, but the tire was the highest ranked in its category on TireRack. No regrets with the purchase, as these tires significantly outperform the Continental OEMs.
I run 255/40-17 tires on all four corners of my Honda S2000 track day car. I wanted to be able to use those on the R, so I had Adaptec make custom adapters: 15mm thick in front, 25mm thick for the rear. On them I have a set of Hankook RS-3s 255/40-17, a set of Nitto NT01s (same size) and a set of BFG Comp 2 A/S 245/45-17 (my all season go anywhere tires used on the R as a daily driver). I am at stock ride height and none of these tires ever rub.
I was in the same boat and I decided to roll with the BF Goodrich g-force comp 2 A/S tires. So far they're awesome and I have no complaints after about a month.
I recently went through this with my 2012 Passat with 18s on it. I decided to try something different. I did the BF Goodrich Comp 2 A/S tires. Very reasonably priced, Z rated, and has extremely good ratings for dry, wet and snow. So far I am very pleased.
If you can afford it I suggest BFG. Michelin bought them, kept their price structure, but imposed Michelin quality controls on production.
I bought bf winter slaloms for my girlfriend and I this year. Live in Canada. Really bad winter. They were amazing and was not disappointed. From what I read online these were best bang for the buck.
just some feedback, stray away from bfg g-force kdw2 if you dont want noise. they handle amazing wet and dry, wearing good. BUT they have alot of road noise. not as much as my winters, but more than i would like.
i had some sunny tires last year just bc i was looking for cheap tires they wore like **** i needed new tire in 15k. the fronts where showing belts and the rears where cupped badly so this year im getting some 512s
