I have BF Goodrich G-force T/A KDW2 on my GTI... They are FANTASTIC in the rain. I've gone miles and miles at sustained speeds of over 100mph in the rain with no problems whatsoever.
generally i buy BFG or Michelin, as when i worked in a garage, they were the best wearing, least problematic, and best performing tires for my needs.... Falkens/goodyears/bridgestones wear great tires (assuming they bought the correct tire for their application) but each had their troubles... often times it was customer maintinence, people never aligned, checked pressure, or other random issues... other times it was the tires generally wearing out too damned fast, as seen with most of the newer goodyears, and on a trip to test drive for goodyear, they even told me that they were having some issues with wear... bridgestones just never impressed me for the price, as there was a BFG G-force in the mix that was always as good...
I have had the Wintrac extreme for 3 years now and did some serious autobahn racing with those babies. I must admit that the tyres are superb,doin' 280kph on the autobahn is no problem.
All I know about them is they make good winter tires (and then... mostly only from reviews - I only have talked to one person who had a set on his car - and reported good results)... supposedly around the same levels as Nokian Hakka's and Gislaved Nord-Frost...
I had these on my A4 avant a coupel years ago. They were the best tires I ever owned. I had the ultrac2 I think. The rubber is very thick. I got a nail in it once and the mechanic at my work was impressed they did not punchure the tire.
A buddy of mine had a set of their snows on his Jetta - he liked them a lot.
A buddy of mine had a set of their snow tires - oh geez, about 10 years ago now? I remember them because they were freaking fantastic - keeping up with 4wd Jeeps in an 84 Accord through Wilson Twp in PA. I just remember driving his car and just could not believe the snow grip.

I had a friend that got a set of 19's from ebay. He said they were ok but wore pretty quickly iirc.
I have had this problem too after I got my car back from the shop and had almost new BFGoodrich KDW2's put on. Ever since, the car instantly pulls over to the right to a point where I was always holding the steering wheel a little left everyplace I went. I set the PSI on both sides equally and that helped some, but it still does it so I hope this thread comes up with something. I was just about to go back to the shop and have them re-align it but the guy swears they already did it. Maybe the steering wheel isn't on correctly, they installed a new airbag as well. It makes the car difficult to control around twisties too.
