Tires BRIDGESTONE or Achilles
I have the same car and just got bridgestone turanza quiettrack tires. I didn't like the Goodyear that came with the car as I felt they were loud and you felt everything in the road. The Bridgestone we're a huge upgrade. Very quiet and smooth ride.
Got new tires on my I3s. Drive is smoother than stock tires.
I bought a set for my Kia Seltos and have been driving on them for a few days now.
So far I am impressed with how much lower impact noise and quieter they are than the factory Kuhmo Majesty 9's.
I put about 10 laps on a set of Achilles all seasons on stock power at my last drift event and the tires still look new. I had heard bad things about Achilles but so far so good for me.
Great condition matching set of OEM 16 inch Volkswagen Borbet wheels with matching Bridgestone tires. Wheels have a couple minor small scratches as shown in pictures are very representative. Matching tires have about 9-10/32 of thread left, no patches. Used like new for less than half the price. Asking price will include center caps.
Battalax S21, nice and grippy and pretty affordable
I picked up a set of s22 while bridgestone was having their rebate deal, I'm going to have them put on after my next track day.
Achilles tires are really lightweight and can take some abuse
I just had my original ecopia 422 205/55/16's swapped out with a set of Nokian Solstice all weather tires in the same size. All seasons don't do well in the wet and slushy snow we get here in south coast of B.C.
I was unfortunate to receive my GTI with a set of the RE97AS's. Rough surfaces are the worst - makes everything in the car rattle or vibrate. Dry grip is quite poor (as others have mentioned), bad breakaway even at low throttle inputs. At cruising speeds on newer highways (rubberized asphalt) everything seems fine.
